	day of the dead
		(Amusingly, one of the more obnoxious soldiers, played by Ralph Marrero, is a dead ringer for Stanley Kubrick.) One wishes that Romero had drawn the military men with a bit more subtlety, so that we could relate to their resentment at having to risk their asses rounding up zombies for some half-ass experiments.

		With that in mind, you understand why the soldiers in the film are depicted as hostile thugs; if you read the scientists as film artists and the soldiers as the money guys -- who breathe down your neck demanding "results" -- the movie becomes a rather personal expression of Romero's anger and depression.
