I think it's called like Bub or something.
Yeah.
And that's Day of the Dead in 1985.
And according to John Edgar Browning, by Romero's last film, which is after 9-11, the zombies are the heroes.
Land of the Dead envisions a feudal society in which the extremely wealthy can safely wall themselves off in a city where the poor humans live in squalor.
But everyone outside the city is a zombie.
But there are good zombies and bad zombies, good poor people and bad poor people.
All are motivated by survival and self-defense.
In the eventual uprising against the rich, good people and good zombies survive.
And in the end, try to coexist.
Which is to say that being dead and decomposing, eating the flesh of others, even infecting others you bite with a zombifying disease, are not by themselves enough to be completely dehumanized and morally worthless.
All of the killing of Hollywood zombies are just a matter of self-defense.
They're just ravenous animals.
Once you understand them and know there are good ones and bad ones, you see they have a moral status.
It's not until you get to a zombie from philosophical thought experiments that you find out what kind of creature truly deserves no moral consideration.
Dave, could you talk about what the difference is between a philosophical zombie?
Like you said, they lack consciousness.
Hollywood zombies lack life.
What's the difference between those things?
Dave, if I were a Hollywood director or a screenwriter and I wanted to depict a philosophical zombie in a story or on screen, how would I do that?
