as far as political commentary, I only took it as an all-out class war. with the poor rising up against those who have held em down for so long. the poor first must go through the middle class then move on to the people who are really in charge, the rich.
like the people in the building were obviously the rich, the rest of the living were the middle class, and the zombies were the poor and homeless. I guess the main characters could be considered the upper-middle-class. so maybe they let em go at the end b/c the upper-middle-class people had a grudge against the rich also.
maybe Romero is calling for a revolution in this country that is strongly based on a class system, even though no one actually calls it that.
but, maybe not... |
