Warm Bodies and 28 Days Later



When comparing the film 28 Days Later and Warm Bodies, the film takes the perspective of a group trying to survive in a post apocalyptic world.  In this view the zombies, or infected, are viewed as monsters who can be killed without the feeling of remorse otherwise an healthy, non-infected human would be killed or turned into one of the infected.  In Warm Bodies, the perspective of the zombies which gives them more of a human character.  The zombies are more of victims of circumstances that were out of their control and are left doing what they need to survive.  R only eats other humans in order to keep him from being completely dead, which he views as a horrible idea.  Before and after the action of eating the Living, R finds himself disturbed of the act.  This gives the zombies a more survival driven instinct rather that the mindless violence that the zombies in 28 Days Later express.
