"I am a legend"-Will Smith is not alone in the fight

Before I watched this movie, I secretly doubted the name of this self-confident movie. The person who named this movie must know the parents who are invincible in the East and let them go, otherwise, how could they have such an arrogant name: "Legend" "Don't you always rely on others to spread the word, this time you think you are a legend?

For a period of time after the start of the film, I felt that I had made a mistake in my judgment. This may really be the legend of Will Smith fighting alone. Looking at the deserted New York and the huge aircraft carrier, although there may be no one to praise this. Human stories, but watching a person struggling in this end world still has a different mentality, because this kind of story structure is completely open, you can guess the beginning but not the end.

However, this feeling did not last, and the film quickly slipped into the quarrel. It turns out that Will Smith is not alone in the fight. He is the same as the character in "Twenty-eight Days Later", but is one of the survivors. His destiny quickly changed from a state of being at ease to a state of carrying a mission.

From the original only one, from survival to saving lives, this kind of psychological process is epic if it is played well, and if it is not played well, it is pretending to be coercion. The film started to get out of control on this crucial change, and then seemed to be eager to achieve a legendary story, and quickly ended the fate of the protagonist.

At the moment of the film's climax, no one belonged to anyone except Will Smith. I saw nothing but an actor eager to get away with 20 million pieces.

    What is this! At first I thought it was a science fiction movie, but when I saw the zombie come out, I knew it was a horror movie; until the zombie had true love, I knew it was a romance movie! What a ruined movie!

I Am Legend quotes

  • [first lines]

    TV Personality: The world of medicine has seen its share of miracle cures, from the polio vaccine to heart transplants. But all past achievements may pale in comparison to the work of Dr. Alice Krippin. Thank you so much for joining us this morning.

    Dr. Alice Krippin: Not at all.

    TV Personality: So, Dr. Krippin, give it to me in a nutshell.

    Dr. Alice Krippin: Well, the premise is quite simple - um, take something designed by nature and reprogram it to make it work for the body rather than against it.

    TV Personality: You're talking about a virus?

    Dr. Alice Krippin: Indeed, yes. In this case the measles, um, virus which has been engineered at a genetic level to be helpful rather than harmful. Um, I find the best way to describe it is if you can... if you can imagine your body as a highway, and you picture the virus as a very fast car, um, being driven by a very bad man. Imagine the damage that car can cause. Then if you replace that man with a cop... the picture changes. And that's essentially what we've done.

    TV Personality: And how many people have you treated so far?

    Dr. Alice Krippin: Well, we've had ten thousand and nine clinical trials in humans so far.

    TV Personality: And how many are cancer-free?

    Dr. Alice Krippin: Ten thousand and nine.

    TV Personality: So you have actually cured cancer.

    Dr. Alice Krippin: Yes, yes... yes, we have.
