This film may have been flawed, but I did like the fact that Romero stuck with his tradition of casting an African American in the lead--and it was just an added bonus that this lead happened to be one of the undead.
Jonny Metro has a point. I never thought of it that way.
I've been pondering lately in regards to Diary of the Dead if Romero was trying to make a point in that the group of African American survivors/small militia had their shit way more together than the film students the movie was following. I've heard a few people say that the group of African Americans would've been way more interesting to follow than the annoying film students, which I agree with.
Ha ha, that pic is classic.
