Great movie with religious undertones?

Rating: 9/10 (31 January 2008)

Simply an awesome movie. The graphics were quite good, especially the extent of the detail in the abandoned city of New York. The soundtrack was also really exciting - whenever the zombies were attacking Will Smith the music would always make it that much freakier. Also i loved the idea of putting in some music that was totally contrary to the whole theme of the movie - as soon as i got home from the movie i downloaded Bob Marley's discography (lol). Smith gave a stunning performance - when he felt like crying so did i, when he laughed i joined him...i basically felt what he felt. And the dog was worthy of at least one Academy award! Congrats to the animal training team.
I just wanted to know if there was anyone else that thought this movie has strong religious undercurrents. While they are subliminal at some times, they were quite obvious to me. An example is in the shot through Robert's kitchen, which pans past the fridge. On the fridge is a Times magazine cover with his face on it, and in big writing the word "Saviour?" Indeed, it turned out that Smith was the Saviour, and although he didn't necessarily believe in God (as was evident in his argument with Anna), he ends up sacrificing himself to protect the cure for the zombies. And then of course we have Anna, who turns every conversation into a religious one, and has a vision from God that turns out coming true. And lets not forget the famous last words of the movie, composed by Bob Marley - "Light up the darkness". Just a thought.
