I am Legend
Just went to watch a show.
Somethings i have not done for a while....
OK, not as long a while as some other people but...
it was long nonetheless, for us anyway.

I like watching movies. I learn the trade,
Getting involved in the story,
Transported to another country, another millennia
Another dimension...

Naturally there are favourites, you know,
actors, directors, producers
Story lines, settings even.

I've learnt to appreciate
the cinematography
the angle of a shoot and so on
much more than before.

Anyway......
Went to watch "I am Legend"
Totally loved it!!!

Not just because it was
Will Smith starring in it
It was a plausible plot
Interesting scenary....
Just can't imagine New York
Overgrown with grass &
... Empty...

I loved the labouring of point
that Will Smith set up
Mannequins.
Dressed them
Put them in strategic places
and....
Talked to them
Like they were real

In an environment
Where the only other living thing
Was his dog (to which he also addressed)
This is a normal attempt to
Keep sane by trying to normalise
Things to the best of one's ability

C'mon, we all do that!
We talk to ourselves
We argue with ourselves,
"Thinking out loud"....
and I like that in the show
Showing his discipline
and attempt in keeping himself
sane and rational.

The ending was sad
Guess it's predicted
But sad....

Why would some people
find the show boring?
Is it because Will Smith was
primarily the only person you see
Best part of the 2 hours?

I was so interested in finding out
What he was running from
It didn't really bother me...

What I find interesting was that
Despite being the only person alive
He wants to keep it that way
& didn't give up living
Nor did he give up the reason
Why he was living for.

.........
Nor should we
