Dawn of the Shaun

Shaun is the protagonist in the romantic-zombie-comedy film, Shaun of the Dead. Shaun is a man who simply struggles to be...a man. He sits on the couch with his unmotivated best friend and plays games day after day. He goes about his daily routine mindlessly and struggles with the same issues everyday. His relationship with his step father is complicated and he struggles to win him over as a father figure. Shaun's relationship with his girlfriend Liz is on the edge because she can see that Shaun is going no where in life, and has yet to prove himself as a man. When the people of the world turn into zombies, Shaun finally takes control for once in his life in order to survive. This captures Liz's attention and she begins to see Shaun may have finally grown up. In the process of "surviving", he also wins over his step fathers' love moments before he loses him. All these tragic events helped mold Shaun from a boy, into a man.
