Recently I watched Shaun of the Dead again. Michelle had yet to see it, so I thought it would be nice for her to check it out. She really enjoyed it.

During this maybe third or fourth viewing I began to realize just how clever the social commentary is, on a few levels. One of which is simply, through routine and repetition in our daily lives we kind of already are zombies. Secondly, the fact that we are all kind of oblivious to the goings on in our world. If there were some zombie infestation, just how many of us would know it right away? The last thing I feel a personal connection to is Shaun's need to have to break out of his routine. This happens but only under extreme circumstances, and that shouldn't have to be the case. Just realize the need for change.
