Omega Man

The film is about how no matter what if you try hard enough ,even if you are tipping over into the brink of insanity, you will be able to do it. this shows perfectly into this movie because all this broken man wants to do is have his fellow people back, no matter how he achieves this, the 'mad as a box of frogs' man will do it somehow even if he dies trying. To be perfectly honest I love the original omega man, not will smiths remake: I am Legend... oh you didn't know that it was a remake? and a not very good one at that either. your probably looking this and thinking over the plot of I am Legend. yes a lot of  that movie was setting traps and other such things for the monsters. but in The Omega Man the 'monsters' aren't  like traditional zombies like in I Am legend, they're like cultists despising the technology that brought about the end of the world. but again unlike I Am Legend, the main character is hassled by these 'monsters' for being the last memorabilia about the past and how he is different to the 'monsters'. This forces them to set traps for him!!! which is just awesome. Some of the most interesting and thought provoking parts of the film is where you can see that the omega man is caught up in a world of his own creation, an escape from the terrible world outside, and then he sees a dead body... The look of disgust on his face, the sudden plummet back into his hopeless situation and the sudden realisation that whoever he was supposedly talking to, is now long gone or never existed in the first place. And there is one amazing scene where Charlton thinks he can here phones ringing all around him and this shows what kind of state of mind he is in at this scene.
