"Cultural Verisimilitude"

  • Samuel Taylor Coleridge - 1817 - "Suspension of Disbelief"
  • How do themes in the film and plot action speak to what was going on in 1968?

Absurdism

Absurdism is the philosophical theory that existence in general is absurd. This implies that the world lacks meaning or a higher purpose and is not fully intelligible by reason.

Cannibalism as Allegory?!

1968 - Tumult in the US and the World

“My stories are about humans and how they react, or fail to react, or react stupidly. I'm pointing the finger at us, not at the zombies. I try to respect and sympathize with the zombies as much as possible.”
― George A. Romero
