Zombie love

First of all, I want to say that I am watching the extended version of My Legend. In this version, the protagonist did not die, but went to the survivor’s paradise with Anna and Ethan.

I like to ambush deeply in suspense, and the finishing touch is the answer to the puzzle that was laid before.
The movie I saw only after seeing the introduction of the movie, the preconceived notion made me think that this is just another American catastrophe blockbuster or Batman-like personal heroism. But after watching the film, I really have to sigh. Fortunately, I didn't miss this film because of my subjectivity.
After watching this movie, I was really surprised. Many of the previous episodes showed the brutality of human beings reduced to zombies to the fullest. Rob determined that these zombies had no IQ and had completely transformed into beasts. The reason for the judgment was that a zombie exposed himself to the sun despite his fearful physique. And I really believed it, and of course, following the protagonist's thinking, I determined that these non-human beings had become a group of crazy low-IQ beasts. But I have always had doubts about the trap that successfully hurt Rob. The answer was finally given in the ending: The zombies that seem to be killing themselves are not because they have no IQ. But it is because of love. What a reversal ending, the "thing" that seems to be a brutal beast and a walking corpse will be taken away because of the lover, regardless of life and death? This is something that many normal humans cannot do, right? The zombie leader let go of Rob and Anna at the end, and the kindness that he showed made me inhale sharply. This kind of kindness may correspond to the protagonist's words: "You are sick, let me help you. "Indeed, this group of seemingly brutal and crazy creatures are actually just a group of poor people who are seriously ill.
The protagonist’s daily broadcast always repeats one sentence: YOU ARE NOT ALONE. At first I just thought that this sentence was meant for the survivor and himself. Seeing the last car driving far away, I felt that this sentence might still be shouting to those zombies. Because the protagonist has always believed that he can restore everything to the same as before, and for those sick companions who need help, this sentence may be even more important.

    Did SS and vampire interbreed in the film? ? I've always wondered why I'm afraid of light? ?

    Violence, greed, and lust are contagious without touching. There may only be faith and hope left to save mankind.

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.
