28 Days Later (2002) and 28 Weeks Later (2007)

I don't know what it is about epic zombie movies that people find so appealing. I have never found them to be good entertainment, except perhaps for a few transient moments of shock value. Yet, since the name was famous, I figured I'd give it a whirl. I've seen plenty of bloody shit before (mostly thanks to the internet), so it wasn't so much disgusting as it was socially disturbing.

Of course, a zombie world would be most appealing to people who despise social orderliness. Societal norms and adherence to customs is tacky. You yearn to break free. Here in the zombie world, the braindead dogma of the masses gets converted into what it really represents, a mindless wasting hunger. People are stupid emotional wrecks. You are not. That pedantic Kantian philosophy means nothing because people are not inherently valuable at all. They are merely a small factor of your survival.

Or maybe not. The appeal of the zombiepocalyse might be the artistic license of the Rapture. Everything is fucked so fuck you fucker also die faggot.

Forgettable zombie movie that gives you a blah feeling at the end. Has a British flavor.

The Last of the Mohicans (1992)

Thanks Hulu, now I can watch another really old movie that got bypassed when I was a kid. This is one of those old style films that I don't really understand. How do I interpret this? I see gangs of Injuns killing hundreds of redcoats and collecting their scalps, a scene that probably elicited raucous cheers from the audience.

Okay cool. Next I see a wilderness warrior singlehandedly kill an entire battalion of tomahawk soldiers just to save one white woman. This is totally acceptable because she is the only white woman on the frontier worth procreating with. You've got to understand how important the child bearers are in this society. If that woman dies, everyone is fucked, and the colonialists will go extinct. The Mohicans are proof of that fact. There are only 2 of them left and they're both men! That's why it is ethical to kill 30 Iroquois to save the female. I suppose people find this movie romantic because so many whites have partial native American ethnicity. I find that disgusting. The white man not only took your land but also raped your women. Always remember that, Chief.

Weak story and characters that nobody cares about, but a memorable gore content makes this a good movie in 1992 and a faggoty movie in 2009.
