Documentary Response

            In all honesty, I do not watch that many documentaries. I have seen maybe six or seven in my entire life so I did not really know where to go to find one. I went on Netflix though and I looked in the documentary section and found a topic that interested me. Zombies.

            Now why Zombies interested me is because I am a huge horror movie fan, unless there are Zombies in the movie. Zombie usually bore me in horror movies because I find them not that scary and not that creative. When I saw The Truth Behind Zombies by National Geographic I started to wonder why people found Zombies interesting, so I watched it to learn what these people thought about Zombies.

            I actually enjoyed the documentary. I thought it was interesting having a combination of appropriated footage, interviews and images. The transitions between the three combined with the research were a very interesting format for a film to be presented. Normally I only watch narrative films so in was unusual to see a film in this format.

            I thought that the movie was pretty engaging and entertaining. In was interesting to watch a movie that has the complete opposite views as I have when it comes to the topic of Zombies. I never new where the idea of Zombies came from and I never knew what people that enjoyed Zombies thought about them. Even though I still don’t agree with their views, I can comprehend them and I found watching this movie to be a good experience.
