for contrast via movies mad max v a charlton heston movie of him in a fortress in a city. he could get canned goods and stuff during the day. rolled up the blinds at night — the night people wanted to kill him
Yup, that was realistic. Plus on shows like Walking Dead they show the characters forging, forming alliances, and dealing with outside groups that want to kill them, when I see shows where they use lots of candles and have buckets of water in the kitchen to clean dishes, then it lends a bunch of realism.
