ending 28 years later Flip the head of the entire movie. After nearly two hours of fear and pain, the film ends with a high-energy, seemingly left-field action sequence, with nearly every audience grabbing their heads. What exactly is that? What’s the point? Well, obviously, you can explain it as much as you like, but director Danny Boyle and writer Alex Garland do have some ideas on the matter.
In the film, the protagonist Spike leaves his protected home and feeds himself on the mainland. Soon, he is almost knocked down by a zombie, and is saved only by a group of jumpsuit-wearing killers led by Jimmy, the adult boy who opened the film played by Jack O’Connell. You may remember Jimmy as our first encounter with a character on a TV show Small mountains In the early 2000s, the Anger Virus took over Britain. He watched his family die and had to survive on his own since then.
The timing is crucial there because 28 years later Jimmy has purposely mentioned Jimmy Savile, one of the most notorious pedophiles in British history. Savile has been a super popular media figure for decades, working with children to create a blessing series Jim will fix it. But then, after his death in 2011, it was revealed that he was a terrible sex offender, attacking hundreds of minors and adults in his career. In the world 28 years later, However, this public revelation will never happen –28 years‘Opened in 2002, Savile’s crimes were publicly exposed in 2012, so the film comments on history and perception in a very special, very British way.
“He has something to do with pop culture and sportswear, with cricket and honor systems,” Boyle told Business Insider. “In the memory of this part, it’s a little distorted, clinging to things and then recreating them into the image of a follower.”
“He’s a kaleidoscope, not in a fun way,” Garland added. “A creepy, messing up the kaleidoscope.”
So in the movie Jimmy is presented as a fan of Savile, based on his full appearance but never learned the truth about him. This is exactly the twisted point.
“The whole movie, if we can do that, the entire trilogy is somehow reviewing and looking forward,” Garland said. “It’s a good idea to look forward to a better world, trying to create a better world, or trying to build a relationship between the worlds on the basis of the old world, so there’s some kind of contrast or conflict between the two. Looking back at how selective memory is, how selective it is, and how picky it is, and how picky it is, and it’s also misunderstood, and we’re all in an era, which is a totally out of place.”
So history in this universe misunderstood Jimmy Savile, which sets the stage for what is about to happen. “[The ending] Boyle explained to the independents: “It’s about reintroducing evil into a compassionate environment. [of the writing process] Tell me the nature of each movie. He said the first movie was about the nature of family. The second movie is about the nature of evil. ”
