British Horror: '28 Days Later' (2002, Danny Boyle)

JIM (CILLIAN MURPHY) - white male protagonist - only conventional aspect is his              white skin colour.


4 births:
(#1) Him regaining consciousness from his coma in the vacant St Thomas' Hospital in London. (Equilibrium).

(He is 'born' into the diegesis metaphorically like an infant: weak, naïve & unconditioned. Also, 'bottom of the food chain' - utilisation of high-angle shots, natural lighting (early in the morning) and performance are symbolic of this).
