Throughout the film, he was pretty much interacting with a dogand that was about it. We witness Robert nerve-racking his best to lead a normal existence, slowly losing his sanity, and yet trying to save the world all at the same time. It is nice to know that his range of acting is not just limited to follow out films (although there is a fair bit of action in I Am Legend) but its in the tranquil moments that Smith gracefully and effortlessly shines- his strained expressions and his persistent battle for his sanity. The cozy relationship wi th his dog is extremely touching. His performance was excellent and believable, so hats off to him.TECHNICAL ELEMENTS/ SOUNDThe opening scenes of I Am Legend have special effects so good that they just about redress for some later special effects that are slightly clumsy. We find oneself Manhattan three years after a deadly virus has killed every healthy human on the island, except one. The streets are overgrown with weeds, cars are abandoned and the infrastructure of clumsily quarantined buildings is beginning to collapse.The film does a good job of revealing the monsters bit by bit, but at once dis conform toed, their CGI-ness is hard to ignore. By the time theyre in full-on assault mode, they resemble something bid zombified versions of something out of a video game. This makes for exciting action sequences, but dials down the horror considerably.The song 3 little birds by bobfloat Marley is use extensively and is also on the soundtrack in the film. The song has bittersweet undertones as Robert sings the song Dont worry about a thing, Cause every little thing gonna be all right in an attempt nourish himself and his dog, to avoid intense loneliness, and also to remind him of his family (his daughter was called Marley after Bob Marley).THEME/ CONCLUSIONCleverly set in the year 2012, the film just makes us feel even more paranoid. Like numerous of the best sci-fi films, I Am Legend says a lot about the times we are currently living in. One of the main themes of this film is that one daylight, we, humans ourselves, could be the cause of the wipe out of the entire human race if we keep on messing with nature and trying to play God. Smith clearly states so in the film, God didnt do this. We did But Smith is like a ray of hope and reminds us that there are good people left in the world. utilise a quote from Bob Marley, he says that the people that are trying to make the world worse never take a day off, so why should I? Light up the darkness. In this case , Smith feels its his duty to save humans and Light the darkness (cure the muddied seekers).I Am Legend is available in Blu-Ray and DVD on Monday 21st April 2008.
