I watched the 2011 film “Contagion” at the beginning of the pandemic. But there was hope for a better generation. There were so many lives lost in the pandemic. The population heals itself, and the world moves on past the virus. The last few minutes of the film focus on the discovery and distribution of a vaccine. But, “Contagion” has a different message than “I Am Legend.” It ended with hope. We connect with that because we are going through something similar. A virus moves from bats to pigs to humans. “Contagion” is a perfect example of this. Pandemic films have existed for years, and many of them center around a virus spreading and a cure finding its way to the people. But this one is really hard to watch right now because a potential cure for cancer - a vaccine - did not work. It’s another pandemic film that shows us how bad pandemics can be. It wouldn’t be surprising if someone wanted to watch this film since it’s a pandemic film and we’re all still living in a pandemic. Neville seeks to undo the disaster that cursed the human population, one he feels responsible for. He lives in New York City by himself as he seeks out a cure for the disease for the pandemic.

Meanwhile, 9% became zombies and 1% survived as normal.Įnter Robert Neville, a scientist who becomes the lone survivor of this human-made plague. But it turned out to be lethal and killed 90% of the world’s population. In the film, scientists thought they had created a cure for cancer through a reengineered measles virus. “I Am Legend” is a post-apocalyptic story that shows what happens after a human-made virus spreads throughout the world. Of course, I can’t relate to zombies or being the last man on Earth or being as good-looking as Will Smith. So I decided to watch “I Am Legend” again to see if there was anything in the film I could relate to. So many lives lost and lives changed forever. We’re currently in the second year of a deadly pandemic. What would that world be like? What would it be like to live in a pandemic or in a world where there was a virus? Was that even possible? I thought the same thing whenever we’d read about the Spanish flu in high school. When “I Am Legend” came out in 2008, I always wondered what it’d be like to live in that kind of a world.
