To be a zombie, on the other hand, is to have lost touch with what makes each of us human: our extraordinary capability to love, have hope, and dream of a better tomorrow. To be a human in this new world is complicated it is as full of death, loss, bitterness, and loneliness as much as it has the potential to be full of life, happiness, hope, and love. In the world of Warm Bodies, there are three ways to exist: as a human, as a zombie, or as a boney. While Romeo and Juliet might overestimate the power of fate or random chance and equate love with death, this initial monologue by R (Nicholas Hoult) conversely sets the stage for the ensuing thematic meaning throughout Warm Bodies - that both love and hope are, rather, something life-affirming and that to choose to love or to have hope is world changing. Warm Bodies differs though from the tragic romance of Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet in its approach to love, hope, and happily ever afters. Written and directed by Jonathan Levine, and based on the book by Isaac Marion, the film is one part paranormal romance and one part zombie comedy with a dash of Shakespearean inspiration. These are the first words spoken in the 2013 film Warm Bodies.
Why can’t I connect with people? Oh, right, it’s because I’m dead.” What’s wrong with me? I just want to connect. People would respect me more if I stood up straighter. “What am I doing with my life? I’m so pale.
