The thought that this movie can actually become a reality sends chills through my body.
This is a good movie to see, even if it does not have a very happy ending. It gives credit to the many ingredients that is vital in humanity- there’s hope (that a cure would be found), there’s sacrifice (when he gave up his life to save the cure), there’s love (love for his dog, and other people)… but one thing that is missing is PEACE.. and in its place instead is WAR.

Yes, WAR has been a vital part of man’s existence. Sad as it may seem, this is the kind of reality that I see. WW1 and WW2 are the wars of the past; Terrorism, corruption, and the like is the war of the present; and the storyline of “I am Legend” may very well be the war of the future.

Can we become our own legend? Or are we one of those who would die of a virus created by others?

But dude. It has happened. And it continues to happen. In the Philippines. And elsewhere. As Bono and U2 point out:

They say that what you mock
Will surely overtake you
And you become a monster
So the monster will not break you


I like to see the hope that this movie portrays as a reflection of the hope that eventually we as humans will be able to find something that will help us rise beyond our pettiness and our self-centeredness and our self-righteousness.

The things that make monsters out of all of us.

Hm... I think Jars of Clay made the point clearer in "Good Monsters":

All the good monsters open their eyes
To see the wasteland where the home fires rise
And the people shouting, "Why, why, why"

Do you know what you are?
Do you know what you are?

All the giants wake from their sleep
And roll outside of safety's keep
And the pain makes them feel so alive

Do you know what you are; do you know what you are?
We are bored of all the things we know
Do you know what you are; do you know what you are?

Not all monsters are bad
But the ones who are good
Never do what they could, never do what they could

All the good monsters rattle their chains
And dance around the open flames
They make a lot of empty noise

While all of the bright eyes turn away
As if there wasn't anything to say
About the justice and the mystery

Do you know what you are?
Do you know what you are?
We are bored of all the things that we know
And we are forms of everything we love, we love..

If good won't show its ugly face,
Evil won't you take your place?
Nothing ever changes, nothing ever changes
By itself

We are bored of all the things that we know
Do you know what you are?
Because we are so in love with ourselves

We are forms of all the things we love.

we need good monsters who actually do something...

sadly, i think i'm one of those who "never do what they could"

every little thing's gonna be alright? hehe.
the message of the movie is clear. it reverberates in my mind.
if only the attitude of dr robert neville be adopted by many of us.
this is ground zero, i am not leaving, i can still do something.
and he did. he had.
we are his legacy.
ah. when was the last time that legacy is so important to us, filipinos.

if only..

then, there might just be a place to call nirvana (or something seemingly close).

i admire his character. it's hard to live life with that kind of conviction, but he did it.
*palakpak*
