I Am Legend, Starring Will Smith - Spiritual Themes

Every zombie movie has the potential to illustrate the ugliness of sin. Zombies are formerly pleasant, hard working, honest people, especially at Turn animal, bloodthirsty bats. Apparently someone has the potential to become a zombie. Resident Evil, for example, explains zombification through latent brain waves that the body enough energy to run around, except only as senseless beasts. After Resident Evil, people with no restrictions like beasts.
Zombie Moviesare ideal for frightening people, because they portray an everyday world gone wrong. The people who clambered you thought that you have confidence now to tear your throat with his teeth.

I Am Legend is a very good job to show the spiritual implications of such a biological disaster. There are hints throughout the film, God forbid, in the forefront of the action.

(Note: The following paragraphs might spoil plot of the film, if you've never seen!)

At the beginning ofthe film, Will Smith defends God's call, saying that the people imposed this disaster on themselves. Later, after he takes a few years of loneliness and fear, in a civilization without a civilized man, he struggles with this conviction.

Toward the end of the film, a young Cuban woman saved his life and claims that God led her to find him just in time. She goes on, as if we only listen, we will hear the voice of God. Out of pent-up frustration from years of fruitless labor,Smith calls back to the woman that God does not exist. Before the end of the film, but Smith thinks about the words of the young woman and comes back. In fact, his belief in the divine plan of God is again so dramatically that he sacrifices his life, the woman escapes with her son and the cure of the disease.

It is realistic that a man would fight in the circumstances of Smith with his faith. The fact that his remarkable experiences makes test and finally to strengthen his faithwhole ordeal worthwhile.

A recurring theme is: "Where is God when bad things happen?" The response of I Am Legend: "We should not blame God for our mistakes." There are posters in the deserted city scenes, the "God loves us say, we do love him?" Another poster shows the Sistine Chapel by Michelangelo, except when used the hand of man, and back to God, it's a gun pointing to another god.
