Four friends, Sky, Jessie, Lahim, Joshua, meet at an audition for a stage play on Jesus Christ; an audition at which all of them fail. While moving on to another audition, they get into a brawl with a bunch of Elvis impersonators and end up killing one of them by accident. Suddenly they find themselves fugitives, eventually getting arrested in a village called Jackville. The charge against them, however, has nothing to do with the murder they actually committed. Although claiming to be a musical comedy, this cultish, kitschy film actually has an unexpectedly profound message. In order to decode the hidden message, it’s essential to figure out the symbolism of the four main characters. Sky is a homosexual. Jessie becomes an active feminist. Lahim is Black and Joshua Jewish. The reason they get arrested in Jackville, where the Christian world-view predominates, is simply that their existence and beliefs themselves are a threat. Four characters getting arrested in the extremely conservative society of Jackville stands in for the conflict between the mainstream world-viewsand the non-mainstream ones currently circulating in the United States. The film takes this serious theme and deals with it in a very light-hearted, humorous way, seeking reconciliation between these conflicting forces. The film seems to hold serious grudges against Christianity, but just like the play with Jesus featured at the beginning, it ultimately finds a very Christian solution to all those problems, which is to restore truly Christian love. The ending ironically stresses this religious theme showing the village in utter ruin and messed up by zombies. (LIM Ji-soo)
