Lately, I had been visiting the theater more often. This should be a good sign to me. At least some resemblance of a healthy social life.
One of the films I had watched was I am Legend. Got to say a big thank you to Joan. She had bothered to watch this show with me when most of my friends weren't that interested in it.
In the movie, Will Smith is the only survivor of a man-made catastrophe. A brilliant doctor had found a method to cure cancer by modifying the genetic chain of a virus. Problem is that this miracle cure started to malfunction in a very bad way. It started to turn people into blood thirsty zombies and ripping the whole world apart.
It made me started thinking. How would I react if I was the only one living in this planet we called Earth. Yes. 1 out of 60 billions occupants. No one to talk to. No one who I can care about or who will care for me. All alone. There might not even be God for if he really exist, why would he do this to me? Losing all forms of hope and belief that you had always have.
All I know is that life will be unimaginable. What is there to live for? I had always believe that kinship, friendship and the love we had for our life partner should be the reasons why we want to live. The will to fight for our survival.
The most ironic part is that all these were caused by your fellow human being. Homo Sapiens. The one species deem to be the most intelligent on this planet. Given the right to run this planet and rule over all the other species.
I think what had happened in the movie could be very real. A lot of problems we had are man made anyway. War and global warming are two very good examples that come to mind. Would the animals have wars that will kill their own species by the millions? Would the animals create pollutants that will make Earth an unbearable place to live soon?
Anyway, I don't really like the ending. I think it kinda give out a fake hope. Not wanting to give the ending away. Do watch it if you are interested. It really is not bad a film.
We are all in the gutter, but some of us are looking at the stars.
You can take a picture of something you see. In the future where will I be?
