What will I do when I'm the only one left in the world? What do you do when you need to end the life of your only companion dog?
"I Am Legend" is an apocalyptic sci-fi film released in 2007, directed by Francis Lawrence and based on Lee It is also the third film adaptation of the book by Charles Mason's novel of the same life. The plot of this film is similar to the second film adaptation of the novel, The Last Man. It mainly tells that in 2012, mankind was finally overwhelmed by the virus. The former military virologist played by Will Smith became the only survivor in New York City because he had natural antibodies in his body and was not infected. The only surviving human in the world.
"I Am Legend" created an empty New York City, a waste city in the future, only Will Smith and a hound depend on each other. The relationship between Will Smith and his dog in the film moved me. Even if he and Sam both needed meat, he couldn't bear to grab food from the lion's mouth, because it was a family of three, and he couldn't deal with such a "family", so he could only persuade Sam to eat more vegetables. He's still having a lot of fun living on his own, as if life goes on. But just as we and I were glad to have Sam by his side in his lonely life, on his birthday, not only did he not receive any blessings, but he had to watch Sam leave. He could go into the tiger's den for Sam, but he couldn't live alone. He remembered that his barbecue was reserved for Sam, but Sam could never taste it again. When he was about to strangle his dog to death with his own hands, his painful eyes conveyed all the information that he is really the only one left in the world, but he must live strong.

Will Smith's acting skills once again impressed me. After more than ten years of commercial blockbuster, Will Smith's excellent acting skills have been achieved. Will Smith almost alone supported the performance part of "I Am Legend", and he perfectly interpreted the performance. The fear of being born and dying, the grief of losing Sam, and the determination to die in the fire, Will Smith uses his superb acting skills to give this character incredible fortitude.
There is a very touching sentence in this film, which is the recording of Will Smith on the radio, "I'm Robert Nero, I'm a survivor in New York, I'm broadcasting on all AM channels, I'm Will be at South Street Bay at noon every day, if anyone can hear me, I can provide food, I can keep you safe, and if you can hear me, anyone, answer me, you're not alone." Not in three years Change, in my eyes, is the foundation of human survival, an inexplicable hope, a silent persistence, and the highest respect for life.
