    Our film was an adaption of I Am Legend by Richard Matheson. We had three parts in the film, the introduction to the world, Neville meeting Ruth, Neville and Ruth having dinner.

We decided that Neville and Ruth’s relationship would be the easiest to portray on screen since we only needed two actors. The…

    In I am Legend, Richard Matheson depicted Robert Neville as another man in another life before the plague broke out. He was a father as well as a husband.

Solitude was his only…

For centuries, human societies have tended to assign different roles, codes of behavior and thoughts for men and women.

    intended by the author. To the naked eye, the theme of survival would be the most outstanding theme in both Michael Crichton’s, ‘Jurassic Park’, and Francis Lawrence’s 2007 movie adaption of the book ‘I am legend’. In both these texts, the author places the characters in a dangerous situation instigated by science. In Jurassic Park, the ego-manic John Hammond, uses DNA to recreate prehistoric animals that just like their ancestors carry the instincts to hunt and survive. In I am legend, a man…

    I kept my cool walking out of my manager’s office. Keeping my emotions off my face has never been particularly difficult for me. However, at this moment the struggle was real. I slightly clenched my hand and flashed a fake smile while walking past my co-workers and their gray dull cubicles. The second I was out of the office, I dropped the smile and continued the 15 minute walk to my car. A small hint of relief hit me when I entered my car. I could finally release this pent-up energy inside and…
