<p>Of course, it will be still necessary to describe the art if it relevant to the topic at hand. A possible solution to this issue is describing the «image» afterwards with regular text tags. If the text art is meant to be purely decorative, you can probably skip this step though.</p>

<p>These aren't strict rules you absolutely need to follow. At the end of the day, one must take into consideration both accessibilty and their own vision and arrive at a compromise.</p>

<p>While by no means <em>a perfect</em> movie, George A. Romero's <em>Night of the Living Dead</em> is a classic - why? Well, for a few reasons, first of all, it's the first modern zombie movie. There <em>were</em> quote-on-quote &#xAB;zombie&#xBB; movies before this point, most notably 1932's <em><a href="https://letterboxd.com/film/white-zombie">White Zombie</a></em>, but these movies were more about a person who was under the control of a puppet master and had to do their bidding - so, not what we think of when we hear the word zombie today.</p>

<p>There are also other issues with Living Dead, such as when at the start when Barbra goes into a house, with the outside shot being day and the inside being night. There is also a very weird cut in the movie where two people are talking and then suddenly it just flashes forward a few seconds for <em>some reason</em>.</p>

<p>Despite all of the mistakes in the film, there are also a few highlights in it, Ben (Duane Jones), for example, is a no damns given guy, who is kind of the audience's surrogate character. He doesn't get annoyed easily, but the way he interacts with other people, especially Harry Cooper (Karl Hardman), slowly (and understandably) drives him up the wall. I think she's a good character and even the best in this. He's levelheaded, but certainly not perfect..</p>

<p><em>Hey Alexa, search the Web for &#xAB;Does The Dog Die in The Plague Dogs&#xBB;...?</em></p>

<p>So kids, you've ever heard of that one movie from the '70s called <a href="https://letterboxd.com/film/watership-down">Watership Down</a> about those cute little rabbits who have to fight for their lives and some even get killed in grizzly ways? Welp, they made another film like that but this time... with dogs! <img src="../../emoji/expressions/smileys/happy_fun/big_smile.svg" title="A Mutant Standard Emoji showing a happy smiling face (&#x1F603;)." alt="A Mutant Standard Emoji showing a happy smiling face (&#x1F603;)." width="19" height="19"> Oh boy, they sure did and it's a story about the continuous struggle of two dogs and their attempt to not only escape from a cruel animal testing lab but as well as their friendship. It's a slow burn of a movie, but it really does pull at your heart in a way that makes you feel hollow inside.</p>
