Surviving the apocalypse is one thing. Introducing yourself to a stranger under an umbrella turns out to be another, as Marcus discovers in the closing scenes of Warm Bodies.

The Dollar Theater's compilation from the 2013 zombie romantic comedy added about 51,000 views in a day, against its usual daily gain of roughly 3,000. Posted a week ago, it brings together the film's climactic escape and the gentler business of learning to live together afterward. This is an excerpt from the film, not a new production starring Nicholas Hoult and Teresa Palmer.

Hoult's R and Palmer's Julie begin cornered by the skeletal Boneys, with a high window and a pool offering an escape. Later, Julie has an unusually practical argument for her armed father: R is bleeding, which means he is alive.

But the compilation also makes space for the less spectacular consequences of becoming human. Recovering zombies play sports, receive care and attempt conversation. Marcus's hesitant encounter in the rain makes an ordinary introduction part of the happy ending.

That change of register is what several commenters discuss: why zombie films so rarely allow this much happiness, and how Warm Bodies differs from the genre's grimmer stories. Others remember not having seen it for years.
