“A lot of modern life is exactly like slaughtering zombies.” This statement is true in the eyes of Chuck Klosterman, where he expresses opinions in his article “My Zombie, Myself: Why Modern Life Feels Rather Undead”. In correlation, to the movie Warm Bodies directed by Jonathan Levine one can see that there are many things that we can relate to in modern life that can also be seen in a zombie apocalypse world. For example, in both worlds you can see that once we adapt to our daily lives of work, school, invasion of zombies, and disease, we end up developing a predictable routine in life, no matter the situation. All in all, I believe that there are similarities in a zombie flesh eating world and in the modern world we live in today, we ourselves

As seen in the movie, the zombie population is getting bigger and bigger every day because they would never find the root of the problem of why humans became zombies and see if they can find a cure, they just see zombies and adapt to killing them, when really that it isn’t the solution. Finally, R and Jules are able to see that the zombies do have a cure and it’s very simple, no need for a complex cure, all they needed was love. This can also reflect in our world today, if all we do is push aside our obstacles in life and not find the root of our problems, they will end up coming back into our lives in one way or another, but if we find the root we can achieve many great thing in life and learn from our obstacles. For example, Klosterman finishes his article by saying, “The zombies you kill today will merely be replaced by the zombies of tomorrow. But you can do this, my friend. It’s disenchanting, but it’s not difficult. Keep your finger on the trigger. Continue the termination. Don’t stop believing. Don’t stop deleting. Return your voice mails and nod your agreements. This is the zombies’ world, and we just live in it. But we can live better.” What I take primarily from this quote is that we can live better and most importantly we can be better.

In and of itself, humans take many things for granted, and conform themselves with their lives and do not see that it’s a blessing to live to see another day, and enjoying our moments with our loved ones. Then when it is all taken away from us we truly realize how blessed we were. As a final point, many of these modern-day situations do interrelate with warm bodies and the world of zombies, I believe that, that’s the reason why we have a such a big fascination with zombies because in some way we carry the characteristics of zombies, alienation, hope for a better life, and then we have our human side, the side where we neglect our situations and put them under the rug until they pile up and become deadly toxic for our lives. It all matters on how we choose to see our life, we can either see them as deadly rotting zombies, or we can see them as zombies that used to be humans and show them some
