left 4 Dead 2:From zOMBIE TO rACISM
Zombie as one of the most popular American culture features has been used and adapted in many famous movies and novels like “Walking Dead” or “World War Z.” According to Wikipedia, Zombies are folkloric undead creatures who consume human flesh and created through the reanimation of a human corpse. Why zombie culture is so popular in America and how does zombie comes from our culture. The region of Zombie can be tracked to 19th centuries. At that time, black slaves were sent to America and those slaves were forced to overwork in the farms with no thought and no freedom just like walking-dead zombies. And these zombies behaviors still happen in our modern society. The Zombie behavior can also be seen in the blatant racism that is evident when white policemen kill unarmed Black citizens. In my adaptation, I will focus on the discussion of racism and how zombies related to the racism.
The topic I want to adapt is also based on Zombie. “Left 4 Dead 2” is one of the most popular and famous zombie survival game in the game history. In the story of Left 4 Dead 2, all the world is the affected by an very dangerous and contagious zombie infection. These infected zombies are all around world. They are very aggressive and have instinct to kill uninfected people. Four unlucky survivors are late for the last rescue helicopter and they have to work together to escape from the zombie world. All the stories happened related to how they survive and escape from the zombie word.
In my opinion, I think music is one of the most successful parts in this game. Music is a big part of the Left 4 Dead experience. It brings suspense to a bad situation, alerts you when something happens, and sends chills down your spine. For instance, when one of the character goes into a dark bathroom or an unknown area in the forest, the background music will change to a very and the atmosphere becomes very strange. In my adaptation I will use many organic music from the game.
Second, I want to create an adaptation related to the relation between four of them. Most of people played this game just for fun. However, I believe that a game can mean more than a game and is able to reflect some society problems. So I am planning to change the setting of some of the characters in the story to build a new conflict. In the game, four of the characters have their The first character is Coach—a black portly high-school football coach. Nick is a a cold and sarcastic gambler. And Rochelle is a low-level production assistant reporting on the evacuation for a local television station. The last guy is a friendly mechanic called Ellis. In my plan, I want Nick to become a prejudiced racist in the story and dislikes Coach who is a black. Nick disagrees to team with Coach due to his ”white Pride.” However, it is impossible to escape form the zombie shopping mall by himself and Nick is almost killed by zombies. However, during the way to escape the mall, Coach saved Nick many times from dilemmas. After these dilemmas, Nick is touched by Coach. Finally, Nick realized how bad racism is and work together with others to success escaping form the shopping mall. In the form of adaptation, I want to take a movie in the game and voice the movie by myself. Using the imaging of the game can better for us to rebuilt and introduce the background of the story. The biggest change in my adaptation will be the word and a new story will be created based on the game map.
The design of zombie comes from the history of the salve trade which is a mistake. The influence of the slave trade has lead to many social problems like racial inequality. Form my adaptation, I want to call on the . In order to stand out my focus, I will give some hints and expression in my movie. For instance, I may add some quotes or slangs in the character conversation and how the attitude and details of conversation changes before and after the change in characters.
Racism is a very serious problem in our society. As a citizen living in a democracy, we should take our response and stand out to face these problems. From my adaptation, I hope more people can think deeply about our country when they are watching these zombie movie and stopping the racism in our society in action.
