Today UK is leading the way towards apocalypse when it comes to stupid, ageist child-safety bullshit. And the 2025 Danny Boyle's film 28 Years Later is secretly about that motherfucking thing.

On the surface Alex Garland's script is a survival story that unsurprisingly also somehow involves the military. This motherfucker can't stop jerking off to soldiers, I gonna tell you that. But the core of that film is Alfie Williams's amazing 12 year old hero of a man named Spike.

The film bashes you in the head with the fact the Spike is a fucking 12 year old, and that he is too young even in the world this movie takes place for the stuff that he is about to do. It soothes your ageist preconceptions of children with a whole section of the movie where Spike and his father ( Aaron Taylor-Johnson ) go though a fucking zombie adventure, which is designed to show Spike as "not ready" or something.

And then in a stroke of absolute genius, it flips the whole fucking table in your ageist face, making Spike the hero of the story. Making this 12 year old "too young" motherfucker be the man that deserves all of your attention. It even plays with some nasty psycho-sexual bullshit with his mother ( Jodie Comer ) calling him "father" or some creepy shit like that.

These motherfuckers knew what they were doing.

The zombies in this movie aren't dead-looking people with torn clothes slowly walking around. Those are naked rotting assholes with dinging penises and tits. Some nasty, nasty shit. Yet in the same time it is kind of psycho-sexual from a certain perspective. And where are those zombies? They are of course all around the motherfucking 12 year old "too young" for that shit Spike.

The penis dangling "alpha" zombies, dangling their penises in front of of Spike. The tits dangling pregnant lady zombie, gives birth out of her zombie cunt right in front of "too young" for this shit Spike.

And then there is Erik ( Edvin Ryding ). A military guy from Sweden that shows us that this zombie bullshit is happening only in UK. The whole point of this character is to make you, the audience, think about the UK as something apocalyptic. While other places are not, or at least not yet, apocalyptic.

But what the hell is happening in UK that maybe the filmmakers are trying to point to? Could it be something related to people dangling their penises in front of 12 year old boys? Oh... shit... There is something like that. There is a whole new set of "protect the children" laws that slowly turning the UK into a wasteland. Laws that make no reason or sense to exist, justified by straight forward bigotry, wrapped in a soothing emotional manipulation wrapping paper.

If they wanted to agree with the ageist politicians, they would have made it so Spike dies in the wasteland. They would have made it so when Spike sees a zombie dangling his penis in front of him, he gets immediate trauma and becomes his mom in the film. But instead these experiences in the film don't seem to do much at all. Rather than maybe help Spike actually grow up a little and become a man.

Maybe the message is, to become a man, to become a nation of grown ass people who know what they do, they have to be able to look at dangling penises. They have to be able to access information about the world. If they don't they become the kids in a fucking beginning of the movie, those poor motherfuckers that watch creepy ass children's cartoons. And then are way too ignorant, to do anything about the world.

Maybe the movie warns us that UK is leading the way with their ageist bullshit into a kind of political apocalypse.

But then what the hell is the role of the doctor character? What was Ralph Fiennes hired for? Simple emotional stuff? Or was it a sort of conclusion to the journey of the boy, to become a man? A sort of conclusion to the psycho-sexual creepy relationship he had with his mother. His mother helps give birth to this zombie baby that is not a zombie. We see the baby falling, in glorious detail, out of the zombie's pussy right into her hands. Right in front of the 12 year old, too young for this shit Spike. And then comes the doctor. And who comes out. Spike. The father of the baby. A baby he, in some stupid ass strange way, had with his own mother.

Or maybe Garland and Boyle just wanted to fuck with the audience. I don't know.

Happy Hacking!!!

[icon reviews]Nosferatu (1922) Is Not Scary

Horror and thrillers seem to be quite ubiquitous in recent times. Nosferatu, a classic from 1920s cinema, has spawned a lot of recreations, making it modern. Yet they fail to see Nosferatu is not horror... at least not in the way the term is usually used.

[icon reviews]What is the meaning of "The Lovely Bones" 2009 by Peter Jackson?

In my review of Transformers 4 I touched upon the uncanny resemblance of it to Peter Jackson's The Lovely Bones. I have not seen the movie when I did that. I knew it existed. I knew what it was about. I've only seen it now, for the first time. And the uncanny resemblance ( as in, the father is played once again by Mark Wahlberg and the villain is played once again by Stanley Tucci and we have Steven Spielberg's involvement ) is rather strange. It begs a rather profound question, what was the point to make the movie?
