R goes to the enclosed stadium, where Julie and the other human survivors reside, to show Julie that he and the other zombies are changing. This moment shows that Julie is beginning to need R, just like he needs her in order to cure himself. However, the time the two spend in an abandoned home on their way back to Julie’s home is more detailed in the book and the two share a bed when Julie is afraid.
In the novel they walk out, but still leave an impression on the corpses who saw their attraction. The movie does a great job of showing how that act was a spark that ignited inside the other corpses. R and Julie’s escape from the zombie-infested airport is much more dramatic in the movie, where they have to out run the Boneys, and they hold hands for the first time, symbolizing a union between the living and dead. The movie does not show R having children or a wife, as he does in the novel, because that could potentially distract the audience from the love story. The Boneys are evil zombies who are so far gone they have no flesh. R also has children that the Boneys gave him, because they needed to be taught by someone. In the novel, R and Julie spend much more time together. Yet, in the novel, R continues having a supernatural connection with Perry, the ex-boyfriend, and is often communicating with his soul.
Both novel and movie show R eating Julie’s ex-boyfriend’s brains and gaining his memories. When R decides he must take Julie home, the movie makes small adaptations for the rest of the story. Julie is much more feisty and outspoken in the novel, but besides that all other characters are practically the same in both. While the novel and film follow the same plot and contain the same characters, there are differences in the two.
The more his feelings for Julie grow, the more humanlike and alive he becomes. Julie realizes R is unlike other corpses because he has feelings and a desire to be different, and so he is changing. During their time spent hiding out at the airport, a mutual attraction and connection forms between them. He takes her back to the airplane he lives in at an abandoned airport. To keep her safe from other zombies who live nearby, he helps her pretend she is dead and covers her with his black blood. Immediately, he feels a change within himself and an overwhelming need to protect her. The corpse R, who cannot remember his full name since his transformation, meets one of the planet’s last humans, Julie, during a raid with his fellow corpses. It is one of the first times we see a lovable side to a zombie, and the audience is sympathetic to him.
The story combines many genres, such as comedy, drama, adventure, romance, and action. Since there is a worldwide fascination with living in a post-apocalyptic world, Isaac Marion’s novel Warm Bodies was brought to the silver screen at perfect timing.
