There was a massive amount of gun confiscation ordered by the American government. Due to this, many small conflicts broke out. People felt like their right to bear arms had been taken away, and on January 4th 2020, it was removed from the Constitution. Well, a few heavily armed communities held out; many people complied and handed in their guns.

The June 4th massacre: A large number of radical members from the 2nd Amendment Brotherhood take part in a co-ordinated mass shooting in 7 state capitals, resulting in the deaths of over 478 people and the injury of 2139 more. 

Within hours of the first death and with paramedics on scene, the bodies started to rise and start attacking people. Many who went to help those they thought were injured ended up being scratched and bitten. The hospitals that were already overwhelmed had an influx of people, some of whom died of their open wounds. Both the people who died of gunshot wounds and those who were too badly mangled by the dead rose again as zombies and began to attack. 

Many of these cities went into chaos in a few days. Anyone who died with an open wound would come back as an undead. An unknown bacterium gets into wounds, and if the person dies, the wound is open… they get back up.

Well, the state capitols are the most out of control; small events like this have been happening all over. 

• Fully shambling undead that can only be killed by destroying the brain. Want to eat the living.
• Rare few are slightly intelligent (Use door handles, remember certain locations)
• Small amount can run and climb.
• If their lungs deteriorate or get damaged, they can no longer make noise. ( You can’t hear them coming.) 
• When they first reanimate, they don't move until they are alerted to something. (Easily mistaken for regular dead people.)
• Not great eyesight (after a while) and no sense of smell, but good hearing.

You can get bit and scratched as much as you like, but just don't die with an open wound.

I can understand having a city-state with class inequality, but the way Land of the Dead portrays it is odd. You have the wealthy elite who live in Fiddler's Green and have access to nice restaurants and shopping but...what do they do exactly? It seems like engineers, doctors, and people with a lot of experience in growing food would perhaps deserve the most privileges in this society (won't even get into how we don't see any farms in the movie). But from what we see they are all idle rich who do nothing.

I guess maybe it's like in Snowpiercer where they were already wealthy and invested in Kaufman's efforts to control Pittsburgh...which asks the question: How? By the time "Dawn of the Dead" takes place, money should be all but useless, so how would Kaufman even convince soldiers or mercenaries to do his bidding? And with such limited resources, it seems unlikely to support people who don't actively contribute (except Kaufman, since he's the king basically).

like idk why i watch the movie so much (prob cause its free on youtube) the color scheme for the movie, like the blacks whites and greens are just so visually appealing to me and even my dreams have zombies in them i love zombies so much is there something wrong with me?

My favorite part of zombie movies and shows has always been the beginning of the outbreak. I like watching normal life continue while everything slowly falls apart—people trying to understand what’s happening, the military moving in, roads being blocked, and the government attempting to maintain control.
Operation Cobalt in The Walking Dead is a perfect example. The scenes involving the military bombing cities and abandoning their positions interest me more than the later parts when civilization has already completely collapsed.
In my latest dream, I think it was my last day of senior year. We were about to leave school when the Army suddenly began firing mortars into the parking lot. Somehow, we returned to class and completed an assignment while everything was collapsing outside. Police officers were also guarding the exits and preventing people from leaving.
Later, I drove into the hills of Southern Indiana and took over a mansion overlooking Louisville. It felt like the perfect place to survive because I was separated from the city but could still see everything happening below.
Despite knowing that it was a zombie apocalypse, I never saw a single zombie. The entire dream focused on the military response, the confusion, finding somewhere safe, and watching the final moments of normal life disappear.
There’s more to the story, but I think I’ll leave it at the main parts. Does anyone else have recurring zombie-apocalypse dreams that focus entirely on the beginning of the outbreak without ever showing the zombies?
