Self Selected Response

My SSR is on the movie "I am legend". I Am Legend is a 2007 American post-apocalyptic science fiction horror film   starring Will Smith. It is based of the 1954 novel of the same name, following 1964's "The Last Man on Earth" and 1971's "The Omega Man." Smith plays Scientist Robert Neville, who is immune to a man-made virus originally created to cure cancer. He works to create a   remedy while defending himself against mutants created by the virus. This movie has been one of my favorite movies ever since it came out. Every single time i watch this movie, it always seems to catch my attention. I could honestly watch this over and over again.  This is one of my favorite movies because not only does it have alot of eye catching action but  Will Smith delivers a good role and really focuses on giving us a picture of "what it would be like"  to be the last man on earth, living off the land in NYC. This is the real strength of this movie; there's really not a lot of blood or gore or zombie scenes at all. Yet I was fascinated as Robert goes through his "typical days" in NYC. Every moment was full of jeopardy. And occasionally we got some relief from Smith's trademark humor that blended seamlessly with the rest of his performance to give us "what it would be like" with a powerful delivery that just takes our breath.

  1. What about it catches your attention? That phrase is vague, so you should try to avoid it in your writing.
