Hey what's going on guys
Today I'll show you a horror paranormal romantic film: "Warm Bodies"
Spoiler ahead, watch out and take care
Usually, we believe that Zombies cannot talk,
but actually can they? In this post-apocalyptic, zombie romance film,
the possibility of zombies talking, thinking, and desiring to be human again is explored
As we will see, the driving force of the film is hope
The film is an exploration of hope during a time, when hope seems to be lost amid a chaotic world
We can see this exhibited in the main character, R, as he strongly hopes to be human again
It also shows the impact of hopelessness through the characterization of the main enemy, Boneys,
showing us that hope is the one string that all of us hold on to; and without it, we lose ourselves
Overall, the film is a good romance film,
which uses the formula of a "monster falling in love with a human
" However, it did it in a way that is not only romantic but also motivational,
with the motivational message being "hope is the ultimate cure "
The film opens in an airport
The protagonist describes what he should do with his life,
only to tell the audience that he is now dead
He cannot remember his name, his family, the world prior,
or how everything had turned out the way it is now
He thinks that his name starts with "R", but has forgotten it
While wandering around, R spots a group of deformed zombies called Boneys,
noting that they will eat anything with a heartbeat,
and that all dead people will eventually turn like them
Eventually, he meets with his best friend
Even though they can't speak anymore like normal humans do,
they are able to communicate with each other, sometimes even uttering words like "hungry" and "city
" Because of this, they decide to find food while walking slowly in a pack
In the next scene, a thriving human settlement is shown
A group of young men and women stop in front of a big television, where they get a briefing
This group consists of scavengers for the settlement,
with one of them being the announcer's daughter, Julie
After the briefing, the group heads outside of the settlement to scavenge for medical supplies
Meanwhile, R's pack smells something, immediately heading towards the source of the smell
The two groups eventually converge inside a room full of medicine
The human group, led by Perry, shoots against R's pack of zombies
While the chaos is ensuing, R spots Julie firing at them,
and he is stunned by her beauty and smelly hormones
Eventually, however, R gets shot by Perry,
and R responds by angrily pulling Perry down to the ground to bite him
R narrates that he is not proud of doing this; but he has no choice
R decides to eat Perry's brain to gain his memories
After eating Perry's brain, R sees all of Perry's memories
In the memory, it is shown that Perry and Julie are lovers;
but this memory gets cut off when Julie starts to search for Perry
R then stores some of Perry's leftover brains in his pockets to be eaten later
Afterward, R approaches Julie while saying her name
He then tells the scared Julie the word "safe", when the pack of zombies starts to gather in the room
He then tells Julie to come with them;
and Julie has no choice, but to follow and leave her friend behind
R leads Julie to the airport
While leading her there, R thinks to himself that what he is doing is weird and insane
He then leads Julie to an abandoned airplane full of collected objects,
telling Julie that this is his home
Julie still looks disturbed by what is happening to her
R assures her that he will not eat her due to her smelly hormones;
but Julie is understandably still terrified of him
After R leaves, Julie cries in fear
Shortly after, R goes to a secluded place to eat Perry's leftover brain,
so that he can learn more about Julie
He then continues to revisit Perry's memories
There, it is shown that Julie's dad is the mastermind for creating the walls of the settlement
It is also shown that Julie and Perry once escaped the settlement to reach Perry's dad,
who was working outside the walls
Upon reaching his dad's workplace, Perry finds out that his dad has turned into a zombie
With Perry's dad rushing towards them, Julie shoots Perry's father
They then get chased by a horde of zombies
After the memory finishes, R decides to approach Julie in a different way,
so that she won't be scared of him
After returning, R gives Julie a blanket; and then heads towards the phonograph to play music
At this point, Julie is confused by R's human-like actions, asking him what the hell he is
The following day, Julie wakes up feeling hungry
After R tells her that it is not safe, Julie then asks R to give her some food
R is happy to oblige
But after R leaves, Julie escapes and makes a run for it
However, she stops when she sees multiple groups of zombies
Suddenly, R shows up behind Julie to smear blood on her face,
telling her not to run and then act dead
At first, Julie comically walks like a stereotypical zombie; but R tells her that it's too much
They then find a canned fruit cocktail; and Julie happily eats it back in the airplane
R gives Julie a bottle of beer
Julie delightfully drinks the beer, telling R that he's not that bad
R then tells her that he has a name, and that it starts with "R"; but he cannot remember
After settling with just "R," Julie tells R that she wants to go home;
but R tells her that she has to wait a few days
Afterward, the two drive a car
After having her fun, Julie then teaches R how to drive
After they do this, they return back to the airplane, where Julie plays a record
This is followed by a montage, showing the two bonding together
The following day, Julie asks R if her dead boyfriend will return;
and R immediately answers no Julie then tells R that it is for the best,
tearfully telling him that she has been preparing for it for a very long time
That night, while Julie is sleeping, R eats another piece of Perry's brain,
stating that the dead can't sleep and dream
In that memory, it is shown that Perry becomes a soldier due to his father's death
R also sees the events leading to Perry's eventual death, making R spit his brain in disgust
When R looks at Julie again, he finds that she is gone
In the next scene, Julie is fighting a group of zombies surrounding her
When Julie is about to get bitten by R's best friend, R arrives
just in time to punch his best friend in the face
After finishing the fight, Julie tells R that it has been a few days,
and that she really needs to go home
R tells her to stay together
R's best friend rises from the floor, and angrily tells R that the living should be eaten
Just as he said this, a Boney arrives at the scene, making Julie and R leave
They then run together, but the Boney is hot on their trail
They are able to escape the Boney for a while; but they eventually meet a group of Boneys
Just as the Boneys are approaching them, R's best friend arrives
hitting and knocking down the Boneys
R's best friend then offers his help because he likes Julie
They then head to the garage
There, a horde of zombies is awaiting them
Out of fear, Julie holds R's hand
After the zombies witness this, they let the two pass to get to their car
They immediately head out when Boneys are fast approaching them
While driving during a rainy night, Julie has to stop over because she is freezing
They stop by at a house in an abandoned neighborhood
Later, when Julie is about to go to sleep,
she invites R to the room because the house creeps her out
Meanwhile, back in the airport, R's best friend sees a picture of two people holding hands,
making him remember a time when he was holding someone's hand
He then asks the zombie beside him if he can feel it; and the zombie nods at him
They then start to have heartbeats
However, behind them, a group of Boneys appear, with one of them shouting at his face
Back in the abandoned house, Julie and R see an army convoy,
with Julie's dad aboard in one of the trucks
Julie then comments that her father will immediately kill R if he sees him
Afterward, Julie goes to bed; while R lays down on the floor
After taking off her still-soaked clothes,
Julie tells R that he's a good person for trying to be human
However, filled with guilt,
R confesses that he's the one that killed Perry when giving her Perry's watch
After knowing this, Julie turns her back at R, with R apologizing to her
In the middle of the night, R unexpectedly dreams
In his dream, he sees Julie, Perry, and another girl
Perry tells R that he can't dream because only humans dream,
but Julie tells R that he can dream whatever he wants
The following day, R wakes up, only to find that Julie is not in her bed anymore
R immediately heads outside to look for her; but Julie is nowhere to be found
R walks away feeling defeated, telling himself that this is what he gets for desiring more
Meanwhile, Julie arrives at the gate of the settlement;
but she is checked by the guard to make sure she is not infected
Julie's dad gets out of the gate to meet her, telling her that he's been looking for her
Her dad then gives her a hug, and welcomes her home
While walking to the airport, R tells himself that he will forget about Julie
However, when it rains, R suddenly feels cold, telling himself that the dead don't get cold
R then encounters his best friend along with other zombies
R hugs his best friend
Afterward, R asks his best friend why he is out here;
and his best friend replies that he got chased out by Boneys
He then tells R that Boneys have been looking for him and Julie,
telling R that he started something
His best friend tells him that he remembers his mom, cream, wheat, and a hormone-smelly girl
R then tells him that it is a dream, telling his best friend that he thinks they are changing
R then decides that he must tell Julie about this, asking the other zombies for their help
After the zombies accept, the group then slowly marches toward the settlement
After telling the group to stay, R goes alone to the settlement,
walking at the path where Perry and Julie walked together to get out of the settlement
Because of this, R secretly manages to get inside the settlement, and blends in with the humans
That night, Julie tells her friend that she actually misses R,
and her friend thinks that it is weird
After her friend leaves the room, Julie goes to the balcony, and that is where she sees R
Julie is surprised but immediately gets concerned for R's well-being
They then meet each other at the door, giving each other a hug
Upstairs, Julie's friend interviews and examines R
R then tells Julie that a lot of the zombies are changing;
but they have to move fast because Boneys are fast approaching
Upon hearing this, Julie decides to talk to her unreasonable dad
Seeing that there is no other choice
Julie and her friend decide to put some makeup on R's face,so that people won't notice him
Afterward, they head toward Julie's dad
Julie approaches her father, asking him what is happening
Julie's dad tells her that Boneys and zombies are seen approaching the settlement;
so they must prepare
Julie then tells her dad that the zombies are somehow curing themselves;
but her dad does not believe her
R then approaches Julie's dad to explain
Upon R's reaching Julie's dad, the dad concludes that R is a zombie
so he immediately takes out his gun to threaten R
luckily, R is saved by Julie's friend, who pointed a gun toward Julie's dad
The two escape and arrive at the stadium where the other zombies are
Julie gets shocked by the sight of many zombies
Afterward, Boneys arrive as well, and R asks his best friend to hold them off
They then get chased by both Boneys and soldiers alike
When the other soldiers arrive to where the zombies are,
they see a confusing battle between zombies and Boneys
They then decide to help the zombies
After running so much, Julie and R encounter a large group of Boneys
When they open the door to escape the Boneys, they see that it is a dead end
With no other way to escape, the two decide to jump,
with R holding Julie close as they plunge to the water below
After getting in the water, the two then tongue massage each other
Julie notices that the light in R's eyes returns;
but this is abruptly cut when R gets shot in the chest by Julie's dad
Julie tries to explain to her dad that R is different;
and when she turns around, she sees that R is bleeding, indicating that he is alive
Julie's dad then informs his men that the situation has changed
Afterward, it is shown that humans and zombies unite to finish off the Boneys
The world begins to change after that, with humans slowly accepting zombies,
eventually leading them to live side by side
