I'm going to introduce "I Am Legend". This movie was released in the USA in 2007. This film was set in New York. New York fell into ruin from a virus which came from a medicine for cancer.
However, while this medicine saved a lot of lives, some people suffered from a symptom like a rabies. From this side affect, they found that medicine changed into a virus. This virus caused death. Infected people were called "Dark Seekers" in this story. Their weak point is sunlight but they have great physical ability. Preying on healthy humans is their main aim.

    Flaws of Contagion

    In 2011, the blockbuster, Contagion, was released, featuring several prominent actors. In summary, the movie is the story of a father who loses his wife and son to a completely brand new virus. This new virus, dubbed MEV-1, originated from a bat in Hong Kong. The bat bit a fruit then dropped it into a pigpen infecting the pig that consumed the fruit with the bat’s virus. While pig was prepped to be cooked, the chef touched the pig’s mouth, getting virus on his hand and shakes the hands of woman, Beth, making her patient zero for MEV-1. The disease then spread to others who come in contact with Beth or Beth’s belongings. After the CDC realized the existence of this virus, they promptly started researching it. After several days of research, scientists were able to determine that the virus was “15 to 19 kilobases in length and containing six to ten genes, typical of a paramyxovirus” containing genes from bats and pigs, which attach to receptors found on cells in the respiratory and the central nervous system. The virus is seemingly able to be contracted through the respiratory tract, but kills the host by making its way to the brain and causing encephalitis. The vaccine for the virus was developed by first growing the virus in fetal bat cells in culture, propagating and isolating, and finally inoculating rhesus monkeys with attenuated and dead forms of the virus. Out of desperation for working vaccine, after observing one monkey surviving during the vaccination trials, one of the researchers injected herself with the tested vaccine given to the surviving chimp. By doing so, she skipped the entire clinical trials portion of developing vaccines and had the vaccine fastracked to be mass-produced.…

    Some of the major people include Andy Warhol, played by David Bowie (RIP), who was his mentor, and Rene Ricard, played by Michael Wincott, was an art critic and poet. His most steady relationship is with Gina, a waitress that he met and drew in syrup on a table at the cafe she worked in. She is played by Claire Forlani. Basquait interacts with many other people as well. Some in an inspirational, such as the limo driver that conversed with, but also some people negatively. He believed that the white woman he worked for as an electricians assistant looked down at him because she didn’t know his name, and asked him to move things out of the way for her. He also thought that people should know him because of his art and graffiti that marked many streets.…

    I Am Legend Analysis

    Whether regarded by viewers as the worse or greatest movie to date, the “I Am Legend” movie in my opinion addresses numerous social issues that we as a society face and should be more aware of in today’s era. According to Imdb.com, “The ‘I Am Legend’ movie starring renowned actor Will Smith focusses on “a scientist named Robert Neville who is incapable of stopping the horrible virus once created to cure cancer. At first, the virus looked promising and was given to cancer patients to treat their disease but few years down the line it transformed into a plague which killed most of the people on earth or turned them into zombies. Neville is the only unaffected human survivor in New York and the world, for many years he has been sending out daily…

    Literature And Film In Horror Essay

    Ever since Georges Melies wrote and directed the two minute film called Le Manoir Du Diable, the film scene has been all about horror, even today. Horror films were created when trying to figure out someone’s fears and nightmares. America was a large part of the upcoming horror films in history. “America was home to the first Frankenstein and Jekyll and Hyde movie adaptations, the most influential horror films through the 1920s400 came from Germany's Expressionist movement, with films like The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari and Nosferatu influencing the next generation of American cinema.”(Harris, Mark H) Soon in the 1930’s some famous classic horror films came out, such as, the Hunchback of Notre Dame and The Phantom of the Opera. By the 1970’s most of the horror films were made for scares and not so much a plot for the story.…

    Examples Of Civil Disobedience

    Since the founding of the United States, the founding fathers feared a government that would become too authoritarian. To contrast this, they allowed the right to protest in the First Amendment. However, protesting usually does not do enough. Often, civil disobedience is necessary to provoke conversation about sometimes immoral societal norms. Many examples include Edward Snowden, Chelsea Manning, Rosa Parks, and others.…

    City Of God Essay

    The film that I chose to watch and analyze is the Brazilian film City of God. The movie takes place in one of Rio de Janeiro’s 500 favelas, a favela known as the City of God. The name of the city is disturbingly ironic, as most of the activities that take place in the slum are decidedly ungodly. The movie, spanning three decades, chronicles the lives of some of the residents, most adolescent, from their pre-pubescent years to their upbringing into the criminal underworld.…

    I Am Legend Summary

    In I Am Legend, Lieutenant Colonel Robert Neville (Will Smith) is possibly the last living man on earth since the outbreak of a genetically-engineered variant of the measles virus that causes victims to become predatory and vampiric beings. He roams the barren streets of New York with his trusty companion, Sam, to find food and supplies for survival in this dreadful time. Amidst the silent, but overbearing time, Robert Neville test serums on lab rats in hopes to find a cure for the infected humans. While hunting for food one day, Neville and Sam come into contact with a group of “Darkseekers” and nearly lose their lives in a petrifying incident. After almost dying, the officer comes up with the idea to capture one of the infected to test his cures on. To set the trap, Neville laid a tarp out that was rigged to collapse when triggered. Since the “Darkseekers” are attracted to blood, he broke a vile of his own blood on the tarp to draw them in. After capturing a female victim, he takes…
