Rare one-man show

The first movie I saw in 2008, from this perspective, Will Smith has done his homework. The transformation was successful, and the achievements from Happiness to the present are obvious to all. He's no longer the Will from Men in Black.

The whole play has been able to grab the audience's attention from the very beginning. The setting of the scene and the tension of the clues are especially excellent. With Will supporting the play by himself, the story can be spread out with very little dialogue. To be honest, such a plot story is not new, and the structure is relatively simple, so the expression method is very critical. Starting from the interaction between people and dogs, the closeness and dependence with SAM makes Robert's loneliness more and more obvious. Saying hello to dummy models, naming them, these are robert's escape from reality. When a person knows that what he is doing is pointless and continues to persevere, it is very likely that he is desperate. He is just maintaining the last bottom line of his life through these seemingly normal behaviors, which is his sense of responsibility. "This is ground zero, this is my site." He couldn't afford to lose his area because it was all he had. He doesn't believe there are other people alive, though he still seeks and calls out on all AM-band broadcasts; he doesn't believe in survival camps because he's lost the courage to hope. Everyone he knew was dead, and he dared not let himself down again, especially after countless failed experiments. No matter how firm your beliefs are, there is always something to be shaken by being disappointed too much. Robert can only protect himself, stay in a place he is familiar with, and use research antidote to let his life escape out of control. But when sam also died, he had nothing to lose. It is difficult for anyone to be rational when they are overly sad. Robert chooses to gamble his life in the dark, seeking relief while taking revenge. The appearance of Anna and Ethan left him at a loss. In addition to himself, there are other people living! He didn't know how to react for a while, and he didn't know if he should still believe it. In the end, he decided to believe, and at the cost of his own life, to exchange for a chance, let Anna take the antidote that he had researched, and go to the so-called survival camp to give hope to mankind and hope to himself.

"Light up the darkness."

It's a pity that the biggest shortcoming of this play is that the last part facing death is too hasty, there is not enough time for robert to perform, and it ends in a blink of an eye, which is too sudden and too hasty. The emotion came to an abrupt end before it broke out at that moment, which was very unpleasant. Very very sorry.
