The intense loneliness of Day of The Dead. A film with a few but very stereotypical cast. The cast consists of an independent female leader‚ a crazy doctor‚ a lazy happy Jamaican‚ a drunk Irish‚ and a group of angry gung ho soldiers looking for an excuse to kill the scientists. From the very beginning everything is empty. The whole town is quiet and the heroin goes out to look for any survivors with a friend. The words of hello Echo through the town but no one reply’s. This goes on for about nine

Also it continues with the ideas left off in Day with Bub and picked up here by the zombie "Big Daddy" played by Eugene Clark‚ a zombie that not only exhibits intelligence. But also a

Rosencrantz and Guildenstern Are Dead A tragic hero is a person of a higher class that experiences a fall from greatness. Tom Stoppard’s play‚ Rosencrantz and Guildenstern Are Dead‚ displays two characters‚ R and G‚ who are clearly not tragic heroes.
