- made up character -


‘I've never made up a character. In my films, I make copies of my friends.’
(Yasujiro Ozu)

- symbolism of vav character - 

1. Vav is a picture of Man

Since Vav represents the number six, it has long been associated as the number of man in the Jewish tradition:

- Man was created on the sixth day
- Man works for six days - the realm of the chol and the mundane
- There are six millennia before the coming of the Mashiach
- The "beast" is identified as the "number of a man" - 666 (Rev 13:18)

2. Vav as the Belly of the Torah

An oversized Vav marks the "center" of the entire Torah (Leviticus 11:42):

3. The Mystery of Vav

The first Vav in the Torah occurs in Genesis 1:1:

The placement of the Vav suggests two of its essential connective powers:

- By joining heaven and earth it implies the connection between spiritual and earthly matters.
- Since it occurs as the 22nd letter in the Torah attached to the sixth word, it alludes to the creative connection between all of the letters. Vav is therefore the connecting force of the God, the divine "hook" that binds together heaven and earth.

- nature vs character -

"Macbeth shall never vanquish'd be until

 Great Birnam wood to high Dunsinane hill
 Shall come against him." 

 (Shakespeare: Macbeth)

The moving trees in Macbeth symbolize restoring of natural order. In philosophy, the natural order is the moral source from which natural law seeks to derive its authority. It encompasses the natural relations of beings to one another, in the absence of law, which natural law attempts to reinforce.

In contrast, divine law seeks authority from God, and positive law seeks authority from government.

Other names to refer to the same thing as for natural order include "ordered anarchy," "private property anarchism," "anarcho-capitalism," "autogovernment," "private law society," and "pure capitalism."

- zombie character and social action -

Zombie character has found its place in social and political activism.

Some zombie fans were inspired to use film tradition as a social commentary. They started to organize zombie walks, which are primarily promoted through word of mouth. Usually they are arranged as a sort of surrealist performance art but occasionally they transform to some kind of political protest.

The earliest zombie walk on record was held on August 19, 2001 in Sacramento, California, while the largest was held on October 29, 2006 in Monroeville Mall in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, the setting of Romero's original Dawn of the Dead film. The walk consisted of 894 attendees who all were instructed to bring canned food for a local food drive.
