Zombies. Those green, smelly, decaying bodies that scrabble around and eat brains in every apocalypse movie. They are feared and despised by many, but can zombies ever be loved? In Isaac Marion's Warm Bodies, a plague has infected millions of people, leaving them half alive and half dead and forcing those who were not infected into hiding. Typical Zombies; bite and infect humans, creating more zombies. The zombie protagonist, R, is not the stereotypical zombie. Unlike his friends, R has feelings and emotions and would rather listen to music than eat meat. He cares for others, especially Julie, a human girl he saves and protects from infection. At first, Julie is disgusted and confused by him, but R falls in love anyway and soon Julie's harsh thoughts towards R change. Together they change the meaning of the undead. They are the only hope in their dying world. In Warm Bodies by Isaac Marion, also an important film, the author of the book and the director of the film incorporate many similarities and differences, through the setting, characters and plot, which leave a great impact on the story, both good. and bad. In both the book and the film, the airport, R's plane, and the stadium are all very important settings. In the book, R's home is the airport. He and his zombie friends hang around, riding on broken conveyor belts and escalators. R even has his own plane. This plane is where R holds Julie captive: "I lead her to gate 12, down the boarding tunnel and into my house: a 747 commercial jet" (21). Julie sits in silence for hours, staring out the window and then surveying the collection of R records and souvenirs scattered around the plane. In the film, the director does a fantastic job recreating the ariap...... center of the card ......k, the surprise, the anger or the joy. Viewers are left satisfied or frustrated with all the changes made. The similarities allow readers to see the best scenes in the book. They are able to compare their imagination with what is depicted on the screen. Isaac Marion's Warm Bodies is exceptionally represented in film; including settings, characters and plot. Personally I like and prefer the book more. The book was more emotional, dramatic and shocking. Even though the movie was more visual and was also shocking, in the end the viewers are left with unnecessary joy and happiness. The film leaves out General Grigio's death, which is one of the most important scenes in the book. In Warm Bodies, the settings and characters remain mostly the same and although much of the plot is different, the film leaves viewers with the same response as readers; zombies can be loved.
