George A. Romero’s Land of the Dead

Raid on a zombie infested town for supplies. 

“I thought this was going to be a battle. Its a fucking massacre.” 

The use of fireworks to mesmerize the zombies, the overwhelming firepower used to wipe most of them out and raiding the town to secure its resources for the rich and powerful of Fiddler’s Green is often cited as a commentary on the 2003 Invasion of Iraq. “Shock and Awe”, superior firepower to the point of overkill against an outgunned enemy, all for the purpose of stealing what they have to benefit the rich. Along with the the vast inequality in the fortress city, Romero also satirizes the imperialism of late phase capitalism.

                                      “I’m like my zombies. I won’t stay dead!”

“My zombie films have been so far apart that I’ve been able to reflect the socio-political climates of the different decades. I have this conceit that they’re a little bit of a chronicle, a cinematic diary of what’s going on.”

Everyone says that since the presence of running zombies, that they are scarier than slow zombies. Not when the bastards learn to use fucking guns!

Bub from “Day of the Dead” and Big Daddy from “Land of the Dead”. They have gone beyond just using tools!

George A Romero. A man who almost single handedly started the zombie apocalypse genre. His rules are still the be all end all.
