Warm Bodies

Simply put, this is a love story between a human and a zombie. This is an absolutely new take on the zombie genre. A brave attempt at looking at the done to death genre in a new way, and it works brilliantly.

All love stories have to have conflict, the conflict could just be internal, within the couple, means the couple keep on meeting or are stuck together, keep on fighting, hating each other, but finally confess their love in the end.

And then there are the other kind of love stories, the older ones, where the opposition is from the family, or society or anyone other than the couple. It’s not about how the couple fall in love, it’s more about how they come together in the end. They fall in love instantly, but something bigger than them keeps them apart till the end.

Warm bodies works on both levels, there is internal and external conflict. As a human and a zombie slowly fall in love, and as three different external sources try to keep them apart. The humans, the zombies and the bonies. 

But all said and done, this is still a romantic film at heart, with thriller and comic elements throughout. Really entertaining. 

And the message here is simple, it’s love that makes us come alive, because as zombies start to fall in love they start to become more human like. Love is the cure for zombieitis as the dead start to come back to life! On me, love doesn't have any effect, instead a good movie accompanied by a few pegs will work wonders. But normal rules don't apply to me, I'm a writer after all.
