This shot is from the
security cameras point of view. Despite everything that is going on at this
point of the movie, having all that power and money, seems to make the
characters happy. This shows the influence of George Romero as an auteur.
George Romero believed that the world during the 1970s, everyone was being
brainwashed by fame, fortune and brands. This is reflected in the film by the
swarm of zombies flocking to the shopping mall as a natural instinct. Also the
thought of a black good guy as frowned upon during this time. George Romero
believed that everyone should be treated the same and used the Peter, the black
guy, as one of the main character who survives at the end. If black people ever
were in a stereotypical horror/action film, you could be pretty sure that they
would be the one to die first or at some point in the movie, whereas peter is
perceived as the male hero in the film.
