Last night I saw the movie “I Am Legend”, starring Will Smith, in Imax. First of all, it was a pretty decent movie, more or less what I expected from it. So I would definitely recommend it if you like post-apocalyptic movies like 28 Days Later. Anyways, the reason why I’m making a blog about it is because many of the scenes in the movie reminded me of conversations we’ve had in class about the Wilderness. After a deadly virus had spread throughout New York and killed all of its inhabitants expect for the Fresh Prince of Belair, the city eventually became a Wilderness, overrun with plants and even wild animals such as deer and lions. Although I’m not quite sure how lions came into the picture…I guess a few got loose from the zoo, survived the disease, and started mating? Anyways, it was interesting to see the city in the state it had degraded into. It was almost as though the Wilderness was finally taking back the land that humans had stolen from it, and thoroughly polluted with technology and civilization.
