"Zombieland 2" - a sequel that we deserve
Educational Program Cinema / / December 19, 2019
on October 24 at the Russian screens out comedy horror sequel to the famous 2009 "Zombieland." 10 years ago, the film novice director Ruben Fleischer conquered the audience a witty look at the zombie apocalypse, and a vivid cast of a very simple story.
And now the long-awaited continuation of the returns on the screens loved by the team, makes a half hours to go back and just great fun too.
The same warm atmosphere
The first part of the main characters of Columbus (Jesse Eisenberg) and Tallahassee (Woody Harrelson) met by chance on the road, fleeing from invasion zombie. They later met with two sisters Wichita (Emma Stone) and Little Rock (Abigail Breslin), who first robbed them, and fled. But then among all the heroes began a warm relationship.
And if the first part under the zombie comedy tells about the formation of a new family, the continuation of a very cleverly reveals the problems that have accumulated at the close people.
All the characters live in the empty White House, but Wichita is afraid of excessive proximity to Columbus and Little Rock bored paternal care Tallahassee. And the sisters escape, resulting in a younger disappears with a new boyfriend.
And once again tied a simple but energetic and funny story: the heroes embark on a quest Little Rock, encountering along the way of new friends and, of course, zombies.
In general, talk about the plot of "Zombieland" - useless occupation. The first part of the audience fell in love with does not have a global plan or some important twists. In these films is more important than style, humor and emotion. After all, the characters are not so much fighting the walking dead, many are trying to find their home.
The sequel has managed to maintain exactly the same mood. Strictly speaking, in order to fall in love with a new tape, not necessarily the original watch. Everything is clear from the strings. Yet to fully experience the atmosphere and understand the references will be only those who are acquainted with the heroes of the past.
Continued begins with a completely opposite idea. Heroes have become accustomed to live in a world of zombies. A stagnation and tranquility inevitably leads to conflicts. Now the family needed a shake-up, to reach a new stage of relations.
But we must not think that the writers, is also responsible for the first film, and both parts of "Deadpool"Suddenly decided to go into drama. Corporate humor is also on-site. Almost any serious skirmish eventually discharged joke, let alone action-filled scenes fun trash to the eyeballs.
And most of all off Woody Harrelson, even though he was older than their partners in court. Tallahassee not only fights and swearing, and now he still dresses up in Elvis, dances, sings and talks about his Indian roots.
The rest of the central characters on the background looks a little calmer, but firm lines on the spot, and it is impossible not to be moved forever sarcastic Wichita near Columbus timid. Moreover, in her absence, he has time to do anything stupid.
It has not gone away and the beautiful floats on the screen points from the rules of survival, which is still fond of quoting on the Internet, and even inserts for the best zombie killing. The plot is generally not affected, just entertaining. Although other reasons for a laugh enough.
Twice... just
Given the cult of the first film, Ruben Fleischer came to creating a sequel easiest and most logical way: take the most successful components and doubled their number.
The audience loved the skirmish of the main characters and a variety of road bikes? characters now pin up each other incessantly. Failed action scenes with zombies as cannon fodder? Now even more walking dead, they are diverse and kill them with the most ingenious ways.
And most importantly, the number of characters increased. First, meet old friends silly Madison, then a very steep Nevada. And then a couple of main characters literally splits, creating one of the most comical scenes. However, things might be a little funnier, if it is not shown in the trailers.
As a result, virtually every character receives if not a copy, mirror image, which gives even more opportunities for collision types and jokes. Contrasts displayed on the full: the most stupid character gives a brilliant business project, then crush zombies historical sights, the characters compete in the coolness of the rules list.
Authors sometimes rather strange dispense with the pace of events. It may seem that the effect of stalling and the characters are stuck for too long in one place. But every such episode fairly quickly forgotten, as soon it is replaced by a dynamic scene.
gorgeous action
In terms of fights and shootings new "Zombieland" may not be a hit like "Kingsman: The Secret Serviceยป. Yet Fleischer regularly recalls that before shooting commercials and music videos. Even the first scene of the film touches the grotesque cruelty, backed by a typical slow-mo.
And further action pleases diversity. Every encounter with a zombie shot in his own way. By the middle of the film director gets main trump card, and recalls that the operator of the picture appears Chung John-hoon, who was standing behind the camera in the original "Oldboyยป.
The authors give a very long scene without gluing (or, rather, with a hidden installation that does not spoil the perception). It is not as global as in the exchange of fire in the church already said Kingsman, but pleases excellent staging: six characters running around in several rooms, and the camera focuses in turn on individual pairs.
Well, the final battle, as mentioned above, copies the first film, will only increase the scope. There will be zombies, explosions, huge machine and grotesque heroism to the point of comedy, who will receive the title of "zombie-killing of the century."
If you try to make out a new "Zombieland" Seriously, you can find fault and to small inconsistencies, and to the uneven pace of the tape. And also to the fact that the authors have not developed properly and history. This film is almost the same as the first part: with humorous ten years ago and is a very simple story.
But I fell in love with the original just for the ease and the absence of any global plan. And the sequel is happy to relax and meet with familiar characters that are not even really not matured.
Of course, the sequel looks weaker. First of all, because everyone already knows what to expect. He was not surprised by the new approach, not to repeat the brilliant scene with Bill Murray (remember only make it a couple of times), and new characters can not be compared with the former.
"Control shot" - is not a new religion, it is only nostalgia. But this, as it should be: not tortured, as bright and playful, like a meeting of old friends and really missed. Therefore, the possibility for a while back in the year 2009 is worth it to see the new film. It's easy and witty. It is of the zombie comedy need something more?
