28 Days Later/Film as Nightmare
[ send me this paper ]
A 5 page essay that analyzes the 2002 film 28 Days Later, Fox Searchlight Pictures, directed by Danny Doyle, written by Alex Garland and produced by Andrew Macdonald. The writer argues that this film is a nightmare of the first quality that expresses contemporary Western paranoia in regards to the idea that a new, possibly manufactured, plague could wipe out humanity. While this movie can be taken as a grim prediction of things to come, it can also be seen as an allegorical expression of the Cold War, which suggests a more fortuitous future if humanity manages to keep its head and negotiate, once again, the tricky line between vigilance and paranoia that eventually resulted in victory for the West. Bibliography lists 1 source.
