One thing you said that Romero’s zombie films are serious pictures, that’s not accurate. In Dawn and Day there are a few moments of comic relief, in fact almost all his films have moments where you can breathe easy and laugh at the stuff you’re watching. A more gritty, serious zombie movie would be those of Lucio Fulci - which are very surrealistic. Romero tries to capture the social conflicts and moralistic values of the times, he applies that as a theme in a very liberalistic way. Now here’s the thing, you may not care about it now because you’re living in these times and you hear this stuff on the radio and television and blogs, and it’s just everywhere. Wait ten more years, when these social issues become ancient and other issues arise. [/quote]
I didn’t mean to say Romero movies have absolutely no humor. Even the darkest of movies have their lighter moments. On the whole Romero’s movies are anything but comedy. Like you said he’s going for social commentary. I’ve never really been a big fan of his social commentary not because I’m desensitized by all the stuff I see, hear, and read but because Romero spoon feeds it to the audience like we’re retarded 8 year olds. The man lacks subtlety is all.

In the case of Romero, he is not a man who makes movies for people who don’t like to think.

I think he’s exactly that kind of director. His movies are only smart, deep and insightful when compared to other Zombie movies.

A drawing is something you put on a paper. An old Mickey Mouse cartoon is comprised of many drawings. CGI are Computer GENERATED images. They go from lab to lab with tech nerds who make the whole process work. Just look at George Lucas and the race sequence in Phantom Menace. The people who created it saw the Ben Hur race and based the sequence on that.

Yeah, but it still requires a PERSON with significant artistic skills. Creating a CGI anything is about the same as building it for real you’re just using different tools on different material. It’s not like the director types in “make me a really cool space ship race” and the computer just does it for him.
