A review by martymakesgoodmovies
World War Z: An Oral History of the Zombie War by Max Brooks

2.0

White elephant art. I can see why this turd has tricked people to think it is somehow ‘elevated. It has all  buzzwords: ‘UN’, ‘the economy, ‘politics;’ each chapter ends on a “very serious Theme.” Kinda reminds me of ABC viewers thinking they’re smart for watching Insiders.

Speaking of centrist shit munchers, the old adage ‘scratch a liberal and you’ll find a fascist’ holds true. There’s horseshoe theory, there’s weird Malthusianism over population shit, racist caricatures and even a Palestinian learns the IDF are cool, actually, and secretly look out for Palestinians (speaking of: Leave it to a Zionist to weirdly fetizhes a white Pro apartheid South African).

I can see the vision of the book with the submarine sequence. A genuine spin on the zombie formula that had some tension, verve and felt like a 300 million dollar war movie, with zombies.

Other than that, this repeats the same beats over and over and over. A world weary, worn out Military veteran bemoaning the spineless Bureaucrats/politicians who fucked over their unit. Boring.
 

A boring, reactionary, shit lib, white elephant art. Let’s end this review with, what I think, is the most fucked up quote of the whole book. 

‘How could there be a “white hegemony” when the most dynamic prewar economies were China and India?’

Lucky I like your dad Max!
