I am LegendThe emotions portrayed in this movie just tore me apart.
I don't know if it's the excellent plot or the great acting by Will Smith that made me resonate so much with the main character. Honestly, the plot isn't new. Mutation has been used in just too many scientific movie plots.
I guess it's the loneliness. I felt so much pain when the main character had to part with his family. People might say he is lucky, he was among the 1% population on earth that was immune to the virus, he had the chance to survive while others did not, he had the strong belief that he must
light up the darkness and save everyone. But I actually feel so sad for him. He had to live alone in the big New York City, could only talk to his dog and the mannequins. He watched recorded TV programmes from the past to entertain himself. He set two alarms on his watch to remind himself of sunset. After his dog got killed, he went onto a suicidal revenge. If I were him, I guess I would have killed myself long ago.
And yet he lived on, and refused to go along with another survivor to the "survivor's colony". He kept reassuring that he can stop it, but I don't know if he was reassuring others or actually himself.
I think the plot carried much more meaning than what was shown explicitly. But I don't really know how to put them down in words.
The virus outbreak happened in 2009 in the movie. All I could think of is, if it really happens, I will never want to be the last survivor.
