Ambiguity in our Lives

Rating: Null/10 (14 May 2013)

I'm not going to summarize the movie because IMDb synopsis does a good job in this particular case. I just want to write about something that I noticed thanks to the IMDb user "mytumtumtree" who informed the community about Romeo and Juliet references in the movie. Knowing these in advance I came to realize that the movie is not complete. What I mean is that if it were strictly followed the R&J story in the background of a zombie landscape it would end with the familiar bitter end.
I think lots of ambiguities introduced to the movie just to avoid that bitter end. Like R. (Romeo?) can't remember his full name – it's incomplete. But in the end he doesn't care what it was who he was. He just cares what the future can bring. So, sometimes it's best when we don't stuck on little things, and carry on. A little ambiguity in our lives helps to embrace the idea that things can actually get better so we don't worry who we are and how things are so overwhelming. Like blurring the reality so we can't tell the difference between who is alive and who is dead. In the original R&J story the characters didn't have that advantage and maybe that's why things turned out that awful for them.
Here is a movie that is made for us, the audience, to feel good. Of course gory images are abundant but that doesn't take away the optimism within it.
