"I am Legend"

Watched the movie " I am Legend" this afternoon.Left the cinema with a heavy heart.

Will Simth is a very good actor. Basically, it is a one-man show. He is able to portray the feelings of being the sole survivor very well-the feeling of loneliness,the hope of meeting other survivors etc. I shed a few tears when his dog -Sam died......

The reason why I left the cinema feeling down is because there is a possibility that such a plague might actually happen. Of course, the possibilty of human turning into vampires or monstors is low. However, millions of people might die. Think of the Ebola, Sars and bird flu. If these illnesses are to spread like wild fire, will the human race have a chance to "retaliate", to come up with a vaccine in a short time? Will it be like the Flu Epidemic that took place in 1918, where miliions died? ......
I could not help but wonder. Just the thought of it sends shivers down my spine. Human beings might actually be the ones that bring about the downfall of mankind. Moral of the story - Do not play GOD.
