This still shows
an establishing shot of the mall that the characters choose to live in. Along
with this shot, there is contrapuntal music that gives this scene a bit of a
humorous but eerie side to it. Romero chose to use a shopping mall as the main
location for this film as he tries to tackle the issue of consumerism and
capitalism. Romero’s auteur style shows that in his film he brings aware
different issues in the time the film was made e.g. Racism, Capitalism, and the
Vietnam War. In this film he used the shops and the mall as a ‘safe base’ for the
characters which eventually gets invaded, connoting that shops and shopping
malls seem to be a good idea, but really they’re just a up and coming problem
in America.
