CLIP DESCRIPTION:
Robert (Will Smith) realizes that the infected still have a shred of humanity and that he is the one who has been the monster for taking and experimenting on them.
FILM DESCRIPTION:
Adapted from acclaimed author Richard Matheson's influential novelette of the same name, Constantine director Francis Lawrence's I Am Legend follows the last man on Earth as he struggles to survive while fending off the infected survivors of a devastating vampiric plague. A brilliant scientist who raced to discover a cure for the man-made virus as humanity came crumbling down all around him, Robert Neville (Will Smith) was inexplicably immune to the highly contagious superbug. Now the entire population of New York City -- and perhaps the world -- has been transformed into carnivorous bloodsuckers that fear the light and live solely to spread their contagion to any remaining living creature that crosses their path. It's been three years since civilization came to an end, and the loneliness has taken a devastating toll on Neville. By day he scours the city for food and supplies while sending out desperate radio messages in hopes that someone might respond, and by night he attempts to find a way to reverse the effects of the virus by experimenting with his own blood. But time is running out for Neville as the legions of infected watch his every move from the safety of the shadows, waiting for the perfect moment to strike. They, too, long to learn the secret that lurks in Neville's blood, though they will have to take caution while attempting to procure it because Neville will sooner die attempting to slay every last one of them than willingly giving up a single drop. Previously adapted for the screen in the 1964 Vincent Price frightener The Last Man on Earth and the 1971 Charlton Heston action film The Omega Man, Matheson's novelette also served as the inspiration for George A. Romero's groundbreaking zombie classic Night of the Living Dead.

This ending is way more in line with the novel. That he is the monster. He is their legend of a monster who only comes out during the day to kill them in their sleep. It's one of the best twists I've ever read in a novel, and it's a shame the movie shied away from that and made them mindless zombies.

The true ending, from the book... is much scarrier. It has the woman sell Neville out to the monsters. It turns out the monsters where not only intelligent, they had their own society. They where more like vampires than actual zombies. Neville's experiments made him look like a monster to them. So they sent the woman to find out his location. When she does, they came and took him in his sleep to their compound. Where he was to be tried in a court for his crimes. He is found guilty of murder and experimenting on live subjects. And sentenced to death. The woman comes to apologize for the deception, and gives him a pill to make his death painless. In his last moment, he says to himself: " In the end, I am the monster. I am the one they feared. I AM LEGEND"

They just want to be left alone. Yet here was this boogeyman who wouldn't take the hint, trespassing on their territory and kidnapping one of their own.

2:50 Humanizing the vampires was a nice touch and this shot really pokes at the heart. They go from simply being test subjects to having a real identity: somewhere all of those subjects had someone they cared for in a communal sense. Brothers, sisters, friends and now we see they are capable of having emotions. They weren’t just angry and completely barbaric, The main vampire seemed to be hurt and discomfort by seeing his mate in a state of pain and I only imagine that seeing hundreds of his kind on a wall as test subjects, presumed to be dead, only made him even more furious. Yet they had enough of a moral conscious to let him go. This is the ending they should have went with, it would have been a great twist and a even better message: Don’t get so caught up in fighting monsters that you become one.

[@donegal7]

At 2:49 that shot/moment is what makes this ending great. You can feel the rage from the alpha male in his scream, and the transition to Neville's face, but not just Neville's face, but focusing on the number of people/darkseekers that neville has killed in the process of trying to find a cure; the number of people that would be considered family to the alpha male and his 'followers'; and at the end of it, the darkseekers were the ones who were able to walk away from the conflict, as seen here, which further reinforces the book ending which paints Neville as the villain. Beautiful film, I only wish that this was the confirmed real ending of I Am Legend rather than the typical hollywood crap we got in the original ending.

[@primary2630]

He says he's sorry and he roars at him with the reflection of dozens upon dozens of autopsy photos of his kind hanging on the wall in background. I thought it was more like, "oh, really, you're sorry now?" because Neville had already tested upon dozens if not hundreds of infected by this point. edit: I also don't think they see his actions as "helping" because the human race is extinct. He's a menace to their kind, but they understand his perspective, trying to save humanity.

[@stupid47]

Actually, he likely realized that he was forced into his situation pretty much like they were forced into theirs, and both of them were only trying to survive in a world that had shafted both of them. The infected were not out of line for being angry at Neville's numerous indiscretions, but the alpha male likely surmised it wasn't much different than what they were doing, and I guess that's why he chose to spare him.

@@TheCrisses although I think the hints were a bit too subtle, they could have perhaps shown a bit more of the social dynamic and cooperation between the vampires themselves and one more scene of a vampire being emotionally driven, rather than pure lust for blood/aggression, which the rest of the scenes seem to imply. then the alternative ending would have been perfect

[@TheCrisses]

@@Banjo-ed5vv I'm going to respectfully disagree on needing more hints. The subtlety is what makes a movie re-watchable. "Wait! How could that be? Now I have to watch it again!!" Then as you watch it again, you notice things you didn't see last time. It's an art of putting the details in without making them too obvious. Another part of the trap that was set was the bait. They knew Neville was attached to the mannequins. But wait, his routine had him in that store in broad daylight. They were WATCHING him, even during the day. They picked a bait that was low-risk for them, as opposed to say the dog which would have been a much more obvious choice, but far more risky for them to acquire.

[@dresden9727]

Such an amazing scene! That cut to the wall filled with pictures of his experiments is just chilling, and it really helps sink in just how atrocious his actions actually were and how horrific he must have seemed to the creatures!. While we initially saw his tests as hope to save others, in the end he was actually an unstable scientist experimenting on and ultimately killing sentient beings who weren't even bothering him. This ending flips the script; making the hero into a villain and hits you like a ton of bricks :)

[@AlecBaldwinsTriggerFinger]

I still don't understand why people are presented with the concept of perspective, and rather than reflecting on that, you just revert to looking at things purely from the other side you previously ignored. He's not the villain. He's their villain, sure. But to him, they're his. And they're also the villain to all of their kind that they consider primitive / feral, and are wiping out themselves. Like in the book the vampires do the exact same thing at a larger scale.

[@dresden9727]

@@AlecBaldwinsTriggerFinger Fair point, though I wasn't saying he is the ultimate vilain of anything, only "a" vilain. Just pointing out that this ending makes things much less black and white. He is a hero for humans, but also a monster to the other species, which is especially poignant when you realize that they are capable of though. My first comment is more about elaborating on the creature's perspective, not simply discounting everything the main character was trying to accomplish. I just enjoyed the fact that the film showed the other side of things and showed how something initially seen as righeous can be atrocious from another perspective. For example, say an action hero kills an enemy trying to get into his home and then you find out that said enemy was fighting for a very undesrtanding reason, like trying to save his friend or get medecine for a loved one.

This here, is what the book wanted us to realise. He was their nightmare their legend. The focus on the pictures of his failed test subjects, their kin, has enormous weight. The book elaborates on this beautifuly, but the imagery, the significance of this scene shows, he was their boogeyman.

[@TheSebssx]

I think the other ending (not this one) better match with the book. In the book they execute him. In the book he is not their legend because he is their nightmare but because he truly is the last human on Earth. He is a legend because when they kill him, the human race ceases to exist. But anyway the book and the movie are totally different...

[@_Eunoia_]

@@TheSebssx Nah, he's supposed to be the monster in the book too. The Legend is twofold - he's one of the last humans, but is also a monster who captures and ruthlessly experiments on these other living beings in his single-minded focus to find a cure, even though after studying the creatures he acknowledges from a scientific standpoint that they exhibit intelligence/behaviours superior to animals and have an ability to form a social hierarchy. To the creatures, he's the monster.

I'm sure there's more of this explained in the book, but to me, just for the movie, the original seemed to make more sense.

[@whensomethingcriesagain]

Well that's the whole point, the assumptions about their condition were all wrong. They're not monsters, they’re as intelligent and sapient as humans are, and it reframes their acts of violence as defending themselves from a human race that's trying to destroy them.

[@anonymousbo0318]

Thays cause you're slow. The fact they didn't just rip him apart is the entire point of the story. The vampires aren't mindless, and they're not baseless monsters. Some blindly attack, some don't. They're post humans who are rebuilding society in their own way. Neville literally has pictures all over his walls of test subjects that he hunted and taken to experiment on. To them, he's the monster.

[@Comictalent]

The reason they didn’t just rip him apart is because when Neville starts opening the door the main creature looks back and roars at the others as if he’s telling the others to stop, same with when the one guy is getting up in his face and you hear him roar at him again, they don’t attack him because the one with the girlfriend is ordering them not to

They communicate, can form bonds, and even understand mercy and forgiveness. It also completes Neville's arc, where he learns to accept that what's done is now done for good, that these beings don't want or need saving anymore, and that he's harmed them collectively more than he ever helped them. I think this movie would be considered a classic if they went with this ending, rather than hold the mixed reputation it has now.

The main hunter is just this Stories version of Rose: a Vampire far more intelligent than Robert has ever dealt with, aiming to avenge their loved one, but end up seeing why Robert is the way he is. And just like the books the other Vampires are very very Aggressive to Robert, hence why in the movie the Main Hunter has to call them off several times in only a few minutes, and why in the book Rose was unable to plead Roberts case to the rest. Its not an exact copy, gender swapped, and in a completely different city (Robert couldn't get out of LA in just a single day in the novel, while NYC Robert can leave whenever he wants)

I like how it emphasizes that from their point of view, he was the villain. Like when the camera pans to the photos, I imagine that if the lead infected could talk, he would say “I should kill you for all you’ve done to us.”

[@lonely_roberts4971]

Charles L. Janson First of 1. His sacrifice didn’t make sense. He could throw the grenade and run away with the woman. So he could survive 2. The message is that the entire time that he thought he was the good guy and the monsters was the bad guys. He realizes that he wasn’t and that the monsters was the actual ones that were innocent. The *monster/creature* just broke in there to get his girlfriend. He didn’t wanna hurt him ,and the way they show that is great. But HEY a sacrifice that doesn’t make sense and a wasted ending. It’s Hollywood. They do that

I saw a great documentary on Sci-Fi and they talk about this movie at one point. Will Smith said that he loved this ending because it's similar (not exact) to the book about the concept that he saw them as monsters, but from their point of view, he's a monster. But Will Smith said the audience was just short of booing. Which is too bad, because I actually prefer this ending. I think the other ending is too, how some say "sugar coated." What I didn't like about the theatrical ending was finding out how there are so many people that were still alive. I'm okay with their being "some" survivors, but not a whole colony. The extension of this ending has Robert, Anna, and Ethan going out to search for more survivors. Will they find more survivors? Maybe, maybe not, that's for you to decide.

[@potaterjim]

People booed this ending?? But the whole movie builds up to it! There's no accounting for taste.

[@WeylandYutaniCorp91]

@@potaterjim I'm assuming you're meaning how the Alpha Hunter is trying to get his love back from Nevill throughout the movie. Which when watching it with this ending, I can see that. Also, the theatrical edition cuts out where he tells Anna how the monsters don't know the concept of love or thinking. I guess they cut that out because in this ending, we see they are capable of love, and they are more human than he realized, and the theatrical ending was meant to imply the reverse, which is, they're just monsters and he's is meant to exterminate them.

[@Myth_or_Mystery76]

@@Myth_or_Mystery76 Yes and no. In the book, Nevill does find a woman, if I remember correctly, he later finds out that she’s a new evolved form of the monsters, and there are more others like her who saw Nevill as a monster killing some of them mistaking her people for the primitive ones.

In the book He was the evil one, these creatures are some form of vampires and they have their own form of communication and civilization. They are still alive with thoughts and feelings. And bc he hunted them and made so many of them go missing due to his experiments (which often had fatal results) he became a “legend” to them. I like the way the camera pans at 2:51 showcasing the outcome of his research bc seldom ever survived and the way you can hear the pain and agony in the creature’s voice was done so well.

[@zonesquestiloveunderworld]

​@@mckymcobvious3043Indeed. Executives and marketers never seem to learn that these alterations they insist upon are _almost always_ detrimental to the film - like 96.999% of the time. They always think they're "in tune" with the audience and what's "hip" and "relatable". They really need to drop the ego and leave it all to the creatives, the ones who actually have a vision. But unfortunately, expecting an overpaid executive to drop the ego is like expecting a train at a bus stop. 😅
