I am not a strong lover of films but something evident in many of the movies today has been striking to me. There has been increasing number of movies portraying an outbreak of a disease which transforms people into zombies which attack fellow men. The disease spreads very fast and to survive, the un-infected people begin killing the infected ones. Think of the THE LAST SHIP movie, with all her technology and sophistication!!!!
As much as this is a reflection of capitalism, i have wondered, what is the probability of this actually occurring? The black death or plaque outbreak during the 1500 especially in Asia, and Europe which killed approximate 75 to 200 million people resulting in a collapse of an entire social system - feudalism - is a vivid reminder to me that, it may not just be fiction after all. The Film industry is a reflection of the society and her thoughts. Besides with the potential of weaponizing diseases and gems, and the will and greed especially with capitalization of all spheres of life, the chances of such a fiction materializing is even greater. The percentage of the un-infected people keeps getting smaller, and this makes them more fearful and gives the incentives to them to annihilate the entire world population - the zombies-
I really do not know the world we live any more.....
