“I am Legend” is a 2007 post-apocalyptic science fiction horror film directed by Francis Lawrence and starring Will Smith. Smith plays Robert Neville, who thinks he may be Earth’s only surviving human not affected by a vicious man-made virus. He works to create a cure while living in New York City with mutant victims of the virus. The story starts in 2012, when a genetically re-engineered measles virus, originally created to cure cancer, turned into a sickly virus that infected humans and some animals. The species that were infected turned into a mean aggressive state and reacted painfully to UV radiation, forcing them to hide in dark places until sundown. The survivors were hunted and killed by the infected.
Neville’s daily routine is to try to find a cure for the deadly virus, and trips through the city to find food and supplies. He waits each day for a response from his automated radio broadcast, which instructs any human not infected to meet him mid day at South Street Seaport. Flashbacks reveal that his wife and daughter had previously died during the evacuation of New York City. Neville is alone except for his dog, Samantha (Sam), and mannequins that he set up in the video store, and recordings of old news and entertainment broadcasts.
Neville tries many various solutions to kill the virus that was previously spread. He finally captures one of the infected females and tries to treat her repeatedly. After many trials, he finally made the infected woman feel better and back to normal. By this time, an infected male had come and attacked Neville’s home. He then retreats to his laboratory in the basement of his house, and sacrifices his life to kill all the infected people by pulling the pin on a hand grenade.

Directed by Paul Haggis, the movie Crash is full of distinguished actors and actresses, including Sandra Bullock, Matt Dillon, Brendan Fraser, Terrence Howard, Ryan Phillippe and many more. The issues of race and gender cause several groups of strangers from Los Angeles, California to come together in a plot that makes us think of our own beliefs and morals. Each stranger has their own story to tell; an African American police detective whose brother is a street criminal and whose girlfriend is Hispanic, an L.A district attorney, whose wife’s worst fears of people pf color comes into effect when they are high-jacked by two African Americans. She later judges a young Hispanic locksmith as being a gang member when he is really a loving and devoted father who comes close to losing his daughter because of an enraged Middle Eastern shopkeeper, whose shop was broken into, and he thinks it’s because the locksmith didn’t do his job. Many other people of different ethnicities are intertwined and each learns a thing or two about the treatment of others and how the simplicity of communication and acceptance can save a person’s life.
