      @@YoureMrLebowski I think better that than people talking over it and missing stuff. Especially if it's something funny. There's plenty of videos I've seen where the person misses jokes or doesn't know what's happening because they keep talking over it rather than pausing it to say something.

    The thing people always seem to miss in this movie is that, while different from the book, the darkseekers (the zombies) in the movie are not mindless. They've certainly regressed considerably from modern humans, but they still have social hierarchies, territorial behaviors, interpersonal relationships, and the ability to understand and use tools. They understood how the trap Will Smith used on them actually worked, and managed to rebuild it using the tools and parts he left behind. They also understood enough about Will's behavior and mental state to know "Fred" would work well as bait for the trap. The whole reason they start attacking Will is because he snatched the alpha's mate, or possibly child, and the alpha wants them back.
    The part with "Fred" being in that random spot really shows that Will is teetering on the edge of insanity from sheer isolation and lack of human contact, yet there's enough in him to realize that something's wrong and that Fred couldn't possibly show up out there without being moved there...Will knows he didn't move Fred, and to the best of his knowledge, he's the last person alive in the world (he doesn't count the darkseekers because he thinks they're mindless, he says as much in his little vlogs...clearly sociology and anthropology are not areas that he's studied much). So that scene is him starting to question if he's completely lost it or not, which lowers his guard and lets him walk right into what should've been an obvious trap for him. Pretty genius writing, really.

    In the alternate ending(which is more faithful to the novel), it turns out the leader just wanted to rescue his mate, who was captured by Neville. Realizing that the darkseekers still have humanity in them and feel love and compassion, Neville feels terrible for experimenting on and killing dozens of them for a cure, he realizes that he is, and always was, the true monster in this new world. The leader reluctantly spares his life in gratitude and leaves with his mate and pack.

So him suddenly deciding to be empathetic towards them and then the creatures choosing not to rip him to shreds just comes out of nowhere and feels very anticlimactic.

    Also, when he goes into the dark building chasing Sam, the terror that he is acting is Oscar worthy. Seriously.

Another example of acting fear amazingly well was in “hunger games” with Jennifer Lawrence. I remember telling my daughter when we watched hunger games, that just before she goes into the elevator to the hunger games itself while talking to Lenny Kravitz’s character, it was in line with that terror.

    (Nerd time) As it's already been stated, this is based off of a fantastic book of the same name from 1954. The plot is somewhat similar...
    SPOILERS for a book from 1954...
    A virus breaks out that takes over almost all of the human race, converting them to what could be considered "vampires". Robert Neville similarly looks for a cure, but also spends his days going out and murdering them while they sleep. Eventually, it's discovered that there are two "types" of vampire; one feral, and one more civilized. Neville is eventually captured by the civil group of vampires and is set to be put to death for his crimes.
    From the book: "To them he was some terrible scourge they had never seen... an invisible specter who had left for evidence of his existence the bloodless bodies of their loved ones. And he understood what they felt and did not hate them... Robert Neville looked out over the new people of the earth. He knew he did not belong to them; he knew that, like the vampires, he was anathema and black terror to be destroyed.... A new terror born in death, a new superstition entering the unassailable fortress of forever.
    "I am legend."

    So interestingly this movie is actually about vampires not zombies. The original book 'I Am Legend' written in Richard Matheson was more open with identifying the monsters as such but in this movie there are only subtle hints; Will Smith uses blood to lure the female vampire from the lair; the monsters are effected by sunlight and artificial uv light in the lab; And in the climax a monster bights Will Smith in the neck. With this context you also realize that what Will Smith pours on his steps isn't just random fluid but actually garlic water.

    One of the best movies to watch in regards of isolation and hopelessness. I remember watching this movie earlier in my life when I was in a very dark place and this movie kept thinking about potentially running into another group just like me, the way Will Smith's character always did(alongside finding the cure- in my case: cure to loneliness) however, it wasnt until I began to think about myself less and more so about others that the cure presented itself in the form of one of my first friends. It may have been awkward initially but eventually she became a beacon that led me to recognizing that happiness doesnt have to be found in a particular place but in yourself as well. Great job being able to address his existential crisis whilst accurately predicting how the movie turned out. Hopefully you enjoyed the movie Victoria :)

    @tjjordan4207 9 місяців тому

    To explain a couple of things with this movie. Robert Neville was a scientist who would often go into war zones for specific situations that would also require training from the military, so he was a scientist soldier. This explains why he’s able to fortify his house, have security measures, know what food to have that can last years, grow his own crops, know how to have running water (off the grid type), and have a laboratory set up in his basement (which was more than likely already set up before the virus struck).
    Another thing I noticed is that Neville has said that New York is ground zero, which means that must be where the virus started and began to spread. To understand the virus better, he would want to be where it began because those infected in the early stages would be there as well.
    In the movie, Neville is not the only human immune to the virus. In the book, he was the only one due to being exposed to the virus (highly implied to be nature-made, not man-made like in the movie) during one of his trips overseas in the very early stages that allowed for his immune system to fight it

The Omega Man (1971) with Charleton Heston is the least accurate, but most action oriented. The Will Smith version is good, one of his best performances in my opinion, but I definitely prefer the alternate ending to the theatrical one.

    The fact that the upcoming sequel is going to be following the alternate version of this movie that wasn't released in theatres, is extremely telling as to how the creator of the movie felt about what the studio forced upon his decision to change this ending... that's not even including the 30+ minutes of removed footage which actually had us spend time with the woman and child throughout the city doing various things which helped to build their characters. I hate when studios think they know better and then end up getting shown what for.

    The novelization makes much more sense of out the title of the movie. In the book. That female "zombie" which are vampires in the book. Actually talks and has dialogue with our will Smith character. He treats her like an experiment until he reluctantly let's her go. Then she betrayed that trust and turns him into the rest of the vamps. And when they are all around to watch him be executed the vamps. He realizes. Out of a world of monsters these vampire. That we used to fear. He became the legend. He was the vampires Boogeyman.

      The point of zombies is not to make "a" monster. The point is that the world changed faster than you could adapt to it, and now you find yourself the hunted minority. And more than that, zombies are death and loss of self. Inescapable and inevitable, because while you can "just walk around" _those_ zombies, there's nowhere left to go. There's a million more everywhere you might run, and they all have the same goal. _Something will_ get to you eventually.
      And the true horror is that you can become the hunted minority in _our_ world, for reasons that will never make sense to you.
      The horror in zombies is that they're us as a society.

    The directors cut has an alternate ending where Wills character sees the "vampire zombies" as their own species and lets the leader take his SO vampire zombie back and Wills character survives. IMO its a much better ending that the director wanted to have but was basically denied because it was thought that it wouldnt make as much money.

    Some of the movies I enjoy best of Will Smith are "Hitch" and "Hancock". The former might not sit well with your generation because it is about traditional courtship, but if you take that premise it is a very entertaining one.
    The depressing one your parents took you to the theater, curiously is titled "The pursue of happiness".

    Common misconception is that people believe they are zombies. They're not zombies, if anything they are more vampiric.. They are attracted to blood. They are sensitive to sunlight and have increased strength/ speed. They are also smart enough to be territorial and to hunt in packs. Even to make the exact trap just how Will's character did to catch the lady vamp. Although they are vampires it did inspire the zombie apocalyptic genre.

BUT, it was set up by the Zombie leader guy (the one they always show) because he took his girlfriend/wife/whatever. So it was the zombies that moved Fred to that spot, they knew Neville would be brought in by it.

    Also the flashlight thing he does in the building while looking for Sam is just a DIY way of illuminating a dark area quickly and then back off so as not to give away your position during a “tactical” situation. Not so much as to lure the dark seekers out but since it looks like they were “sleeping” they wouldn’t have noticed him flashing the light on and off. Nowadays there are pressure pads for lights and lasers because doing it with your hand still leaves you partially illuminated when night vision exists.

  • @glennwelsh9784
    @glennwelsh9784 2 роки тому

    Richard Matheson wrote the story this movie is based on, though the movie takes many liberties. In the book, the zombies are vampires (hence the allergy to sunlight), and it approaches the notion of vampirism in a rather deconstructive way. Neville is not a military scientist, but he does go about analyzing and determining grounded explanations for the vampires' weaknesses. In that way, the story is rather goundbreaking for trying to apply realism to the vampire myth.
    The book's end is also vastly different. Neville is captured by humans whom have survived being infected by the vampire virus and have become physically evolved by it, forming their own society and becoming the dominant species on the planet. After stalking and killing the vampires during the day as they slept, Neville had become a thing of myth and legend, feared by the new vampire society. It presents the juxtaposition that the vampires are now the dominant society that fears humans when it used to be the opposite. It also presents the notion that the monsters and outliers of society are usually determined by those in control.
    Ultimately, Neville is told he will be given a public execution, but is given the option of privately committing suicide. He opts for suicide to protect the legend he had created for himself, and his last words before he dies is "I am legend", hence the title.
