I Am Legend is one of my favorite movies.
Well, my confession is...Every time I watch the part where Sam dies (the main character's b-e-a-utifulll dog, a German Shepherd), I cry. So very hard. And a little part of me dies inside.
Because at this point, the main character loses almost all hope, I think.
The only thing he lived for, leaves existence.
This makes it movie my favorite movie.
No, I'm not a sadist...It's the fact that he keeps living.
It takes a strong person to do that. A very strong, powerful person.
Sure, he might have been rather callous, or cold to the woman whom saved him when his car flipped over and her son. But just imagine a loss like his.
That callousness was short lived.
He then gives his life in order to save them, save them all.
I know you might think Well he had nothing to live for.
Wrong.
It's not just something you do...the giving up of your life.
If you assess his character...
He's stubborn, noble and brave.
He seems a bit OCD, this could have been brought on by his lose. It seemed to me that he wanted to preserve the house. I made this assumption when they were in his daughter's room.
He fought 'til the end.
I also like how it started by someone trying to find a cure, like in most movies.
It gives it a realistic feel and is rather...logical. Also, it's irony and oh how I love irony.
Plus, the opening scene where him and Sam are driving around hunting the deer was beautiful. I especially loved when the lioness attacked the deer they had pinned. Beautiful. The whole family of lions were beautiful and it amazed me how they didn't attack, on either side.
And the movie had a happy ending, full of his remembrance.
He found the cure.
I am certainly quite teary after watching this but remember, there's beauty in sorrow and most times, it's the richest beauty.
Good night all and much love,

P.S. It's on again, I'm watching it even though I know I will cry yet again.
I love this movie, whole-heartedly.
And I realize this is posted early but I felt it necessary and I didn't want to miss the opportunity to truly express my feelings.
And thank you for reading it =)
