This is actually some class filmmaking from Edgar Wright. Earlier in the film he goes to the shop on a regular day, and that guy is just doing a morning jog. Absolutely hilarious this guy is pelting it
Complete genius , all the subtle mundane details like tripping up on the pavement, casually slipping on the blood , getting a little gas on sipping the coke and all the being half-awake ...all good stuff ... and let's not get started on the channel surfing moment .... the Cornetto lads are golden ....
@@alexdevine9713 And you can even see there's no blood like 3 seconds later right before the camera pans to the lack of newspapers. I almost think that was ad lib and they kept it because it was such a good little extra detail.
I've literally watched this like 2 months ago and i was like "Hmm Why don't i Just check it again" and here i am laughing to this cuz i didn't watch it from beginning lol.
I imagine that's cos he's already a zombie. Trundling through life with no real purpose. And later in the film, we see zombies can't distinguish people pretending to be zombies from actual zombies
01:01 Best part is when he’s oblivious to the bloody hand prints on the cooler door, then slips on what’s presumably a pool of blood on the floor. Scene would’ve been better if you could see the pool of blood behind him and blood on his soles when he puts his feet up when he’s watching the telly. Still, I love this scene. 😆😂🤣
Quick addition: in the store, had Shaun known Hindi, he would have heard the radio broadcast claiming "Dead are reanimating as zombies and attacking/infecting living people..."
In the shop, when the music stops (around 1:17) and a man (or reporter?) starts speaking in Hindi,he's reporting that " We interrupt this program ---- we have just received horrific news that the dead are rising from their graves and attacking the living and they are eating---(didn't quite get this bit. possible eating the living)"
Kamna Joshi That's amazing. That the filmmakers chose to do that even though the vast majority of people don't speak Hindi shows how much effort went into it
Looks like a typical morning in modern day London to me. How was he supposed to know they were zombies? Morning commuters look and act exactly the same!
When I' m 13, my English teacher showed me this movie. It didn't have subtitles and I couldn't understand what they say. But it was very hilarious. It is still my favorite zombie movie.
I LOVE THIS MOVIE. The film style is brilliant. This opening sequence is hilarious. The fact that he is so blissfully unaware is such a great concept. hahaha, well done!
@@ZackExplorer28 Late but he is a real reporter and asked Robert Downy Junior (Iron man) about his past on drugs etc in an interview. Downy got upset and left. There should be a clip on youtube.
The song in the food store was in hindi and the warning given in news in the store was also in hindi . It was " mare hue log apne kabro se waapis aakar jindi logo ko kha rahe hai " which ing english means that the dead people are rising from their graves and are eating the living people .
gonna be honest This is honestly what a zombie apocalypse would be like intial murders most of everyone gets away immediately but after that everyday plebs like shaun Just have free reign
I love how he walks to the shop and back in the middle of a Zombie apocalypse and doesn't catch any of the clues: the shopping cart, the broken windshield on the car, the man running away from something, the blood stains on the refrigerator door, the slow zombies and the dead guy in front of his door step. Nowadays, the scene could have been brought to perfection had he been on his smartphone the entire time.
The best part about this, is that it is EXACTLY the same scene as from earlier in the movie before the zombie outbreak. Including details of Shaun stumbling over the pavement and picking the second can of coke. This scene is also shot in one go and from the same angle.
Confident a lot of people would just go about their day, end up in their workplace and wonder "Where is everybody?" while zombies where walking around outside.
This scene is so great that I can't describe ...this shows routine in our life....how we are habitual with our surroundings ....or in another words how we are slave of habits...
honestly it will take me a week to know that the world has endded seeing how I live away from everyone and have my own supplies of crops and wells, Hell I think I'll just know when the internet cuts off and doesn't return since it the only thing I pay for
yeah but live like this for a week and you'll start talking to a chicken and tall grass, thank god VRchat exists.........still I might be a little bit crazy
This scene became so much more hilarious after Covid for me because I did this after my shift 10+ hour shift, going to the store and everything was a mess, so I just left went to another store it wasn't till I was in 2nd store trying to find milk and seeing people fighting over a can. that I asked what was going on...
At 1:25, the shop's radio cuts to an emergency broadcast in Hindi saying: "This is an emergency broadcast. Dead people are rising from their graves and attacking the living. Any attack victims too are turning into zombies...."(rest is too unclear since the sound fades away as Shaun walks further away)
I just realized there's a big mistake... If he almost slipped on a pool of blood or water, there's nothing on his shoes. Also I didn't see either on the floor at the shop 😲
I like it when zombies are slow and relax like that, naive and unwary too, seems like they enjoy every minute of being zombie, you can pretend you are zombie to blend in and remain uneaten 😃, i dont like serious hardworking zombies.
Is no one going to talk about the score. It’s so good, it’s like it’s signaling impending doom (talking about the little surges of the score at the beginning).
