Warm Bodies and 28 Days Later

In Warm Bodies and 28 Days Later neither of the main characters knows how his world ended. Both are physically incapable of remembering; one was in a coma in the hospital and the other cannot remember anything before his death. It is interesting that neither of them show a strong interest in discovering what the exact cause was. R says that it does not matter; it could have been many things but all that matters is that it happened. While Jim does look at newspapers, he does not verbally inquire about what happened from Selena or Mark when he meets them. Both men are focused on what is happening in the “here and now” rather than what happened in the past. They are looking for solutions and ways to make the world a better place. Although one is living and one is a zombie, Jim and R gain a similar idea of hope for themselves and their world as the storylines unfold.
