"The real God is nature, but there are never only humans in nature." - "I am Legend".
"I Am Legend" is actually adapted from the novel by American writer Richard Maison. It tells the story of the world being destroyed due to a virus, and only a few hundred humans with antibodies left alive in the world.
The protagonist lives alone in an empty city while studying the serum of the virus.
We also need to constantly fight against the humans who come from the dark and are infected and mutated by the virus.
In the end, the protagonist defeated the virus and became a legend.
The plot of the 2007 movie directed by Francis Lawrence and starring Will Smith is very similar.
A man named Dr. Cleburne adhered to the idea of "redesigning things created by nature and making them work for the human body instead of against the human body." He modified the measles virus and successfully eliminated cancer and cured the disease.
Countless people.
But later, the measles virus mutated, and almost everyone was infected, turning into a hairless monster with infinite strength, a higher body temperature than ordinary people, and could only walk at night.
This kind of life is called "Dark Seeker" in the movie.
Yes, Darkseekers sound very similar to zombies, but they are essentially different from zombies.
The bodies of Dark Seekers are relatively intact, unlike zombies where most of the bodies are damaged and mutilated.
Moreover, the Dark Seekers are agile, extremely fast, and possess extremely high intelligence.
Based on what's going on in the movie, Darkseeker even has emotions.
In the movie, Colonel Robert Neville lives alone in an deserted city with his partner Samantha (a dog) in order to fight against the virus.
For three years, for three years, Robert didn't see anyone. He even placed the mannequins in the store on the road and in the store as if they were living people.
His spirit was almost broken.
Later, Samantha also died, and Robert almost went crazy.
It was not until later that Robert met two more survivors, and his experiment finally succeeded.
He found a way to turn the Darkseekers back into humans.
But he was also discovered by the Dark Seekers at this time, and the Dark Seekers kept attacking.
So far, the movie has two endings.
In the first one, Robert asked the other two survivors to hide with the serum, and then detonated the bomb himself and died with the Dark Seekers.
In the end, the two survivors took Robert's serum and saved everyone, and Robert became a legend.
Second, Robert respected the Darkseeker's wishes, and the Darkseeker took his companion away without harming Robert.
Robert took the other two survivors and left the city.
There are both endings in The Nineteenth Level of Hell. Meng Nan and Hao Yue watched it many times, constantly thinking about all the situations that might occur in this horror movie world.
The most important thing is to keep guessing what the purpose of this horror movie is.
It can be said that these recent movies have completely disrupted Meng Nan's original understanding of the role of horror films.
In horror movies of the past, they only had to think about how to defeat their opponents.
But now, it seems that the horror movies they are in are no longer just about defeating the ghosts and monsters in them, but have become more demanding of thinking.
After discussing it, an idea slowly emerged in the minds of Meng Nan and the others.
If we talk about the movie "I Am Legend", the Dark Seekers are not really particularly dangerous.
It's not particularly dangerous after at least three years.
From the lions, deer and birds in the city, we can see that the Darkseekers are not like zombies, attacking all life around them indiscriminately.
Even if humans don't actively provoke the Darkseekers, then the Darkseekers don't seem to take the initiative to search for and attack humans.
So what exactly is the purpose of "I Am Legend"?
Think of the five-dimensional world involved in "Another Dimension Killing Formation", the spiritual power in "The Mist", and the natural disasters in "The Day After Tomorrow".
Meng Nan speculated that "I Am Legend" may lead them to the issue of the relationship between humans and dark seekers.
Should we help humans eliminate the Darkseekers, or should we help the Darkseekers eliminate humans?
Perhaps this is the real difficulty of this horror film.
Soon, seven days have passed.
During these seven days, Meng Nan not only trained Haoyue and Menglonglong's physical fitness, but also began to train Haoyue and Menglonglong how to sneak, how to lay traps and how to break them.
After all, according to the movie, the Dark Seekers already have the wisdom to lay traps.
After seven days completely passed, Meng Nan finally entered the world of "I Am Legend".
What I saw before me was a deserted scene, with no one on the road.
The weeds on the road have grown half a meter high, and countless birds are perching on the ground on the road not far away.
Turning around and looking around, Meng Nan didn't see the shadows of Haoyue and Menglonglong, which made Meng Nan feel a little uneasy.
You know, among so many horror movies, situations like this only appear in the world of "Saw" and "Cycle of Terror".
According to the experience of these two worlds, if they are not together from the beginning, then I am afraid they will not meet again in the future.
In other words, whether it is Meng Nan, Hao Yue, Hao Yue, or other newcomers who may exist, I am afraid they will have to fight alone.
Walking carefully on the wide road, Meng Nan came to the city. On the wall of a tall building, there was a sentence spray-painted in color: "God never gave up on mankind."
After Meng Nan saw this sentence, he shook his head and was unconvinced about the idea.
After staying in hell for so long, Meng Nan had already figured out one thing.
Leaving aside whether God really exists, why do humans think that they are special in the eyes of God?
As Lao Tzu says in his "Tao Te Ching":
"Heaven and earth are not benevolent, and regard all things as stupid dogs.
The sage is unkind and treats the common people as stupid dogs.
Between heaven and earth, is it still like a scorpion?
If it is empty, it will not bend; if it moves, it will get better.
It is better to keep the center than to talk too much."
In the eyes of heaven and earth, there is no difference between everything, so heaven and earth will never give up anything, and they will never care about anything.
Everything, in the final analysis, is just human beings doing their own thing.
While he was thinking about it, Meng Nan's expression suddenly became serious. He stood up straight and looked around constantly.
In the surrounding grass, Meng Nan could faintly see the silhouette of wild beasts.
Meng Nan took a deep breath, stretched out his foot and kicked it, and a steel pipe fell into his hand...
