"Don't look at them. Just at me." - The Girl With All The Gifts (2016)

[tyrannuspitch]

just finished watching the girl with all the gifts. joining the war on cordyceps on the side of the cordyceps. Melanie Did Nothing Wrong

[the-hot-zone]

after having seen the girl with all the gifts twice, i'm reading the book finally, and i just have to say. why did they take the wildflower scene out? that scene alone encapsulates the major details of the book up to that point. miss justineau's kindness & willingness to go the extra step for the children, but more importantly, the extent to which the children have been deprived of the natural world. the way they know it's the vernal equinox, but not what spring is. melanie not knowing what a branch is. the brilliant shades of color of the flowers that contrast with the concrete-and-metal world they live in. that bit especially would've been a fantastic visual cue, going from scenery with mostly dull colors to the wildflowers. and the significance of unlocking the children's hands so they can touch the flowers... that would've made for excellent imagery, imo.

also the sentences, "There's lots of wild flowers there, and even a few trees. So I went over there, and I just grabbed what I could find. Would have felt like vandalism, before the Breakdown, but the wild flowers are doing okay for themselves these days."

I feel like that bit in italics really fits in neatly with the ending of the narrative, how the fungus takes over in the end & melanie says something along the lines of it being her turn to inherit the world. it's the wildflower's world now just as much as it is the fungus's. that + a pan to a field of wildflowers or even jars of wildflowers put near the mobile lab would've tied up the thematic imagery nicely. to be fair, i'm not sure if the book does the ending differently, but this feel like a poor choice to leave this scene out.

started watching tlou--I'd wanted to play the game first so I could know what they fucked up but I don't think that's gonna happen--and the thing is that the girl with all the gifts does it better.

sorry for being a nerd about OST music but i’ve noticed that a couple of tracks from the third day and the girl with all the gifts have made their way into the white lotus

for some reason i was under the impression that Cordyceps making the jump to humans was a fairly big subgenre of zombie apocalypse fiction in the early 2010s - probably since i read The Girl with All the Gifts when it came out and was aware of The Last of Us by that point through osmosis. so i check wikipedia to see who first came up with the idea and it's literally just those two things lmao

this is also how i found out there was a movie adaptation of tgwatg which seems like it should be embarrassing for either me or its marketing team

was there a plagiarism controversy at the time? i mean "that one mind controlling fungus for ants is creepy, but what if human??" is not that complicated of an idea but the book did come out soon after the massively hyped up game

It’s not over, it’s just not yours anymore. 🔥

The Girl With All The Gifts. An amazing film, I’m sure still better book (promise to read soon lol)

no thoughts only detailed analysis of the girl with all the gifts and logan being unable to work a microwave and simping over his boyfriend for being able to do so side by side in my brain

i'm almost done reading The Girl With All The Gifts and i am very upset about Gallagher

[horrorlesbion]

“At the end, when Melanie is given the choice to die for the sake of a vaccine, she asks the scientist a final question: whether or not she believes Melanie and the other children are alive and conscious. The scientist answers yes, to which Melanie responds, “why should we have to die for you to live?” [...] 

In essence, Melanie chooses to destroy the world rather than give herself to it, something another human character who watches her set the pods ablaze points out. But Melanie powerfully reframes his statement. This isn’t the end of the world, this is just the end of their world.”

Oh man, I’m not a big zombie fan but The Girl With All The Gifts was a very good book, maybe one of my fav zombie books.

Which means I’m nervous to watch the movie
