Ideology in Shaun of the Dead

Binary opposites:
Living vs Dead
Adventurous vs Mundane
Change vs Stagnation
Living vs Surviving

Are we really living? Should be content with our lives, what matters is those closest to us
Repetition leads to apathy
In our own bubble

Made by and for Generation X - late 60s until mid 80s

Linear narrative - progression of Shaun - no one else changes as a character
Parody of zombie films so has to follow same chronological order

Fear of technology - Shaun is still a child due to technology
