Dawn of the Dead Original Shot 1

Here we have the final girl of the film who is named Fran. She is different to the usual final girls because she is blonde. We also have Peter who looks big and scary on the outside but is actually a nice guy who cares about other people. Peter and Roger act as better male heroes in this film than Steven does. This scene represents Auteur theory and showing that George Romero was both anti-racist and anti-sexist , due to the fact that we have a blonde female survivor and a black male hero, showing some diversity in the cast of characters. George Romero also featured a black male hero in his film, Night of the Living Dead
