Dawn of the Dead (1978)	comment	Dawn of the Dead is the second movie in the Living Dead Series of Zombie Apocalypse films written and directed by George A. Romero. It was first released in 1978, ten years after the first film in the series, Night of the Living Dead. European audiences might better know this film from when it was distributed as Zombi, which itself would receive an unofficial sequel of sorts in Zombi 2, thereby beginning a headache for horror movie buffs and collectors over film name changes and numbering issues.Shortly after the start of a Zombie Apocalypse, a TV news reporter, a helicopter pilot, and two renegade SWAT team members strike out on their own and set up shop in a suburban shopping mall, but eventually find themselves beset by both a growing horde of the undead and a gang of looters.Officially followed by Day of the Dead, and loosely remade in 2004.

Dawn of the Dead (1978) / int_143919ff	comment	Heroic B So D: Roger. After getting nearly bitten by a zombie in one of the trucks, and getting a face full of blood after Peter shoots it, Roger angrily kills a zombie outside the truck himself, and then briefly shuts down babbling about how everything is great until he seemingly snaps back into action. Unfortunately, he comes back from the event a bit wrong, leading to a later Get A Hold Of Yourself Man from Peter as his behavior gets more and more reckless.

Dawn of the Dead (1978) / int_17ce80aa	comment	All There in the Manual: In the Novelization, Tom Savini's knife-wielding biker is named Hatchet (though materials for the movie call him Blades). The book also reveals the last names of many of the main characters. (While the extended version of the film that includes the confrontation with the police officers on the dock includes dialogue where they recognize Stephen as Steve Andrews of WGON Traffic Watch, only the novel reveals that Peter's last name is Washington, while Roger's is DeMarco and Francine's is Parker. Ironically, the scene in the novel where Peter is introduced by Roger to Stephen and Fran is verbatim from the film, it's just that in the novel he introduces him as "Peter Washington," rather than simply Peter as in the film.)

He easily could've survived if he hadn't started shooting at the bikers, all because they were looting the mall which he considered "his" at this point. Also Roger, who ends up getting bitten while they're trying to seal up the mall and have all of its goods to themselves. And many of the marauding bikers. Their decision to breach the mall and steal what's inside leads to many of their number being overwhelmed and devoured by zombies, or killed by Peter

Dawn of the Dead (1978) / int_24321e44	comment	Only Sane Man: Subverted. Roger seems to start out as this. He's as skillful as Peter with a gun, and acts as a peacekeeper between Peter and Stephen, and Peter and Fran, serving as a bridge between the two of them and with Peter and working with the trio through their squabbles, especially as Peter largely views Stephen and Fran as The Load in the beginning. When Fran's pregnancy is revealed, he's the only one, other than Fran, to suggest that maybe the mall isn't the best place for Fran to have a child, and maybe they should get out of there. And while he's a bit reckless after they get to the mall, he keeps it in check in the early goings. But this all gets turned entirely upside down while they're moving the trucks. Roger has a near miss with a zombie and snaps, and after being set up in the earlier part of the film as the coolest and most level-headed of the group, he ends up being the first one to snap, get bitten, and eventually die.

Peter assumes about Fran to be either very delicate or physically sick, having observed her for a few days up until that point. Roger starts making remarks most directly to this trope and remind Peter about her close call with the Hare Krishna zombie... until Stephen reveals that Francine is simply pregnant. She herself quickly proves that she's made from far sturdier things than anyone assumes.

Dawn of the Dead (1978) / int_2bdae2ae	comment	Awesome, but Impractical: The army units outside Philadelphia are seen transporting artillery guns, which could have use against a truly clustered horde, but would be overkill for spread-out wandering zombies that only require one bullet. Past that, while even an indirect hit would neutralize a group of zombies by shredding their bodies, it wouldn't always kill them. In many ways it would make a sweep-and-clear effort much harder, as now you have piles of torn-up torsos and limbs that might conceal still-functioning mouths poised to strike at ankle height. Finally, if the horde is big enough that it requires artillery to deal with, you're very much in Oh, Crap! territory.

Dawn of the Dead (1978) / int_2d4fa515	comment	Ax-Crazy: Wooley, the unhinged racist SWAT cop at the beginning. Played with with Roger. After Peter saves him from getting bitten in the second truck, and Roger gets sprayed in the face with zombie blood, Roger empties his sidearm in the face of a second zombie that breaks the driver's side window of his truck. Then when he's driving to the mall, Roger puts the truck on a collision course with some of the zombies in his path, plowing into them and gleefully laughing as he uses the windshield wipers on the truck to clear blood off the windshield from running them over. After he gets parked, and Peter is waiting for Roger to get into his truck, Roger stops to shoot multiple times at a cluster of zombies between the two cabs instead of getting directly into Peter's truck, over Peter's protests, which almost results in him getting overwhelmed right there. Peter later gives him a strong lecture, which mostly snaps him out of it.

Dawn of the Dead (1978) / int_4ac8b81f	comment	Humans Are the Real Monsters: Most famously, the zombies are an outright satire of mindless consumer culture and "mall drones." Throughout the film, the zombies are handled almost effortlessly; the only danger to humans comes when the living humans get stupid or careless — it's just that humans are more concerned with arguing with each other, engaging in mindless behavior (such as the bikers raiding the mall for things like gold rings and money - utterly useless in a post-apocalyptic world), and otherwise ignoring the problem. There's also the running theme, especially during the early scenes, that living people simply use the undead as an excuse to live out their racist and violent fantasies.

People sniveling about being "human" are shown to be the EXACT reason the zombies are winning. Thus it's no wonder the Scientist has been all but driven mad, why he's screaming "dummies!" at the Dummies that are getting them all killed.

Dawn of the Dead (1978) / int_4f4372e9	comment	Early-Installment Weirdness: As in the first film, the zombies are mostly quiet, only snarling when chasing after prey or eating their victims' flesh. This changes when Stephen becomes a zombie, as he begins to make the ghostly moans that zombies in the later films would use. Also continuing from the original film, this movie has the rare Romero zombie that is actually capable of running. However, they don't pose a threat to Peter, mainly because they are Undead Children.

Zombies acting as a unintentional second line of defense against looters coming in from the outside. On top of that, Peter and Stephen built a fake wall to hide the existence of the service corridor leading to the part of the mall the group took over for their apartment.

The movie's most famous social commentary is that the absent-minded zombies used to be shopping mall customers, but it isn't the only one. The protagonists also get a bit too greedy and view the mall as paradise, and the bikers likewise revel in the mall's material goods a little too much. While the protagonists and the bikers fight over the mall, the zombies are able to take advantage and kill off members of both groups.

Dawn of the Dead (1978) / int_62434fe2	comment	Sanity Slippage: Humanity is collectively losing its mind as society crumbles beneath the pressure of the undead apocalypse, even the alleged "expert" Dr. Rausch is unraveling by the time he makes his last appearance on TV. He's sweaty and disheveled, in contrast to the neat and tidy appearance of Dr. Foster earlier in the film, and has begun to advise that the survivors should feed their dead to the zombies and use nukes on urban centers, and calls everyone who protests "irrational." Also, Roger. After nearly getting bitten by a zombie in the truck he's hot wiring, and having the zombie's blood spray in his face after Peter shoots it through the head when it's right above Roger's face, he snaps, and starts overcompensating for letting a zombie get the drop on him so heavily that he's literally taking pot shots at them as they swarm him, almost getting bitten right then. His single-minded focus on making as many zombies pay as possible for the single zombie almost getting the drop on him causes him to leave behind his necessary back of hot wiring tools in the second truck they've moved. While Peter chews him out and mostly snaps Roger out of it, there are too many zombies around the truck when he goes back to recover the bag, and he gets swarmed by them and ends up bitten. Also, some may make a case that Roger's carefree antics when they're first raiding the department store are a coping mechanism for Roger to keep from losing his mind over the situation and he's treating it as a game to prevent sanity slippage. When he's at the mercy of the zombie in the truck, he can no longer treat the situation as a game, and his sanity slips because of it.

While the bikers' plundering is pretty damn inconvenient for the heroes, it's little different from the protagonists' own earlier ransacking of the mall (plus they only begin attacking Peter and Stephen after the latter idiotically starts shooting at them) and after they are done they get the hell out and move on, which takes the heroes months to bring themselves to do.

The original script played this straight, with Francine also killing herself by jumping into the rotating blades of the helicopter. They decided to eventually change this, since the preceding movie already had a similar "everybody dies" Downer Ending, and the world in the movie is a total Crapsack World anyway. A minor character does this very early on, overwhelmed by the horror of the world he's in.

Dawn of the Dead (1978) / int_7fbb2a3	comment	Nice Job Breaking It, Hero: TV host Sidney Berman seems to mean well, but his bullying and skeptical treatment of Dr. Foster when the latter is providing information that could help stem the panic and slow the spread of the undead... increases the sense of panic and doesn't slow the spread of the undead. After discovering that the second floor of the mall is zombie-free and therefore relatively safe, Peter suggests using the mall keys to unlock the department store's (and other stores') doors on the second floor so they can traverse both floors of the stores and safely avoid the ground floor zombies. Roger suggests using mall muzak to cover up the noise they make, and Peter instead suggests they turn on power to everything, since it's available. Because of this, the escalators turn on, and the ground floor zombies end up either getting caught on it and carried up to the second floor, or having the ability to actually remember how to use it themselves, which ends up turning the previously-safe and zombie-free second floor into a zombie minefield that Roger and Peter have to traverse to get to the department store entrance, and forces them to have to keep going to the ground floor and banging on the doors to draw enough of them down from the second floor so they can move around more safely above. Compounding the escalator issue, due to the sudden influx of zombies on the second floor, not only do Roger and Peter have to commando-style their way to the department store, but Peter has to rush to figure out the complicated locking mechanism of the department store's doors to shut them behind them. Because of this, Roger has to leave his sniping position in order to assist him, they get swarmed, a zombie gets between the doors that prevents Peter from closing them, and Roger ends up losing his valuable M-16 after a zombie latches onto it after he gets distracted trying to pull the other zombie clear of the door so Peter can finally lock it. Stephen gets more and more irritated at the bikers invading "their" mall, and stealing "their" stuff, to the point he opens fire on them. This does nothing but make himself and Peter active targets to the bikers, who initially were just going to loot the mall and leave, and leads to Stephen getting trapped in the department store elevator, wounded, and eventually bitten.

Peter, a black man, pumps him full of lead.

Dawn of the Dead (1978) / int_913f683a	comment	In addition, zombie intelligence is debated by the characters in-universe. When presented with the argument that zombies are capable of using tools, Dr. Millard Rausch counters that animals are capable of using tools as well. He further states that the living dead have no emotions and operate off instinct rather than actual intelligence. That said, the later sequels, such as Day of the Dead (1985) and Land of the Dead, will challenge Rausch's doubt of zombie intelligence.

Dawn of the Dead (1978) / int_9d12bbc1	type	Foreshadowing
Dawn of the Dead (1978) / int_9d12bbc1	comment	Foreshadowing: The one-legged priest's warning to Peter and Roger at the tenement, about how the police and National Guard taking the building will do nothing to stave off the oncoming apocalypse, foreshadows the coming collapse of society, which manifests in the second half of the movie and also in Day of the Dead. Stephen hypothesizes that the zombies invade the shopping mall because they remember the mall as an important place in their old lives. When Stephen becomes a zombie, he is able to recall the route to the survivors' hideout. After the peppy music (La Caccia) we heard when Roger and Peter are successfully placing the first truck at the mall entrance, the music drastically shifts to the ominous opening theme (L'alba dei morti viventi) when Roger and Peter move the second truck. This not only signifies Roger's mental breakdown, but also serves as foreshadowing to him eventually being overwhelmed and bitten because he's not operating at his full skill level and becomes heavily focused on getting revenge against the zombie horde, and taking shots at them when it's not necessary.

Stephen literally fires his revolver repeatedly at a zombie's shadow, using God knows what logic. Subverted by Roger and Peter. As trained SWAT marksmen, they rarely let bullets go to waste, and Roger intervenes twice at the airfield when Stephen is trying, and failing, to kill zombies, taking both down with a single head shot.

Dawn of the Dead (1978) / int_abad35b4	comment	Soundtrack Dissonance: There are numerous scenes of the zombies in the mall stumbling about to shopping muzak, notably the end credits. Also, Peter, Roger, and eventually Stephen all take part in an initial raid of the mall's department store, and shoot zombies and engage in commando tactics against the mob of undead while mall muzak cheerfully plays over many of the action sequences. The peppy mall muzak also plays over the sequence where the survivors have the disgusting task of cleaning up the mall of zombie corpses before they all rot completely and begin stinking up the place. It also plays as they go on the shopping spree as a group. While this in itself isn't dissonance, it becomes as such because they're going on their shopping spree while carting Roger around, and he's slowly dying from the infection of the two bites he took earlier. He visibly looks sick, with dark rings forming around his eyes, and clearly acts as though he's a bit delirious in some of his close-ups, particularly when he's playing the race car game in the arcade.

Dawn of the Dead (1978) / int_b58b4e3c	type	Too Dumb to Live
Dawn of the Dead (1978) / int_b58b4e3c	comment	Too Dumb to Live: Several characters. Most of them do in fact die. The most egregious example being the Mexican bandito biker taking his blood pressure while his friends are getting shot at, eaten, or otherwise leaving the mall and zombies are visibly surrounding him. Also serves as a great Brick Joke. Noticeably, Roger's attitude and reckless actions while barricading the mall leads him getting bitten, which unsurprisingly ends with him turning into a zombie. In his defense, he'd nearly been bitten by a zombie and had clearly mentally snapped as a result of it. After the upbeat tune when moving the first truck, the soundtrack shifts to a repeat of the music from the opening credits, thematically demonstrating that Roger's had a mental break and isn't all there. Stephen definitely trumps Roger in reckless behavior: He shoots at a zombie with a rifle and misses, nearly hitting Peter. He takes the only handgun and runs off to find Peter and Roger in the mall, leaving Fran defenseless when a zombie wanders up. He shoots at the biker gang after Peter warns him not to and, upon retreating, drops his rifle down the elevator shaft. Finally, when he's bitten and dying, he wastes the last few bullets in his handgun warding off his last few attackers and leaves his brain intact so that when he dies, his zombie self still remembers the hidden nest where Peter and Fran are, and brings an army of flesh-eaters right behind him. In fact, him dying and forcing Peter and Fran to flee can all be traced back to the fact that, instead of retreating like Peter told him to, he had to actively go after the bikers. Roger's actions before he's bitten are a result of nearly getting bitten. Stephen is just overcome with greed, and is in full control of his actions. Really, this is the only reason why zombies are a danger in this movie. It's shown repeatedly that if you keep your head on straight, you can easily handle zombies — there are multiple scenes of characters running straight through crowds of the undead or fighting their way free of groups. With their bare hands, no less. Because people are more concerned with acting like idiots (for example, the people who refuse to heed government warnings about how all dead bodies need to be instantly cremated/decapitated/decerebrated, thus leading to things like the infested tenement building at the start of the movie, the bikers casually smashing their way in and leaving a huge opening for zombies to pour through — and even then most of the bikers escape alive, if they haven't been shot), the zombies are able to get the drop on them and, from a large-scale perspective, are able to multiply to threatening levels in the first place. The zombies themselves aren't alive, but they also act with little regard to staying undead, walking right at heavily armed people who can take them down easily. The famous "Helicopter Zombie" climbs some boxes to get to Roger, completely ignoring the whirring blades...

Dawn of the Dead (1978) / int_c95d04f2	type	It Can Think
Dawn of the Dead (1978) / int_c95d04f2	comment	It Can Think: Peter thinks this is the reason why the zombies are wandering around the mall, even though there's no living people there to draw them - they're dimly aware that the mall was important to them in life, even if they can't remember why anymore. The Hare Krishna zombie at first joins his fellow zombies in chasing Stephen and Peter but then goes against mob mentality by turning around and walking to the door from which Stephen first appeared. Because of this, the Hare Krishna zombie is able to go upstairs and find Fran. One zombie picks up a tire iron and uses it to break a truck window when attacking Roger. After Stephen becomes a zombie, he can still recall the path to the survivor's hideout. The zombies later show that they can climb multiple ladders without much issue. They even demonstrate some basic etiquette by lining up and going up the ladders one at a time. In addition, zombie intelligence is debated by the characters in-universe. When presented with the argument that zombies are capable of using tools, Dr. Millard Rausch counters that animals are capable of using tools as well. He further states that the living dead have no emotions and operate off instinct rather than actual intelligence. That said, the later sequels, such as Day of the Dead (1985) and Land of the Dead, will challenge Rausch's doubt of zombie intelligence.

Curiously, he is often identified in reference to the film as "Dr. Milliard Rausch," a name that once used to be on the Internet Movie Database, but has since been changed back to "Scientist." Although some cuts do credit him as Dr. Milliard Rausch, Scientist and the European Cut even has his name said aloud.

Also, the chopper engine would have been shown sputtering and dying after the end credits (thus showing that they wouldn't have survived regardless). Romero changed it after deciding that was just a little too bleak even by his standards.

In fact, this trope applies to large numbers of people in general, with many WGON crew members and even one of their police guards shown quitting the TV station, as well as the deserting policemen at the police dock. It is heavily implied that desertion is becoming rampant, which is one more reason for the deteriorating situation.

He's just as skilled as Peter with a gun, and the early part of the film sets him up as a cool head and peacekeeper between the bickering Peter, Stephen, and Fran. He acts a bit reckless during the first exploration of the mall, but still, effectively shows that he has the skills to handle the zombie outbreak without breaking a sweat. He's easily one of the characters you expect will make it to the end...And then he has a close encounter with a zombie that causes him to snap in the film's second act, and get bitten. He spends the rest of the second act assisting Peter, Stephen and Fran seal up the mall and kill the zombies trapped inside, before finally succumbing to his wounds and being shot after turning into a zombie by Peter at the beginning of the third act.

Dawn of the Dead (1978) / int_e68b72	type	The Load
Dawn of the Dead (1978) / int_e68b72	comment	The Load: Stephen, Francine and Roger all take their turns at various points. Roger starts off well, but the pressure of their situation and a hear miss with a zombie lead him to snap when they're moving the trucks. His antics get him bitten, crippled and ultimately bedridden before he dies. It's partially subverted, however, as Roger, off-screen, is still able to hot wire and place the last two trucks at the mall entrances before he can't walk on his leg anymore. Also, even though he's wounded, through the use of the gardening cart, Roger is still able to assist in the sealing of the mall from the inside, and the killing of the zombies now trapped in the mall's interior. Also, even though a zombie reopens the wound from the zombie bite to his leg, he's able to fight through the pain and drive the car around the mall so Peter and Stephen can quickly lock the doors from the inside. Originally, all Stephen has going for him is his skills as a helicopter pilot, despite his efforts. Francine starts with nothing. However, as Roger's health fails, Stephen is forced to become more proactive and even early on manages to discover the vent system they use to move safely at several points. Francine teaches herself basic shooting and how to fly the helicopter, but since she's increasingly pregnant as the movie progresses, she doesn't take much of a role until the final escape.

A gigantic racist, to boot: he's eager to kill Blacks, Jews, and Puerto Ricans (though not in those terms) before the raid on the tenement begins, and slaughters tenants indiscriminately in said raid. Peter, a black man, pumps him full of lead. A special mention goes to the WGON station manager who's willing to run a scroll of (by now) inoperative rescue stations because, as he puts it, "every minute that those stations aren't on, people won't watch us. They'll tune us out."

Not only does Roger get groped in the face by three different zombies, when he's trapped in the cab of the second truck he's hot-wiring with the third one, Peter is forced to shoot it while it's right over Roger's face, and the blood from the gunshot wound sprays all over Roger's face and some even gets into his open mouth. While he later gets bitten twice, sealing his fate for sure, it's possible that the blood he got in his mouth from the zombie Peter shot may have also infected and eventually turned him, even if he hadn't been bitten.

According to Romero, that means you probably hold a grudge against some part of society, fantasize about being a badass, or want an excuse to run wild in the streets. Also, even if you do manage to find safety, be prepared to spend a good portion of your actual time bored out of your mind, when you're not defending your refuge from other survivors, that is. Oh, and good luck to any public authorities trying to enforce orders to execute all Zombie Infectees; those orders just started a riot in the inner city, whose residents are adding "literally putting our loved ones down like rabid dogs" to their list of reasons not to trust the police.
