Edgar Wright films are always full of flashy, fun style, but what makes them so memorable is their equal focus on substance. This video looks at how everything in Shaun of the Dead-from supporting characters to the rise of zombies-is designed to enhance character.

    "you ever take a shortcut before?" I love the way that this is a running gag too. Shaun of the dead- Falling over and breaking the fence, Hot Fuzz- Actually jumps the fences however his partner breaks the fence again. A worlds end- The entire fence row breaks. Its like an easter egg whilst being a comedic joke. That is the best part of the directing of these movies.

    "Shaun of the Dead" fires on all cylinders, such a super comedy/horror/satire film-- with excellent script, style, pacing, characters, music, and makeup. Just watched it last weekend again, and it's a joy every time I experience it. (Favorite line = "We're coming to get you, Barbara!" which is a funny nod to Johnny in NOTLD)

    Hey Michael, big fan of yours. What i wanted to say: in your Video about Inglourious Basterds, you did something simple, but genius. In one shot, you pulled IB out of your Blu Ray - shelf. Standing on it's left side were the movies you had done up to that point, on the right side were the ones you intended to do in the near future. You sadly had to change the list, but i loved that idea. My point: would you please name some of the movies you are going to do? Not necessarily all of them, and not in the exact order, but i would like to know some to look forward to. Another thing, i would like to see videos on some older movies, like Casablanca, Gone With The Wind, Frank Capra or Billy Wilder movies; but that's up to you of course. Keep up the great work and more importantly, take care of yourself! You are one of my favorite youtubers and I'm looking forward to anything you'll do.

    Hey! So, the lesson I learned from that moment (which I was excited that people picked up on) is that planning ahead is hard and can change pretty dramatically. Honestly, I haven't had a plan that goes more than one or two movies into the future in a long time. But I am going to get on top of that going into next year, and maybe I can find a way to share that with people when I do. And definitely going to do some older movies soon...Casablanca is one of my favorites...

    Bought John Truby's book because of this channel and I've been taking notes on these very same sections for the past few days - fantastic how this video's arrival is so aligned with what I'm working on now in my own screenplay! Thanks for another amazing video! You're so helpful with your analysis!

    Great work friend. I love Shaun of the Dead. I can't pick a favorite Edgar Wright film. I love Baby Driver for its sycopation and diabetic sound, Scott pilgrim vs. The World for its flashy style and fight scenes, Hot Fuzz is the perfect buddy cop film, and At Worlds End is a perfect culmination of all of Mr. Wright's learning wisdom and knowledge. Also this is true, George A. Romero has personally said that Shaun of the Dead is the only zombie movie to actually replicate what his own movie was about, the people and how they cope and change in a situation. Zombies are just a stand-in for a disaster like floods, fire, virus outbreak, etc.
