brief interruption of the Blog: The Walking Dead 
Anyone who knows me knows that I love zombies. My adoration for them not to be understood in a literal way, I love them, sure, but I would not hesitate to use a shotgun on them and my extensive use of the magnum in the first Resident Evil was not exactly meant as a gesture of affection but, in my way, I wish them good.
So I waited for the pilot of "The Walking Dead" with great curiosity as I saw good to get me the file in real time.
We're talking about TV series in the transposition of a successful graphic novel by Robert Kirkman and Tony Moore (sometimes replaced by Charlie Adlard) which tells, in short, of a sheriff dealing with a little gay awakening from a coma: the world as it was a time no longer exists, the classic infection zombificante (kill but keeps alive part of the system nervous or so it seemed) has filled the streets of cute ex et hydrophobic hungry human beings, can be deactivated only by blow on the head.
The director and writer of the activity (hours are 6 one-hour episodes each) Frank Darabont ("The Green Mile" and the less fortunate "The Majestic"), a man who seems to be in the process of writing and direct a remake of "Fahrenheit 451" (and do not say that Frank lacks ambition) in addition to being co-producer of the series along with Gale Anne Hurd (who has made them deaf for "Terminator").
(You said "gavallo?)
The attempt to "serialize" the TV zombies had already been with "Dead Set" of 2008 (if you have not seen I suggest you retrieve it), but while it welcomes the project and the use legittimissimo, grant me the superlative , the show was a zombie, could not reproduce the cinematic appeal of good genre film, however, cleverly collapsing on television and as a means to an end and taking home the result.
prodottino The Walking Dead is not bad: it has rhythm, a classic plot twist and respectful of the kind that could make interesting episodes after the pilot. Impossible not to notice the references to a landmark as "28 Days Later" from the initial quote from explicit (Awakening, the hospital, the explanation of recent events by two survivors met by chance) the journey of hope towards a secure haven, one intuits, is as safe as the good faith of silvioberluscone.
So far no trace of irony in the narrative: the mood is gloomy, everything seems lost and hopes are sedated by dichiarazionidi some survivors who show little trust on the real conditions dell'agognato refuge. Zombies are outlined at the first Romero manner with regard to the attitude (half-decomposed, slow, relentless, hungry) and, while lacking, for now, of any kind of conscious intelligence glimpse attention to their status (Ex) human victim of the disease and more typical of the last film of his uncle George
.
The protagonist, played by a convincingly measured and Andrew Lincoln is flanked by figures showing potentially interesting nuances that developed in the future, promise to enrich the narrative.
Let's just say that the pilot planting well and got good feedback from both the public and by most critics, the moment of truth arrives, however, with subsequent episodes, it is not a mystery that keep pace and in the public interest in the era PL (Post Lost) has become a gamble.
PS I root for Frank Darabont, if only because I find that today presented a first writing of "Indiana Jones and The Kingdom Of The Crystal Skull", adopted by Spielberg and Lucas rejected by that, who knows, maybe he would revive the fortunes of that crap.
