Zombieland Part 2

ZOMBIELAND

Continue from the last week review of Zombieland, which will discuss the rest of the genre in this film. Just a recap last week genre is Comedy, Horror and Romance, this week we are going to talk about the Sci-Fi, Action and Road Trip genre.

Sci-fi

It is a genre that are about fictional ideas which are created based on the technology or science theories. For example, Virus causes people to mutate, time travel, Alien Invasion, parallel universe and etc. So in the film we can find that it is counted as a Sci-Fi films because of the zombie apocalypse is caused by the "mad zombie disease" the idea was based on mutation concepts which is why the film has the genre of Sci-Fi. There is also Apocalyptic and post-apocalyptic fiction in this film, a sub genre which is about the end of civilization causes by disasters, which in this film it's the "mad cow disease".

Action

Action film is a genre which is about storytelling through the physical action. The story usually is about a hero that has a goal, but is facing incredible obstacles in order to achieve it. The film will often have many motions and actions which include physical stunts, pursuit, fights, and battles. Which in Zombieland is Columbus was a coward and nerdy guy, who has set many strategic rules for himself in order to survive from the zombie apocalypse which one of them is "Don't Be A Hero", but in the end he broke the rules and fight the zombies in order to save Wichita and Little Rock. There is also a sub genre can be found in this film which is Action-Comedy is depending on the characters to bring out the humors, while the action scenes tend to be less intense than other traditional action movie. In Zombieland which is the "Double Tap" performed by the 4 characters with many kinds of way, for example The scene where Tallahassee killed the zombies and drive over them in order to make sure they are dead, another example is that Tallahassee opens the car door and hit the zombies when they are on the journey to Columbus nearly at the beginning of the film.

Roadfilm

Road film its a genre that is about the main character leaves the home and went on a journey,  on the way the character changes, grows, and improves during the journey. In Zombieland, we can find that Columbus was actually away from home, and he wanted to head home to find his family. There is a short scene, where Columbus and Tallahassee's car was being robbed by Wichita and Little Rock and forced them to walk on their journey. Another very obvious scene is that, when the 4 characters on the journey to the Pacific Playland, they take turns staying up and drive, shot where is just showing the 4 characters in the car bonding their relationships and get to know each other better. 

Will I Recommend it?

Yes, because its a very great example of mixtures of genre in just one movie. And I also love the humors of the rules set by Columbus in the film.
