Plot introduction
Ignorant humans are often the initiators of catastrophic events ... a large-scale virus suddenly broke out, and almost no one can stop it from spreading so fast. No one knows where the terrible virus started, only that it can't be stopped, irreversible and incurable. Most importantly, it is man-made. Robert Nayville is an outstanding pathogen scholar in new york City, serving the US military. As a pioneer of government investment in epidemic vaccine research, he saw the virus raging in the street, but he could do nothing. This airborne virus finally enveloped the whole city at an irresistible speed, so that the President could only order the blockade of new york City and let uninfected people leave the city. As you can imagine, this practice caused great panic among the citizens, and new york was in chaos. In his anxiety, Robert put his wife Zoe and his 7-year-old daughter Mary on a helicopter out of town, but he witnessed the tragedy in front of them ... At this time, death may be the best choice, because those infected but not dead have changed their bodies and become a terrible creature, and there is no longer any rational thinking. They live in the darkness and shadows under the city, avoiding the sun-they have fresh blood and meat. As a result of this disaster, new york became a dead city, and Robert became the only human here-somehow, his blood had innate immunity to this virus. Robert knows that he has two weapons to use, that is, his scientific expertise and his own blood. The experience of earning a living in the army helped him choose a lifestyle in this abandoned city, which is completely systematic. He insists on a lot of physical training every day, and he also sends out radio waves to ask for help or find survivors like him ... Robert is a very self-disciplined person, otherwise, normal people may go crazy in this extremely lonely situation. The only one who is still fighting alongside Robert is his most loyal partner, Sam, a German shepherd. During the day, Robert took Sam out to find life-sustaining materials, and then went to the laboratory to do research and send radio waves; At night, they shut themselves in a building as strong as a fortress and watched the monsters "feed" on the streets of the city. In addition to doing the same thing dutifully every day, Robert enjoys complete freedom in this "empty city": he can drive his sports car on the street; Playing golf on a fighter plane; Decorating his fortress with priceless jewels, even the most prosperous commercial street in the city center has now become Robert's own "back garden". As the last hope of mankind, Robert was driven by the only remaining task, that is, using the immune system in his blood to find a way to reverse the virus. Although he knew that he was facing a huge astronomical figure, he had no choice because his time was running out. This movie has two endings. The first result is that just when he found the antibody, the monster invaded his fortress. He can only lay down his life to protect the other two people who heard his radio waves meet him. These two men sent the antibodies he bought at the cost of his life to several human settlements without viruses and antibodies. The elites there will copy and spread this life-saving medicine, and human beings will reproduce, which means that in the next few billion years, those who survived because of him will always tell his story, just like the legend of Dayu saving water and Prometheus stealing fire ... In the second ending, he did not die with the monsters. After seeing the butterfly pattern painted by Nightmare on the glass door, he realized that Nightmare attacked him only to get his lover (or daughter) back. So he pulled out the needle and gave up "saving" the mutant woman. The restored female nightmare returned to the male nightmare, and the two were intimate. The nightmare of getting my lover (or daughter) back didn't kill them, and finally left with my lover and his man.
Two endings
The film has two endings: the normal version: Robert sacrifices himself to save mankind and people around him. Extended version: Robert narrowly escaped death, with the two people he saved, continuing his journey to find survivors, but vaguely revealing the fact that human beings have died. It's hard to say which of the two endings is a tragedy and which is a happy ending. There are joys and sorrows, and there are also losses. Both endings are permeated with the beauty of human nature, which is both natural and far-fetched. It also seems to indicate that the future is uncertain, and the future of mankind is created by ourselves. Life and death depend on our thoughts.
Mental shock
This movie can make us feel the beauty of human nature. First of all, the movie after the disaster gave me the biggest feeling that there are too many things in life that we don't know how to cherish, and only when we lose them do we know how to regret. What makes the author feel most sad in the film is not the death of the protagonist's wife and daughter, or even the desolation of the whole world, but the scene where Robert came to a disc and put some dummy models inside and outside. Robert went to the door of the store, greeted the two dummies warmly, gave each of them a name, took a disc, went to the cashier, and made a joke on the dummies sitting behind the counter. Even walked up to a female dummy, pretended to peek at her, made a love-and-embarrassment look, and made up my mind: Tomorrow, tomorrow, I must summon up the courage to talk to you! After reading these, I suddenly feel like crying: there can be so many warm and beautiful feelings between people. It turns out that I went to a small shop and chatted with acquaintances and friends, and I fell in love with this opposite sex silently! Then the daughter gave it to the dog that accompanied him. In such a lonely environment, man's most loyal partner did his best (I don't know what word to use) and later died for his master. Do we care about Robert's tears and everything Robert dreams of? The two endings of the film are also permeated with the beauty of human nature. In the first ending, Robert sacrificed himself to save the world and people around him. This kind of behavior is noble and touching. The second ending reveals the connection between man and the world through the feelings between zombies, which has profound implications.
Disaster enlightenment
This movie reminds me of two other lesser-known "post-disaster" movies, Son of Man and Fatal Visit. Two films, such as I am a Legend, don't comment too much on the causes of the disaster, but imagine how to deal with it after it happens. "The Son of Man" imagines that if human beings lose the fertility that many people take for granted, the world will be shrouded in despair and decadence, people will no longer work with peace of mind, and there will be cries of killing and killing everywhere ... The film itself has a thin plot and strong traces of action movies. Fatal Visit envisages what will happen if a virus spreads and human beings seem to be doing everything as usual, but lose their feelings and emotions? The answer given by the film is: people will not be people! In the film, a wife tells her psychiatrist that her husband used to beat him and scold him, but when he kissed her, she could feel the love from the heart. However, after being infected by the virus, he stopped hitting her and scolding her, or even hitting her back and scolding her, but she no longer felt his heart. She would rather he went back to the grumpy old man! ..... These disaster films remind us from a unique perspective that there are many beautiful and precious things around us or on us that we should face and cherish with gratitude.
Edit the relevant notes in this paragraph.
After Van Helsing, there is another bad film piled up by CGI. As the protagonist, will smith has very few choices. This failed film even turned the recent Fatal Visit into a masterpiece. -will smith, the upcoming website, presented an amazing "one-man show", which deserves an Oscar. -The movie "Flame News" is a very creative reshaping of an old topic.
