Chapter 13: Story and Design
The movie I am a legend has many religious atonement atmospheres. Although the protagonist always struggles in adversity, loneliness and despair in the plot, the whole movie carries many doomsday judgments, human atonement plots, and even the movie I am a legend has two endings. One of the endings is that it is a clear explanation that the reason for the ending is all human fault. Although the protagonist survives this ending, all his efforts and struggles have been completely denied by this ending.
Almost most religions fundamentally believe that the existence of human beings is a sin, such as the so-called original sin in the West, and the Eastern religions, which are also suffering. They believe that people are born in the world and are suffering in life. This so-called suffering is actually sin. Suffering is suffering, but in fact, the so-called suffering is suffering.
The reason why religion is so preached is very simple. It is not so unconvincing. Those who are encouraged bring this kind of thought that everyone is guilty of being sinful into all aspects of life, and even have ideas that have brought it to the pinnacle. This idea even wraps a layer of beautiful cloak, which is to promote human beings as parasites on the earth. Human beings destroy the environment, human beings are fighting each other in wars, and human beings are evil, so human beings should be extinct, and God and others are extinction.
This idea was most popular at the end of the 20th century. Chu Hao was still a child. Although due to his life experience, he had never enjoyed various childhood experiences of a normal child since he was a child, he still had some of the longings and hobbies of ordinary children. For example, reading comics while taking a break from the busy road was his greatest pleasure. Many comics in the late 20th century were actually filled with this kind of thought. Bad gods and demons often put the idea that humans are evil and that they were just to destroy humans. Even the protagonists in comics or animations agreed so in their hearts.
Identify your sister!
Even if it was Chu Hao, who was a child, was extremely disdainful when he saw this view appearing. What a joke, he really thought that God was raised by your family?
Will humans accuse the lion of being a grassland parasite because of hunting antelope and bison? Will humans accuse the lion of being evil because the new male lion becomes the leader of the lion group and bit the descendants of the old lion to death? If there is really a god who transcends everything, from beginning to end, omniscient and omnipotent, and has no time to seek outside, then the distance between God and humans must be far beyond humans and lions. God is not even looking at ants when he sees humans. That is a look of the transcendent looking at the unreliable, and it is even more transcendent than when humans look at a pile of sand. Will such a god be destroyed because of what humans do to the earth or to their own tribes?
At most, human technology has made more progress. After obtaining some truth and technology in this universe, God will choose to destroy the world because of this? If this is true, then this God is not a god at all, but a stronger creature. He is afraid that humans will become stronger, and then he will come to destroy humans by the excuse of how evil humans are and how parasites on earth. But that's all, just like if a lion also begins to evolve and may evolve into a wise creature like humans, what humans will do. There is a saying that people, creatures or organizations who do this are bitches and have a archway.
In the movie I am a legend, this impression is constantly reflected. Although it is not clearly stated by the protagonist, there are also supporting actresses who say God's words. In addition, the bullshit second ending and the butterfly that has been looming in the play. The director's intention is very simple, which is to move the connotation of the movie closer to religion and interpret the connotation as the end of the sky because of humans themselves committed their own sins.
Butterflies have a great metaphor in Western biblical religions. They are the name of a fallen angel who accompanies God. This fallen angel is in charge of despair and punishes sinners specifically for God. It is cruel and cruel to even God has mercy on sinners. In the legend of I am, various butterfly signs have always appeared, and even the same butterfly signs appear at the endings. This is the metaphor.
But the sins of human beings!? Even if they are sinful, they are just sins marked by human beings’ own moral standards. What does it have to do with the gods and Buddhas in the sky and the angels in heaven?
Although Chu Hao was in the survivor village before, although there was indeed deception in his words, he said that the scientific words were his true heart. If there was no scientific science, human beings were still primitive people now. If scientific science is wrong and human beings were born was wrong, why not just commit suicide? What kind of Buddha is what to pray for? What kind of Buddha is worshipping gods, what kind of gods, what kind of gods, the reason why human beings have progressed to the top of the earth's biosphere is just the four words of self-improvement. Even if there are so-called gods, Buddhas, angels, Chu Hao also wants to argue for human beings desperately, that human beings are not wrong, and human beings are not guilty!
All these thoughts circled in Chu Hao's mind for a long time, and then he breathed a deep breath, and had already made his own decision in his heart to save the world... Not only to save the world, but if there are really some powerful creatures, the alien plane race intervened in the doomsday catastrophe in this world, it would be amazing. I would really die. Even if I can't fight it now, I will record this hatred. Chu Hao will do nothing immediately and take the team away. After the team is strong, he will come back and kill it or destroy the clan.
This is Chu Hao's great wish, saving the world. Whether it is reality or in this world of reincarnation, the reason why the great wish is a great wish is that it cannot deceive itself. If it can deceive itself, then what is the great wish? It is just a daydream of self-deception.
I don’t mention my thoughts on the way, the hot air balloon is not restricted by the terrain, and I don’t have to worry about the difference between day and night. Although it seems that the whole hot air balloon will fall apart at any time and its flight speed is far less than that of the plane, within a few days, the edge of New York City has appeared in front of everyone.
The situation in New York is not much different from the ruined cities that everyone saw along the way. It is also so decadent and lonely. There is no noise and excitement of the city, only full of loneliness. Hot air balloons fly in the sky. As we go along, everyone's mood is as uncomfortable and silent as before. Moreover, New York City is a super metropolis, and this feeling is stronger than seeing those small towns and towns.
After a while, Zhang Heng took the lead and exclaimed: "I finally know why you are so obsessed with saving the world. If the reality I am in is like this world... Then I think I will go crazy, even if I survive, I will go crazy. If there is something wrong with reality in the future, just call me."
Chu Hao said with a solemn and serious expression: "It's not just you, but if there is a drastic change in reality, I can't say that I will take you all back. Of course, if I don't want to follow, it's just a stranger in the future."
The rest of the people didn't say anything, most of them nodded slightly to a greater or lesser extent, but Stry's face was gloomy, but he didn't know what he was thinking.
It was noon at this moment, and it was the time for the male protagonist, Colonel Robert Nefer, to wait for the survivors at the port. Everyone was excited to meet the legendary male protagonist in this movie. They immediately activated the hot air balloon to hurry to the port. It was only after noon when they arrived. Everyone found a slightly flat place, landed the hot air balloon, and then rushed to the port.
But when everyone arrived at the port, they could not find any trace of people no matter how they searched. The movie was gone without seeing each other. After almost two hours of searching, everyone's face looked very ugly when everyone met again.
As soon as Aoqi saw Chu Hao looking for the return, he immediately said: "No, I searched all my mental power scans several times. Not to mention the protagonist, even a mutant does not exist. This port is very clean. Could it be that we have missed the plot time?"
The plot is based on one's own time. Even if the Reincarnation Team is not joined, the plot will develop on its own. In the movie "I am a Legend", when the protagonist is trapped by a mutant and his dog dies, he never comes to this port again. Then there are two endings of "I am a Legendary Movie". No matter which ending, everyone will never find the colonel protagonist in a short period of time.
After hearing this, Chu Hao raised his eyes and looked around the port. Then he showed a strange and strange expression. He looked at his watch immediately, and then said to everyone: "It's about two hours before the sun sets. If it's a coincidence... Then when we go here, time should have a turnaround..."
Before coming to this world, Chu Hao had already exchanged the map of New York City. Because it was the main god, it must be a fine product. Not only were there various sewers, secret passages, various map instructions in the basement, but also secret government buildings hidden in New York, etc. According to the development of the movie plot, Chu Hao had already known where in New York would be what plot would be triggered. At this moment, he led everyone to... It was the place where the hero encountered a mutant trap crisis and made his dog die.
Everyone was looking for a few fuel-saving cars on the side of the road, and rushed to the place where Chu Hao remembered. When everyone arrived there, before they could see it with their naked eyes, Aoqi's mental power scan had already reflected everything into everyone's mind...
A strong black man was hanging upside down in front of a huge damaged building by a rope. Below the strong man, a big dog was roaring and screaming anxiously. At the same time, in the huge damaged building, there were several mutant dogs and hundreds of mutants. The mutant led by the tall mutant, about two meters and two or three meters, looking at the strong black man fiercely...
The plot time is developing to this point. If everyone comes one day later, they will probably not be able to find the male lead!
Everyone looked at Chu Hao in surprise. They couldn't understand why Chu Hao knew that the plot was developing at this point, but Chu Hao lowered his head slightly. There was an inexplicable light in his eyes, and he just murmured: "No, it's not that I expected the plot to develop at this point... but that the plot just developed at this point, and this plot is waiting for us..."
"Have our behavior... been designed by anyone?"
