I Am Legend Trailer
I am Legend is a prime example of an apocalyptic movie. I am Legend raises the question of what would happen if a new drug released to the public created a new disease. The disease is airbourne and turns humans into a horrific species and seems to effect everyone. However, there is one survivor, Will Smith, and he must live his life with no other humans. He lives in constant fear of the new species of humans and must grow his own food and in addition, his only companion is his dog that he had before the epidemic began. He does mundane activities everyday, including searching for a cure to the disease. It gives a great insight of how it truly feels to be alone and in constant fear.

ReplyDeleteYou guys are in cahoots, aren't you...?
ReplyDeleteGood example of a suitable primary source, Nate. To push your observations further into analysis, think about HOW specifically, the filmmaker has effectively conveyed the sense of "being alone and in constant fear" as you rightly point out. What specific details that you observe in the trailer distinctly suggest his (a) loneliness and (b) his fear? Precisely how has the filmmaker effectively represented that disaster to you, such that you are convinced of Will Smith's loneliness and fear?
