Brandon Duke- "I am Legend" 4/20

I know that the blog directions said that we were suppose to do outside readings, but since this is a movie class I thought that outside movies would be alright too. I watched this movie almost three times and I really liked it. When it came out, I was like, what another zombie movie? And actually had no intentions of seeing it. My roommate had a copy and one night I had nothing to do so I sat down.

For real I thought it was good. Not overly gory and horrific, just enough suspense, Will Smith always does a good job, and it had a great ending. Not only that but a great message was rolled up into the film. The dialogue and symbolism about Bob Marly was great. And the tie to "light in the darkness" was exactly what Smith's character was doing.

The parallels to Christianity were amazing. One of the sickest lines, at the end, was "the cure is in the blood". That is just like Christ's blood. I don't want to spoil the movie for those who haven't seen it. Just know that it is awesome
