Rules In Surviving Zombieland



When all else fail and an infection was gotten through mad cow disease by eating a hamburger and spread towards humanity turning them into flesh eating undead all you need are survival skills thus you must have rules. 
Rule Number 1: Cardio
Rule Number 2: Double Tap
Rule Number 3: Beware of bathrooms
Rule Number 4: Fasten your seatbelts
This is now the United States of Zombieland.

Zombieland is directed by Ruben Fleisher. This is an action and comedy film about how to outwit those zombies by which the characters make their own rules in surviving the plague. The setting is post apocalyptic led by Jesse Eisenberg as Columbus who travels alone to find his family in Columbus and has a set of rules since he has no friends until he met Tallahase (Woody Harrelson) , also a survivor but he’s journey is to find for Twinkies. The two of them hook up together to find their destination when they’ve met the two sisters Wichita (Emma Stone) and Little Rock (Abigail Breslin) who always out smart the boys who have their rule not to trust anyone else but just the two of them. The sisters’ journey is to go to Pacific Playland, an amusement park where they thought that there are no zombies there. While the four of day decided to stay together they need to rest and they’ve found the house of Bill Murray. Yes, he portrayed himself as zombie but it’s just make- up so that he would blend with the others. He was accidentally killed by Columbus. They enjoyed the night playing board games and find their selves talking about what they miss when America was not yet infested. Columbus became emotional about his son who also was dead. The next morning the girls left and went to the amusement park. They’ve opened the rides and enjoyed a bit but instead it attracted the zombies. They were trapped at this Blast Off, a ride where it would go vertically up and down but Little Rock was able to shot the main switch where they were stuck mid high while zombies try and get them. The boys followed them. Tallahase made a diversion and locked himself in the game booth while Columbus saves them. Ending the movie as Little Rock throws at him a Twinkie and savored the spongy cake.

There are 49 rules but my favorite is Rule Number 32 Enjoy little things this is what Tallahase’s point all throughout the film. By the way the names where changed so not to attach themselves to each other. It’s also one of the rules. The film is dark, gory but at the same time funny and smart. This is one among my favorite zombie films because of how it’s done differently with someone narrating and understanding the important points of life when it was still normal. It’s simple and no complicated characters that needs to do something. One thing more the introduction is wicked with Metallica’s For Whom the Bell Toils background the zombies. I suggest that you watch this if you are a zombie fan. I am.
