I watched Dawn of the Dead (Romero's original) recently, and I think one of the scenes that really sticks out in mind is the "arcade scene". It's interesting how the two soldiers are playing the "Outlaw" arcade game, and later on in the film, one of them winds up shooting the other. I loved it how Romero points out the dangers of materialism, and how it could desensitize us from reality and real life consequences... like zombies. Any thoughts/opinions?
