La recensione di Alfonso Berardinelli sul “Foglio” di oggi di Promemoria occidentale. Oltre l’effimero a cui si è ridotto il giornalismo culturale odierno. Da umile servitore nella vigna della cultura, che nel frattempo ha perso cognizione della vendemmia, il giornalismo culturale è diventato un’appendice del maquillage pubblicitario. Le interviste di Maurizio Cecchetti ci raccontano di un altro punto di vista.

Shaun of the Dead: Humor and Horror

Cleverly blending humor with horror, Shaun of the Dead offers a unique twist on the zombie genre with 29-year-old Shaun stumbling zombie-like through his regular life, not paying attention to the zombie crisis in the background, but shaping up when society falls apart. The film highlights that the real horror lies not in the zombies, but in the lack of purpose and human connection. The film's blend of humor and horror entertains but also makes us think about how we navigate our existence, urging viewers to seek meaning and connection in a seemingly mundane world.

In the book "Zombie Culture," it is noted that while Shaun of the Dead features its share of gore, the humor is primarily character-driven, focusing on verbal and situational comedy (48). Director Edgar Wright explains that the zombies merely set the stage for the protagonists' circumstances: "You could go to the script and replace the word ‘zombies’ with ‘traffic jam’ or ‘power outage’ and it would still make sense (48)." The film's zombies serve as a metaphor for the slacker generation, symbolizing the monotonous and aimless way people navigate their lives. This is demonstrated at the beginning of the film as Shaun goes through his morning routine, tripping on the same curb, visiting the same convenience store, riding the same busy bus, and giving money to the same homeless person, all while passing by zombies which he fails to notice even though some of them are his neighbors!

The morning routine scene begins with close-ups of Shaun's face as he wakes up and goes through his morning ritual. These close-ups focus on his tired eyes, and blank expressions, highlighting his lack of engagement with his surroundings. Also, the use of diegetic sounds, such as the buzzing of an alarm clock, the hum of appliances, or the murmurs of commuters on a bus, enhances the atmosphere of monotony in Shaun's routine. They blend with the visuals so viewers can almost feel the monotony and routine along with Shaun. The zombies serve as a metaphor for the unfeeling and detached nature of modern society. The scene sets up the film's central theme by juxtaposing the living with the undead, both going through the motions without real purpose.

Towards the end of the film, a scene unfolds in Shaun and his friends' favorite pub, which takes on a new significance as they battle the zombies. Here, frantic camera movements are used as the scene unfolds, characterized by quick pans and rapid zooms which convey the urgency and chaos of the situation as Shaun and his friends confront the zombies. The lighting in the pub shifts dramatically as the confrontation escalates. Finally, diegetic sounds, such as the growls and moans of the zombies intensify the scene and contrast sharply with the non-diegetic soundtrack playing over the scene. Together, these cinematic techniques heighten the tension of the scene. This transforms the familiar setting of the pub, once symbolic of their stagnant and unfulfilling lives, into a battleground for survival and meaning. Through the intense action, the film symbolizes Shaun's evolution from an aimless slacker to a determined leader, as he and his friends find purpose amidst chaos, reclaiming their lives in the face of impending doom.

Shaun transforms into a leader

Now let's look at several reviews from when the film was released in 2004.

According to James Berardinelli, Shaun of the Dead "may not be consistently scary (in fact, it's almost never scary), but it is consistently funny (if you have a slightly warped sense of humor) and never loses its audience." He further states, "I won't pretend that Shaun of the Dead is the be-all and end-all of horror comedies. It has plenty of problems, not the least of which is that the horror elements are largely unconvincing (although there is plenty of gore). Shaun of the Dead is a movie that one might not expect to work at first glance, but for those who don't mind a little laughter with their zombies (or perhaps it should be the other way around), this is an unusual source of entertainment” (Berardinelli).

Another review by pluggedin.com was not as positive and states, "Shaun of the Dead is a funny, disgusting movie that hides its sensitive beating heart under gallons of zombie makeup. Although a comedy, the film is no spoof, presenting its flesh-eating undead in horrific detail.“ The reviewer also cautions about the excessive blood in the movie. 

If you haven't seen Shaun of the Dead, I highly recommend it!

Will Grave of the Fireflies make you cry?

There is no sexual content in this movie, no graphic violence or not even bloodshed and gore elements. If you are looking for the things mentioned above, you are probably not an adult; at least not in the department of having a mature taste in feature-length films. This is one of those movies that only the mature can swallow.

Ranked #61 in Berardinelli’s Top 100, this animated title is worth all the hype that has been built around it over the years. I can confidently proclaim this as the best animation film I have ever watched; not even Miyazaki‘s masterpiece  Spirited Away and Shinkai‘s epic  Your Name come close!

James Berardinelli wrote of Mr Brooks (2003) in Reel Views "A curious mix of the campy and the intelligent, of high concept and low psychology. In spite of these contradictions, or perhaps because of them, it works. This is a tense and engaging thriller."

Un momento commovente è stato il ricordo di Fabrizio Frizzi, narrato con emozione da Federico Moccia.

A Blast from the Past of My Childhood - Julia Merolle (Resubmit)

     The most impactful film I watched as a child was Shrek 2. This movie came out a year after I was born but because my parents had the DVD for it, I would watch it on repeat constantly. It was my favorite movie and probably still is one of my favorite movies of all time. In my opinion, it was better than the first Shrek and was a perfect sequel. It also inspired me to go into film, especially because of Far Far Away replicating Hollywood. I knew that I wanted to go into film and movie making in order to make something like this one day. From the soundtrack, to the characters, I can positively say that it is in my top 10 favorite movies.

     When rewatching the film this week, it’s different from what I remembered because I noticed that there are a lot of adult jokes that I missed as a kid. From the big bad wolf, to the catnip drug mention, to the scene with Pinocchio’s underwear where he can’t stop lying, is definitely a lot of things that flew over my head as a kid. In addition to these crude jokes, there is also a lot of pop culture references that I didn’t get when I was a kid besides Far Far Away being Hollywood. I noticed that in the scene where Shrek becomes human and goes to downtown Far Far Away, there are a lot of brand names that are actual brands in real life, yet they are changed to be a parody in a medieval type of version.

     This shows me that individual memories aren’t as reliable about preserving information, especially with so many years in between. Documentary reconstructions, kind of like the movie reviews that were written during the time that the movie came out, are more accurate than my memory when I was a child. For example, Roger Ebert wrote about Shrek 2, saying, "Shrek was so original in its animation and such an outpouring of creative imagination that it blindsided us; Shrek 2 is wonderful in its own way, but more earthbound. It's more fun to see Shrek slay a dragon than to watch him meeting his new in-laws.” (Roger Ebert) This quote from the review relates to the first movie instead of the sequel, which does have a bit more adventure and action in it, however there is a really big scene at the end of Shrek 2 involving Mongo, a giant-scale version and brother of Gingy, the gingerbread man. Another review by James Berardinelli of “Reel Views” states that “Shrek 2 is populated with clever and amusing sequences, parodies, and pop references.” This is something that I stated earlier when rewatching the film as an adult and how I missed these references as a child, since a lot of them were in the background. Lastly, around the time that Shrek 2 came out, which was in May of 2004, I remember my parents talking about a tornado in Nebraska at the same time. A quote from On This Day states, “The U.S. town of Hallam, Nebraska, is wiped out by a powerful F4 tornado that broke a width record at an astounding 2.5 miles wide.” This is a historical event that was personal to me because at the time I remember my parents being worried since we had a family member out in Nebraska traveling for work who was luckily okay. Another event that I do not remember happening as I was really young, was that according to On This Day in May of 2004, “Massachusetts becomes the first U.S. state to legalize same-sex marriage.” This event isn’t really personal to me because I don’t remember this happening, but it was a major turning point for the country.

     In conclusion, it might be important to do historical work like this, both as individuals and collectively so that we don’t misinterpret things that happened a long time ago because the human memory isn’t so reliable. It is better to use documents from that time, like the movie reviews that came out at the time of Shrek 2, rather than my memory of watching the movie when I was a child. This also relates to historical events, which again happened around the same time but the reason I only know of one is because it related to me on a family level.
