David and I saw "I am Legend" today. It was a good, scary, move, and Will Smith does a fine job as always.
Rebecca Cusey, who blogs at The American Culture notes that there are some theological messages in the film. Like Job, the Will Smith character questions the existence of God when he is faced with trials and tribulations. Even when he comes into contact with another human being, he instead puts his faith in Bob Marley, who has a more secular hope of racial harmony. I noticed some subtle crosses in the movie too, which traditionally are believed to ward off vampires.
