I did like miguel but he was really unstable,ud think the soldiers would have learned not to put him in the corral after he let the 1st zombie go that nearly killed rickles,then again they did say there was no one else for the job,he also ran away at the start leaving sarah in a zombie infested city,hes deffo someone u couldnt rely on in that type of situation,ur right he does die a lot earlier in the original script he really goes insane the script but serves more purpose i think. Great big bushy beard! ...Crusty jugglers...Yeah, I like Miguel. That's why I would've finished the job. You've got to put that shit aside and do what has to be done. Yeah, to address the topic, Miguel was indeed dead weight. I understand that he was grappling with a million things at once, in a pressurized situation with no healthy outlets for his mental stress (Except for an honest-to-God, DICK!), and it's easy to get on someone's case over it, but it's definitely not easy to cobble your shit together as an individual in that atmosphere. What could you say to a guy like Miguel to get him set straight? I ain't a friggin' counselor. KA-BLAM.

I loved Miguels Suicide, it was so kick-ass.

Oh wow, that's quite a question you're laying on me, haha. In short I see the commentary mainly focusing on, as I said previously, consumerism. Romero is basically saying that at our core, we're selfish creatures who want, want, want. I mean the scene where the bikers break in to raid the mall, Flyboy says to himself something like "It's ours, we took it". As if our four heroes are any different than the biker gang. The zombies themselves are consumers... they're simply a reflection of ourselves. Romero is saying that Americans are mindless consumers. This is only one facet of what could be interpreted in DAWN. And I did a quick version of that one facet. I wrote a paper on this very subject once, and it was quite in-depth. You've got it backwards--consumerism is just a symptom of selfishness. Try again. And, don't forget my question about who is the main character, and how does he tie into this social commentary.

I'd love to get down and dirty on the whole issue right now, but I'm leaving for a trip tomorrow morning and I gots to get me some sleep. Alright, Tony...I've been waiting almost a week. I want more than just the canned response parrotted by fanboys the world over. Now...gimmie some of that nasty cheese of yours. ;D
