Boobs and the Moral Collapse
I really enjoyed the presentation of the aftermath of the fresh zombie apocalypse. As expected urban areas are abandoned as even the zombies themselves wander off in search of fresh human flesh to consume. The uncomfortable silence of society’s remains hides the possibility of terror in every street corner. It really brings into perspective how much the world as they knew it has changed drastically in the span of a single day, without giving them even the time to digest the gravity of it all. The world of modern man is all but essentially over.
The man is completely insane. The way he talks and the things he says he’s done are proof enough of how the horrors of zombieland has pushed a man beyond sanity and, in this case, beyond human morals. With society in disarray he submits himself to his baser instincts and desires when there are no longer any restraints to his Id. His mental collapse arguably contributed much to how he’s now pretty much a carnal-seeking existence, but at some point he must have convinced himself that it’s a zombie eat zombie world, and that every man’s survival entails getting what you want and need without regard for the other guy. If someone’s going to be zombie food, it should be the other guy, and he might as well get what he wants in the process. Without society’s rules and morals, he feels free to do what he wants, since no one’s left to tell right from wrong.
But again, even if there’s no one else, does that make him right? I guess that’s up to the viewer to decide.
In a way he represents those who have lost themselves in the madness of chaos. When rule of law is no longer enforced, there those who lose themselves in the maddening freedom for depravity (this guy) and those who find it an opportunity to enact their grandiose dreams (Shidou). Thus, in relation to the main cast, we see both the goodness and the madness of society in times of great trial.
