Warning, I am Legend SPOILER BELOW.
Speaking of "Human Drama" I meant to post this in the [I am Legend] conversation. I did discover one interesting and somewhat disturbing thing about our current human culture from that movie and that is how desensitized we have become to witnessing human death in movies and TV.
Not that there was a lot of human death in this movie (after all, he was the last man on earth through most of it) but I realized it when the Dog died. We probably see a dramatized human death every day if we watch TV and we don't even blink but when his loyal dog died, I had to fight back the tears.
Now, Yes, I am a dog lover but I'd like to think I value human lives more than canine lives. So why did this effect me so much?
