film analysis (Sean of the dead) - Todorov Theory

For this text i will be looking at the text 'Sean of the dead'. this is a rom com horror film Dawn of the Dead, released in 2004. 

Throughout equilibrium films they're are usually five stages of the equilibrium.
Applying Todorovs theory the film starts off in the unity, introducing the lives of the main characters and their everyday normal state. The relationships of the characters are disrupted but the film is still at a stable, calm state. This unity is then disrupted by the impact of a deadly disease that has entered the village but hasn't been fully recognised by the civilians. The main character acts as the protagonist and the recognition of the disruption has been found. With the unity of the people, they all come together with the scarce and threat they're under and all work together to try and get somewhere safe. With them all safe in one building, they go under attack again and they fight their way to save themselves. This is an attempt to repair the disruption, the protagonist tries to fight against them and save the group to resolve the issued events. The equilibrium is then restored and the film then goes back to the normality at the start, showing the unity even more so with their lives and connecting them together again with their scarred but restored lives in harmony again.
