Movie: I Am Legend

Quite enjoyed this apocolyptic movie starring Will Smith as the last man on Earth after a virus wiped out humanity. The depection of an overgrown and uninhabited New York is well done, the rest fairly standard Zombie-type fare.

" in perhaps fifty years, sixty years, we can finish completely this civilization, and offer to our children the possibility to invent a new story, a new poetry, a new romanticism. With billions of people who have been born, worked, lived, and died before us, these people who have worked so much, we have now bring beautiful things, beautiful gifts, we know so many things. We can say to our children, OK, done, that was our story. That passed. Now you have a duty. Invent a new story. Invent a new poetry. The only rule is, we have not to have any idea about the next story. We give you white pages. Invent. We give you the best tools, the best tools, and now, do it. That's why I continue to work, even if it's for toilet brush."
