Sometimes, when a film is so different, a (social) comment is made unintentionally. In most cases it causes publicity and I think most filmmakers would sit back and let the ball roll. Many conversations were made because of the different way NOTLD was cast and written. Romero is a genius, but I really think he was only making a horror movie the best way he could with very little money. And he did a great job!

NOTLD was groundbreaking, in that its main character (as Romero claims) was cast in spite of rather than because of his race. From a casting perspective alone, that's noteworthy ...I find that far more interesting than the topic of what the film later evolved into.......

A very interesting angle, I suppose, is a discussion of how "there" the commentary is in the first place, since opinions are so widely varied. Hey, it's a thought-provoking movie.

And to think, to a lot of people, it's just dead people eating guts.

i think it's fair to say ...
that the one simple message that comes naturally - is at the end of the world .. we are all equal .. at least judged by our actions .. not our status.

nothing new, you see it time and time again in apocalyptic films.

the Duane Jones character was assuming a leadership roll because he was a man of actions ... the father clearly had a problem with it ..

i think the biggest prejudice in the movie was between the living and the dead.

They were probably making a social comment about the deep racial hatred living people have against flesh eating dead ones.

Why does it always have to be a dead/living thing?

Cant we all just get along?

i'd really like to .. if they could just learn to be satisfied with licking, rather than biting ... everybody would be happy.

You cant expect that much from a zombie. They have it hard, you know, with the brain-rot and all. We must learn to give and not ask for much in return. Granted, i realise that once a zombie has gotten a finger, they generally try to make off with your arm, but be understanding. Im not saying let them have ALL of tyour fingers, just a couple, to let them know you care.


Only the living can stop the hate. All the dead have tried to do is eat us, and can any of us honestly say we have never told anyone "Eat me"?
