Horror and Humanism in "28 Years Later"

from The Pop Culture Professors · host Stephen Dyson and Jeff Dudas

We break down the themes and ideas in 28 Years Later, with a particular focus on the politics of this Danny Boyle / Alex Garland sequel to 28 Days Later. We react to the humanitarianism of Dr. Kelson, the role of the islands within the movie, and analyze the visions of family, fatherhood, and masculinity presented. We explain the controversial ending to the movie, and consider the extent to which the movie is commenting on Britain past, present, and future. We begin, though, with a review of the film.
