"Most dreams only last a matter of minutes, even though in our memory they seem to have lasted years. On average, we dream one or two hours a night, and have about 4-7 dreams a night, even if we only remember one. "
Again, how does this relate to the cinema? Although film gets a reputatation as a "passive" art form, the reality could not be further from the truth. The way the brain interprets a dream vs. the way a person experiences a film is about as different from one another as they could possibly be, for the reasons I listed in my previous post.
We definitely need a seperate post for this, and it would be great to hear other folks weigh in on this.

Ugh, what a mess! I live in Milwaukee, and I was fairly insulted that the filmmakers didn't bother to do any research whatsoever on their putative location for the film. It didn't look like it took place in the area and the characters didn't act, look, or sound like locals; it was all just bullshit. When I could ignore location related problems,
Dawn was entertaining enough, but the movie had some serious editing and script problems, and it just wasn't a good zombie movie. What a waste of special effects money.

If you want to explore your World wide crisis=horror movie theory read dance macarbe by stephen king. Its non-fiction and talks about the point you just made plus looks at all aspects of horror stories.

in NOTLD, the undead come out of nowhere, and overwhelms the country as they are poorly understood. fairly quickly, scientists learn how to fight them, and initially it helps, but by Dawn of the Dead, skeptics like the talk show host at the beginning express disbelief that 'zombies' are real and that the dead are returning to life. rebels defy scientists instructions and do not destroy the dead, instead letting them live untreated at the bottom of their building, which continues the spread of the undead. scientists even lament that they could have stopped it 'at the beginning!' but people are reluctant to dispose of the dead in the way they've specified.
