Thoughts : Shaun of the Dead (2004)

These days, everyone knows that Edgar Wright is a master behind the camera and in the editing room.  His sense of humor, his ability to curate amazing soundtracks, and his pop culture knowledge put him in the same conversation as the likes of Quentin Tarantino and P.T. Anderson.  He wasn’t always a household name though... the film that started his trend upwards, however, was most definitely Shaun of the Dead. 

An homage to the George Romero realm of zombie films, Shaun of the Dead is simultaneously a reflection on modern day life, love and responsibilities.  Our titular character is dealing with a series of strained relationships : his girlfriend is leaving him, his relationship with his parents is rocky, and his best friend is causing tension with his roommate.  Then, to add a cherry on top of everything, a zombie outbreak occurs.

When I first saw this film, I was not familiar with Wright’s previous television work on Look Around You and Spaced (the original project connected him with longtime collaborators Simon Pegg and Nick Frost).  Therefore, I was not used to Wright’s presentation of visual humor and his rhythmic editing style.  I knew that something about Shaun of the Dead was drawing me in, but I couldn’t put a finger on it.  It was not until the brilliant Scott Pilgrim vs. The World that I truly understood what he was doing, which has since enriched the subsequent viewings of this movie due to familiarity with is directing language.

Pegg and Frost managed to bring their wonderful chemistry from Spaced into this project without missing a beat, providing many much-needed laughs to provide a proper foundation.  Kate Ashfield is absolutely charming, and her film roommates Lucy Davis and Dylan Moran provide pitch perfect commentary on the goings-on of the movie world.  A number of entertaining guest appearances stand out, including Penelope Wilton and Bill Nighy as Shaun’s mother and stepfather, Spaced-alumni Jessica Stevenson and Julia Deakin showing up with another group of survivors (one that contains Martin Freeman as well), and Peter Serafinowicz essentially playing an evolved role of his iconic Spaced character. 

When it comes right down to it, this is one of the most enjoyable films you will ever encounter, despite the fact that it contains a small handful of gut-wrenching moments.  The humor never seems misplaced, the kinetic presentation style alone will keep you enthralled, and the constant barrage of odes and homage only further how enjoyable the experience is.  The film, on top of everything else, also managed to kick off the Three Flavours Cornetto trilogy, a grouping of the three films that Wright, Pegg and Frost collaborated on.  If all directors debuted in this fashion, the world of film would be the most remarkable place.

Happy 20th #Spaced. I discovered your brilliance 16 years ago, cutting a meh zombie comedy. I connected with you instantly. The double tap of episodes 3 & 4 from season 1 cemented you as my favorite show. Never have I felt so connected to material, and so stunned by the directing / writing / editing of a television show. I still play “S’il Vu Plait” when I’m having an exceptionally good day. . Years later I traded in my torrented DVR’s for the American released DVDs. Simon Pegg, Edgar Wright and Jessica Hynes came to the states, screening episodes and taking questions. Pegg and Hynes were sweet enough to chat for 20 minutes (I was about to start writing a pilot for FX, and had a million questions). I was too frightened to talk to Wright, as a director I was so in awe of how he shot that show. I did get to have a great chat with him years later, trying to get Scott Pilgrim to play it’s NYC midnight debut. . . If you haven’t seen it, hunt it down. It’s brilliant. Grab your Gillian Anderson FHMs, some Jaffa cakes and a chocolate beanie, and throw some moves in the church of Spaced. You lucky people. . . @edgarwright #simonpegg @friedgold #jessicahynes #markheap #juliadeakin #katycarmichael #spaced #bbc #nirapark #digitalart #procreate #ipadrpo #illustrator #illustration #art #tv #show #comedy #fanart #blackandwhite #20thanniversary https://www.instagram.com/p/B2zfCROhx5r/?igshid=1koq4qjntk1s7
