John Carpenter takes a look at the vanishing middle class – just as relevant 35 Years Later – and makes one of the simplest, most straightforward, and loopiest social fables. It’s more than a bit silly, but Carpenter is so resourceful with the budget and streamlined with the storytelling.
Something I didn’t get years ago, time and again characters don’t trust each other but work together anyways because it’s the only way a society can improve. Something I still don’t understand, why is the alley fight so long? Am I laughing with the film there or just at it? Also, the score by Carpenter sounds a lot like the band Gorillaz. That kind of makes the film even cooler, and the sound is so similar I have to think the film had an influence.
