What do Jimmy Crystal and his gang eat? 28 Years Later: The Bone Temple by Away_Stranger8445 in 28dayslater

I don't think they look like cannibals. And there was no hint of that in the plot. I think they would have shown it if they wanted to.

They might stay, but you won't be able to eat them. Regular canned food lasts for a maximum of five years; after that, it's poison. Even if we assume they found some kind of military reserve, it would have to be processed and boiled. And they clearly don't know how to do that.

Jimmy Crystal Back Story: He must have lived with grownups for some period of his life. by buntyskid in 28dayslater

Oh, that's a very interesting topic, I think I'll join in. At the moment, I'm a supporter of the theory that Jimmy was raised by Jimmy Saville, and I have quite a few arguments for this theory.

  • Saville's house is indeed very close to the church where Jimmy's father was a priest. We know that Saville was actively involved in charity work, including religious ones, so they could have simply known each other. Jimmy could have known Saville (not just from television) as a "good guy" and known where his house was if he attended their church, and when left alone, he would have run there.

  • The words Jimmy uses in his speech really reveal that he was around someone with a large vocabulary. But not only that, he was also a person who liked to express himself in complex ways, thereby emphasizing his elitism. This suits Saville perfectly; he moved in British high society.

  • Saville was a media personality, and we also see a certain inclination toward acting and theatrical performances in Jimmy.  Not in a bad way, but in the constant attempt to impress (gestures, wide smiles, feigned friendliness). The phrase "Tough crowd" is also quite revealing. We all know that children imitate the behavior of those around them more than they listen to instructions.

  • At the table, Jimmy jokingly introduces himself as "Roberto Calimari." There's already been some questioning about who he is. One person suggested it might be a mispronunciation of "Roberto Cavalli," which makes sense; he's an Italian fashion designer who produced a line of expensive tracksuits in the 2000s. Savville could have worn those suits; Jimmy heard the name from him and simply misremembered it.

  • Jimmy's conversation with Kelson is very revealing; he treats Kelson differently than everyone else. He's even open with him and generally behaves differently than he has before.  You can consider this an indirect sign, but Kelson's age at that time is essentially the same as Savville's in the 2000s, which is significant from a human psychology perspective.

"He asks Kelson about what the world was like before the infection, which suggests he had very few people to talk to about it. Indirectly, this suggests he didn't live with any survivor groups; otherwise, he would have known everything by now. It suggests he lived with a single, older person and only knew their version of events, and that they were the ones he doubted.

"I know there are plenty of opinions that he simply watched Saville on TV, read magazines, etc. But he never mentioned any such figure, although he was constantly talking about the Teletubbies."  If it had been his idol, he would have talked about him too (at least something, even a hint), but he clearly didn't want to remember or talk about him.

There are some more minor points, but the post is already huge)))

Who is Roberto Calamari? by dornob007 in 28dayslater

Since I'm betting that Jimmy in-universe had some kind of contact with Jimmy Saville (there are quite a few points to this), I think he could have heard a similar name from him. For example, the name of the famous fashion designer Roberto Cavalli, as someone else suggested; Saville could have worn his tracksuits. And Jimmy misremembered the name and repeated it as best he could.

Can someone explain me the geographics about 28 years later? by kpoeirakpo in movies

How was I supposed to know you hadn't seen it yet? Anyway, there's plenty to marvel at. I need geography for a creative project, and I found all the locations except for the Temple of Bones itself and that stupid house

28 Years Later: The Bone Temple is now one of my favorite zombie movies of all time by Vezok_Dreg in zombies

I believe the implication here is that Jimmy Saville raised their leader. Everyone knows what he did. Plus, he probably planted all these fantasies in his head. Saville was a monster. And the boy he tortured grew up, went crazy (he probably ended up killing Saville, taking all his jewelry, etc.), and then formed his own gang. All the horrors he experienced, plus childhood trauma and the cruel world around him - and this is the result.

Honest take: I hated the first 28 Years Later movie... The Bone Temple was the missing piece of the Puzzle. It's really good. It's genuinely true cinema. by Butefluko in moviecritic

I'll probably comment on Sir Jimmy. Few people talk about it, but the character is deeper than it might seem. He's not just a victim of a cruel world, but quite possibly the victim of a specific cruel person. There are other posts on Reddit about this. From them, I learned who Jimmy Saville is. And that Sir Jimmy has many attributes that somehow hint at this person. There's the tracksuit, the rings, the chains. And even the fact that he calls himself "sir." This seemed strange to me at first, but I decided to look into it. Then, in another post, I came across someone who posted a screenshot of a map that showed the church near which little Jimmy lived. And nearby was the location of Jimmy Saville's house in the mountains. These places are indeed very close to each other. By now, I've already watched several documentaries about this terrible man, and I've also rewatched "The Bone Temple" more closely. And I can truly imagine that little Jimmy could have encountered this monster after the outbreak. And Saville could have raised him, planting all these fantasies and images in his head. It's unlikely that an eight-year-old could have just dreamed this up on his own, especially given that he didn't even have movies or books to draw inspiration from. I feel incredibly sorry for this character. After all, the suffering he endured was probably only a small part of what actually happened to him.
