28 Years Later: The Bone Temple

Smaller in its scope but 28 years later the bone temple sinks its teeth in its characters and the way they think what being human means.

Ian Nelson seeks the humanity in the infected while sir lord jimmy sees the infected as a wicked doom created by Satan and exploits that to manipulate and murder people.
Spike takes a backseat but I think it makes up for that since jack o connel and Ralph fiennes give great performances and both of them show humanity just in different ways and the ways they differ morally.

I don't know much about the real Jimmy Crystal besides the fact he was and still definitly is a sex offender.
In a way spike is manipulated and groomed but so are the others by sir jimmy crystal to entertain is view of the current world.
Dr ian kelson doesn't view the infected as something uncureable or not human because they are.
They are human, the film uses that compassion to let us connect with Samson, we see some of his memories and in that way the film tells us that we are so soon with giving up on a lot of our fellow people and that even if you think some people aren't worth saving, they in fact are because they have memories and emotions.

Nia decosta directs the film beautifully even if i preffer what Danny boyle did but the cinematography is still great and the performance all around the board are great.

Im glad my first theater experience of the year wasn't fucking Greenland 2.
