Even with all the gruesome and horrid looking zombies throughout the movie, I did not think of it as a scary movie at all. Instead of fearing what would pop out next, my attention was more focused on the characters’ personalities and how they interact with each other. An essential part of the movie comes when we see that Wichita and Little Rock first trick Tallahassee and Columbus in the supermarket. We can’t trust zombies but we can’t trust the normal people too? It goes to show that in a world where everyone’s fighting to survive, (much like in our own world where everyone’s competitive for a better job and thus “better life”) people have to learn to not give into temptations and be critical. It is not until after all the time they are (forced) to spend with each other on the road that the girls finally decide to trust the boys.
I think trust is something that people take for granted. It also seems to be the case that we give out our trust easily because we generally want to believe that others are good as well. However, when things get tough, trust suddenly becomes rare. What do you think?
