Also #feminism win, for once marital infidelity dramatized by the guy drunkenly getting down on his knees in an alley outside a party in front of a woman instead of vice versa.

My 28 years later thoughts

Spoilers ahead

28 years later is not the fear inducing sequel to 28 days later by the use of zombies. Its not a movie where characters are living the apocalypse, its a movie where the characters are living and there is an apocalypse. Their world ended 28 years before, and for so many born later it was always ended. The fear is the fact that death comes for all in different ways. The fact that Spike could protect his mother as much as he could from zombies but lose her to what could be cancer.

The tagline "time didnt heal anything " idnt just about the fact that the rage virus wasnt eradicated, but the fact that humanity didnt better itself. The rest of the world cut the UK off, moving into the future as they went backwards, clinging onto the only future they had. Erik, the NATO soldier, who had an iphone and friends and delivery drivers. Spike who didnt even have the medical equipment to diagnose his mothers illness.

The infected woman giving birth, retaining just enough humanity to bring her daughter into the world with the help of Isla was a beautiful moment. The barebones of humanity, our compassion that makes us better.

For Spike, the apocalypse wasnt the rage virus, it was his father pulling way, cheating on his dying mother. It was coming to terms with life outside the island. It was this coming of age he never chose. So he chose, safety for the baby and then the mainland for himself.

Sir Jimmy, a child forsaken and now grown. His character, its so vague and yet takes shape just enough to let you know he means his unspoken threat. The doctor now mortician, in two words he described the entire feeling of this movie:

Memento Mori. Remember Death.

Hi guys 28 years later spoilers if you care I just really like this movie

Yes I did tear up at it shh BUT! It's such a beautiful movie visually. The calm moments being in a darker, more blue lighted setting while the intense moments being so loud and bright was really nice, and a beautiful mix of both for the fire scene to show Spikes feelings, while it's absolutely not perfect (weird looking props is my biggest complain) I think it's a good continuation!

This is more of a series wide thing but I love how the rage virus just. Works! The infected know basic things, eat, survive, eat, survive. But when they get. Lack of better words vulnerable is the best, because they don't particularly want to eat humans but their hunger is insatiable, I wonder if they know it's wrong, I wonder if it's more like a parasite in that way.

Crazy thing about #healing #recovery Small Victories is when you'll have some shit going on that's like, saying this would involve admitting how you used to be doing. You know? Like hey guys good news I'm gonna change my bedsheets this year

army guy comes home even more unstable than before, ruins marriage, scares his kids during visitation, gets his visitation rights limited, murders the children. i feel like this case has played out so many times the exact same way.

Some women are conditioned to be fragile and weak, and to believe that it's a sin to outperform a man. Her feminism would involve allowing women to be strong.

Some women are expected to be strong at times when they can't. Her feminism would involve reassuring her that it's okay to not be strong.

Some neurodivergent people are raised to believe that they're too stupid to ever amount to anything. Their disability activism would involve reassuring them that they're capable.

Some neurodivergent people are raised to believe that they're smart and gifted, and are expected to live up to impossible standards. Their disability activism would involve allowing them to fail, make mistakes, be stupid, etc.

Some children are constantly reminded "you're the child, I'm the adult" in order to deny their autonomy. Their youth rights activism would involve treating them like an adult at times when they feel ready for it.

Some children are treated like adults in order to justify increased expectations or to downplay abuse against them. Their youth rights activism would involve allowing them to be a child.

There is no one-size-fits-all solution to oppression. Each individual person's experience is different. Whatever trauma is caused by their oppression, the activism should focus on undoing it.
