I am Legend



A kind of lethal virus which is supposed to be the cure of cancer breaks out in 2009 . This mutant virus kills 90% of humans and over 9% people survive but are infected . When a person is infected , he/she will become extremly aggressive , lose rationality , and be afraid of UV radiation ( they will painfully die if be shone by the sun ) . So these infected people - almost look like monster , have to hide in dark buildings everyday until sunset . Less than 1% of humankind is immue to the virus , but were hunted by the infected as food , thus living in great danger .

Robert Neville ( Will Smith ) is the last healthy human staying in New York . He has no idea weather there are other normal people in the world or he is the only healthy survivor . His family died in the chaotic evacuation , leaving only one dog - Sam accompanying him . Everyday , Robert goes out with Sam in daytime for food and daily necessities ; everyday , he waits for a response to his continuous recorded radio broadcasts , expecting any uninfected survivors come to meet him ; everyday , he tries to find the treatment from his his own blood ( cause Robert is immue to the virus ) ; everyday , he hides himself home at night from been found by infected guys ; everyday , he lives in solitude , torturing by loneliness , talking only with mannequins he sets up . Until one day , 2 other healthy people finally show up ...

This is really a great movies that touch me deeply in the heart in many scenes . It presents the reaction and mentality of one person who lives in solitude for more than 3 years without cantact with anyone . Robert is brave , he chooses to live even he has to be alone - maybe for whole life . When his only friend - Sam is infected and becomes aggressive , Robert has no choice but kill her personally , with deep sarrow . But Robert still has fragile side . When seeing him break down , I felt so sad , too . The extrem loneliness is frightened . I'm not sure I can handle it like Robert when facing this kind of situation . It must need great courage and mental toughness .

It's a great movie , also exciting , because you have no idea when those monster like people will jump out with terrible scream in a sudden . After watching it , I feel so lucky and grateful that I can stay here with all my friends and families , other than being alone .
