Due to the new coronavirus, movie theaters have been closed and movies that were supposed to be released have been postponed one after another. We can only hope that the situation will be restored and the films will be released as soon as possible, but in the meantime, it would be a waste to just wait and see... So, let's prepare for the movies while we can! By learning about the production process and looking back at past films, you will have a more profound movie experience.
The first installment of this series will deal with the film, which was scheduled to be released in April.Dead Don't Die." . is the latest work by the well-known master filmmaker Jim Jarmusch. The previous film, "The Last Time I Saw You", depicted an ordinary day in the life of a man.Patterson.In a change from the "The Zombies" (2016), this time the motif is zombies... I'm already curious about it. Let's get started!
Story: In the rural town of Centerville, , an unprecedented and mysterious incident occurs. A body is found dead in a diner, its internal organs brutally eaten away. Bewildered, Chief of Police Cliff (Bill Murray) and Officer Ronnie (Adam Driver) are dispatched to patrol the town, where they discover an eerie hole in the cemetery. , while patrolling the town, they discover an eerie hole in the cemetery, and a series of unusual occurrences in Centerville, including the disappearance of animals. Soon, his ominous premonition comes true, and countless dead people begin to come back to life and bite the locals. They throw themselves into a fierce battle against the zombies, who keep coming back no matter how many times they try to defeat them, but an even more shocking scene awaits them. ......
One, about the sad ecology of zombies.

Walking around unsteadily with their decomposing bodies, biting and killing people indiscriminately ... this is what everyone imagines when they hear the word "zombie. This is the kind of zombie that appears in this film as well, but what exactly is a zombie?
To understand this, we need to look no further than the zombie movie milestone, George A. Romero'sNight of the Living DeadThe quickest way to do this is to watch "The Zombies" (1968). . It is the very first film that created the zombie film formula from scratch. The rules that have become commonplace today, such as the fact that the dead who have been eaten by zombies can be resuscitated, or that a bullet to the head will kill you, began with this film. The background of this film is the Vietnam War and the conflict between blacks and whites, and the zombie was born as a symbol of the people who suffered atrocities in that war.
Jarmusch pays homage to this film while bringing the strong themes of the zombie film into the modern age. I would love to check out what he is satirizing in this film.
Incidentally, it was recently announced that "zombieland' (2009), 'TheI am a hero(2015), and the Resident Evil series are also zombie films in the same vein. All of them are about humans infected by a virus that turns into zombies and attacks the survivors, which, oddly enough, is similar to the current global situation. Watching this film in conjunction with this one may help.
No. 2, that music that makes you fearful.
Not only zombie movies, but these kinds of horror movies are set to music that incites fear. For this film, Sturgill Simpson, a Grammy Award-winning musician, wrote a song called "The Dead Don't Die" for the film. A playlist containing this earworm of a song and other dialogs from the film has been released, so if you're scared, here's a playlist to immunize you. Listening to the song while anticipating what scene it will be played in may be a new way to enjoy the film.
It is very well known that Jarmusch is a music lover. Not only is he particular about the background music in his films, but he has also made a number of documentary films featuring musicians. The first, Neil Young and Crazy Horse, focuses on Neil Young, the reigning American rock star, and his band Crazy Horse.Year of the Horse(1997) is one of them. . You can see his skill in a way that is different from that of fiction.
No.3 , a dazzling lineup of performers anyway

'Thepermanent vacation(1980), in which a boy (Glynis Parker) dances around in a frenzy, and inmystery trainIn "The Cigarette" (1989), Yutaka Kudo and Masatoshi Nagase puff on cigarettes. Jarmusch's works are often mentioned with a set of actors.
Each time, his sense of casting exudes from his work, and this year's lineup is as stunning as ever. In addition to Bill Murray, Tilda Swinton, and Adam Driver, who has participated in the previous film, Chloë Sevigny, Steve Buscemi, Tom Waits, Selena Gomez, and so on, the cast is already too dazzling, but this one is the best of all.

Yes, Iggy Pop, whose extreme performances earned him the nickname "The Nasty Demon. In 2016, Jarmusch released a documentary film about his band, The Stooges, titledGimme Danger.I was making a film called "The Zombies," but I never thought I would get to see him as an actor this time, let alone as a zombie.............kudos to you.
Despite the gorgeous lineup, it is said that some cast members will only be in the picture for a few seconds (extravagant!), so it's a good idea to know in advance. (extravagant!) , so it's a good idea to know in advance.
No. 4: A director who loves Nippon too much

As mentioned in the previous section, the selection of Yutaka Kudo and Masatoshi Nagase for his early works , and the "ghost dogIn Jarmusch's films, there are many instances in which one can sense his interest in Japan, such as the character of a black man who is fascinated with bushido and pursues swordsmanship in "The Way of the Samurai" (1999). In this film, too, there is a scene in which the owner of an undertaker's house, played by Tilda Swinton, wields a sword. Enjoy the scene.
That's all I have to say... sorry I couldn't fit it into two or three... (laughs)
This film is a Jarmusch-esque work of art that is funny and shoulder-less, while still having the horror of a zombie movie. The outlook is uncertain, but for now, let's wait for the release of the film while prepping for it at home! Next time, we will take a look at "Jodorowsky's Psychomagic," the latest film by the brilliant director Alejandro Jodorowsky.
