“28 Years Later” trailer: The eerie poem has a meaning
As a gamer with a keen interest in movies and poetry, I must say that the trailer for “28 Years Later” has left me thoroughly intrigued and eagerly anticipating its release. The eerie poem, “Boots,” perfectly sets the tone for this post-apocalyptic thriller, creating an atmosphere of suspense and unease that is rarely achieved in trailers.
Audience members can’t help but notice the haunting poem in the newly released trailer for 28 Years Later, and they’re intrigued by how it sets a chilling tone for the upcoming film. Viewers are eagerly wondering about the connection between the poem and the movie’s central theme.
2025 is set to see the release of the third installment in the “28 Days Later” series, an eagerly awaited film. The trailer hints at a transformed world following thirty years since a devastating virus outbreak.
In the trailer, we catch a glimpse of Cillian Murphy portraying the character named Jim. This sneak peek piques curiosity without revealing too many details, leaving viewers eager for more information about the upcoming movie.
Instead, the mysterious poem repeatedly shown during the film’s trailers appears to subtly suggest certain aspects of the upcoming movie, leaving spectators intrigued and wondering.
The eerie poem is called “Boots”
The trailer seemed perfectly aligned with the ghostly poem which could not have been better with any other sound effects or music sequence. The poem was authored by English poet Rudyard Kipling, first published in 1903.
The poem was published in his collection called The Five Nations. The lines are meant to be repetitive thoughts of soldiers belonging to the British Army, generally used to train the trainees to survive in hostile situations.
1) In the trailer, you’ll find the voice acting of American actor Taylor Holmes. From the beginning, the poem maintains a peaceful tone, but it intensifies, sending chills down the viewers’ spines as it progresses.
The U.S. Navy uses a looping audio for its trainees to prepare them for survival in extreme conditions. This particular program is called Survival, Evasion, Resistance and Escape (SERE).
Some individuals who had undergone SERE training in the past recounted a particular poem that sent shivers down their spines. One individual regretted ever searching for it on YouTube.
As a gamer, I’d put it this way: For me, it wasn’t the poem itself that gave me unease; it was the tone and vibe of the poet’s voice.
It seems fitting that this specific poem was chosen for the trailer’s audio, as it harmoniously complements the film’s visuals. The rhythmic beat of the poem, reminiscent of a survival group’s marching footsteps, resonates powerfully with their struggle for life.
The remaining troops are gripped with deep sadness as they frantically strive to break free from the torment inflicted by the enemy troops, the relentless pain inflicted by the infected, and they plead for a fight back.
28 Years Later comes out on June 20, 2025.
