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.

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"
Sounds legit.
Damn
if its true than its a bullshit ending...
What is wrong with the ending of the story? It is much better than the movie's.
Malcom Alexander much, much better. It has more closure.
“Keep my wife’s body out of your f^*king lab!”

Goated comment
Wow
Ahaha lol
LMAOO IM CRYING
Man they should have kept this ending, it's amazing. Both realize the other isn't a monster like they thought. It's a really deep scene
does it really make sense though? The infected had been killing millions of people before all this. So they weren't just killing to get some boss zombies gf back. They by nature were killing humans...
@@Josh.1234 its also possible that they adapted to the virus or evolved back into being somewhat sentient
or at least the leader did and they just follow him
@@eroalduin7305 I mean for the boss possibly but the movie makes no effort to lay the groundwork for that. Up until the end, zombies would kill given the opportunity. I think there might have been an early scene before he takes the gf, where he encounters the boss and he still comes after him.
yea its not much, still just somewhat
@@Josh.1234 That's where the misunderstanding comes from. We were led to believe that the infected are sick mindless monsters who kill uncontrollably. In actuality, they're just animals. Like any animal, they only kill because they need to eat or because they feel threatened. You can't blame an animal for following its instincts. They don't know any better. 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. By treating them like monsters, he made them think he was the monster.
I love both endings. One portrays him as the hero who made a Nobel sacrifice, the other portrayed him as an accidental villain but showed that the monsters do have a bit of humanity left in them
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.
@@robertrogerson5488 Never thought of it that way, damn
@@xSavedSoulx In the novel that's the reason for the title. That's what he thought in the end as he realizes that he was to these "monsters" like Dracula was to the old world. A myth, a legend.
How is he an accidental villain ? He had pure intentions and made moral decisions the whole movie
@@pezosdrare3291That’s the irony to the story. His virtues mean nothing when it comes to the monsters. it’s based on perspective. Your perspective is your reality. The perspective of the “monsters” is he is the nemesis to their existence, and vice versa.
He surivived 3 years with dog , 1 day with woman
I-haks -ppl 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
I-haks -ppl cool
Kinda tells you all you need to know about women 😂😂😂
Dogs are the superior companion. XD
HA-HA-HA WTF
These zombies were lucky it wasn't John Wick's dog
Found you
You are Years late
There he is
Actually their vampires like my friend
You took too long
I like how his human voice actually comes out at 2:25, and Neville's reaction to it implies he didn't know that was still possible either.
That was real subtle and a nice touch
Didn't sound like a human voice to me, it sounded like one of those noises they make throughout the film. The gasping for air noise the female one made sounded more human.
@@curlytoes9319so you're saying you didn't hear the old man yell...
Its possibly Implies, Both of female and male darkseeker is actually real life husband-wife relation which they both get infected and turn darkseeker
@@curlytoes9319 its mike patton from faith no more lol no joke
this movie really showed the meaning of “you either die a hero or you live long enough to see yourself become the villain.”
Nice I've heard that b4
@@princess1peach Batman
Freaky that only last night I watched The Dark Knight where that quote features itself
Pretty much Will Smith's life in a nutshell
@@josephgonzo no
When you realize a zombie have a girlfriend while you still single
They are vampires.
@@gloriaregali9090 that's what I was thinking. I've always assumed they where zombies because I was young when this came out. It all makes sense now. I actually like this ending more because it shows they have way more feelings than anyone knows. The movie just shows that he pissed off the one infected dude by taking his girlfriend. The end just didn't make sense to me. There was plenty of room in that storage thing the girl and kid got into. He could've lived! Happy ending! This ending explains more and has a happy ending. Wish I would've saw this a long time ago.
They're a bit of both, just call them Zompires 😎
Damn even the undead got more game than me
@@dylandrake4325 I really like this one too. It gives meaning to "I Am Legend". He was the legend or the monster to the vampires as how they are to us. He goes out in the day when they're vulnerable to capture and run tests on then kill them. When all along they have feelings and fear. From a point of view he is the bad guy. He is the monster in the stories or "legends" that the vampires tell.
When you finished all the side quests and unlocked the good ending
😂😂
That's exactly how I was looking at it. Will Smith made the morally good choices in this playthrough or something and unlocked the good ending where he lives.
It really does payoff
This is deadass Metro: Last Light lmfao
Silent hill good ending ++
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.
Officially canon now
Well a 2nd movie is confirmed and they are going with this ending! Will is alive !
Its confirmed this alternate ending ist the canonized ending !
NGL I do like the fact that they added both ending though. Something movies don't do alot of. it's just something different
It almost seems like hes ashamed, the way he slinks back. Like a child getting told off by an adult for doing something he knows is wrong
Props to the brave film crew. Must have been dangerous to film this. Some heros don't wear capes, some hold cameras.
💀
The camera man always survives, wild isn't it?
Still can't believe they used real vampires. True heros
@@elizaaajane Not if it's Cloverfield.
@@ryangarcia7732 the morbius guy was phenomenal

Well... When you put it like that it sounds dirty.
Weak asf🤣
They should make another ending where the fucking dog doesn't fucking die.
fucking ay
rather than the woman
sam comes back
+Alpha 104 he snapped Sam's neck and buried her, I don't think she could come back
+Aaron MacDonald-Hall he didn't have too tho
+Aaron MacDonald-Hall Yeah well I don't fucking care they'd find some way
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.
They are basing I am legend 2 off this alternate ending
Dude that message at the last line go so hard
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 :)
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.
@@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.
With that being said had he not done all of that he never would have found a cure. Sometimes sacrifices have to made for the betterment of humanity. Best example is Jesus Christ being murdered on the cross by his own father
Weren’t bothering him but killed off most of mankind lol cmon bro
@@Godson4L I would argue that during the initial infection, the infected are ferals who kills anyone on sight but later on developed sentience. Hence, why neville is shocked and guilty of the realization that they are "people" and he is the monster all along.
I don't care if he lives or dies. Make an alternative ending where the dog's alive.
Awesome idea - that would make it a 10
Suresh Gaur that's one of the best scenes in the film. We wouldn't have such an emotionally impacting film without it.
PS. Why do you care more for a dog than your own species?
stupid question elijah, ill save a dog over a human any day
Elijah Elliott-Ebanks who doesn't
Jonathan Maynard I'll save my bird :D
It took me 13 years to find out that there is an alternative ending.
Yea same. I like this ending better. It's more controversial and less Michael Bay (bombs explosions boom boom the end)
yea, i just discovered this today
This is the ending I saw originally, I never knew there was an ending other than this one
@@charlieschurk Same I thought this was the original untill I rewatched it later
Same
I like this ending because the clues were in the movie the whole time. The darkseeker braved the sunlight to rescue his woman and all the good doctor saw was that they were rabid and lacked empathy. At least in this version he figured it out in the end
_that's why_ he was "legend" smh...
this was obviously the original ending, but some dumb test audience must've scared the studio to get rid of the moral ambiguity, do something more predictable, less interesting. pt, they made the wrong decision
@@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. 😅
For anyone that hasn’t read the books this is so accurate because in the book the walkers view Neville as the monster because he hunts them mercilessly during the day. While they do try to kill him in return it was only out of survival considering he was attacking them to. In the end they use a woman who is half vampire half human to seduce him and get him to lower his defenses and in the end show him that humanity is gone but the vampires society is taking over.
NGL that ending doesn't sound so good morally 😂. They about to turn into what they didn't like about Neville
@@livinglegend9709 it is kind of weird because they like publicly execute him and he’s just stunned that they’re sentient and have a whole society haha.
Blink and you miss it, but there is a subtle shot at 2:50 where you see all the photos Neville has pinned to the wall of a shocking number of test subjects he was trying "to cure." In that subtle moment, you can feel shame from Neville. It must look terrifying to the Mutants what he has done to all those captured subjects who died in his failures. It looks like a trophy wall of a serial killer from their perspective.
@@88MooseHeadif I recall correctly, there was/were other shots in the movie showing this.i believe something showing him failing at getting a positive antidote
Why did I think they were zombies?
And after 12 years, I just realised there's an alt ending. Ffs
I actually watched this movie today...
lol
I had heard about it.. but never looked for it
I feel you. I just discovered this and I didn't even knew they are vampires not zombies. hahaha
IKR!!
Do u like this version better?
12 years later he became a *genie.*
Brooks Malonzo lol XD
That a good one 😂
You mean a thousand years earlier?
@@shanaestus5458 No
😂
Who else came here after Will announced I Am Legend 2 is coming? 🤣
Yup
Lol meto, I must say though the original one, were he sacrificed himself was waay better an impactful an meaningful. He finally for filled his purpose an found a cure. He accomplished his goal. Really had nothing left to live for, I mean he did have the woman an the kid but still...his family an his dog is gone. Dying accomplishing his goal is much more of a fitting end to his story.
I mean in this ending what did he really do revive the alpha infected’s woman....an it doesn’t show if he cured her or not...they just leave. An then what Wills character the woman an the kid drive off in the sunset. Like 😑 idk I don’t see why they just couldn’t make MBJ the main character in I am Legend 2, an it’s atleast mentioned the sacrifice from the first film that led to the cure. But oh well... I hope the sequel is good.
I wish he would have articulated that this was the original book ending and they decided on a different one in the movie. Rather than citing this as the “dvd ending.” Think it would have played better, maybe they will clarify more.
Me but damn this ending was trash 😂😂… him dying was way better

Except the I am Legend title makes more sense in this alternate ending.
@@jarlbalgruuf7701 +1. In the theatrical cut, it's just "I done brave ting so I am legend"; in the director's cut (and the original novel), he realises his actions have made him a terrifying monster to the Darkseekers.

This is undoubtedly a better ending. It's a brilliant twist and delivers a really powerful message; that these things might no longer be "human", but they're still sapient. 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.
Allowing these people, because they were once people, to remain as they are, without trying to help is mass cruelty. Every one of them has a story, had parents and friends and loved ones. Allowing them to languish in privation, pain and barbarism is awful.
I disagree wholeheartedly. People keep saying "oh Neville realises he was a monster" but ignore that these things are are the far bigger monsters killing like 99% of the planet, whilst Neville killed only a fraction of that number, with the hope of restoring them back to their original human form..
@@BBalllegend1000monster did not kill the population the virus did
@@BBalllegend1000 The novel puts forth that they're not only intelligent, but are society and have a written/communicative language, science, and law. They had also developed their own cure, and had gone about eliminating the undead that plagued the world, but Neville doesn't know this. It, of course, isn't 100% correct to this, but the idea is still there.
Nope this ending is trash. Its typical morality 🗑️
These things are awful. Yeah sooo intelligent that they bash windows using their skulls, acting like wild animals, killing everyone and everything. Oh yeah soooo smart 😒
I like the idea of this ending more than the execution. I think it's hard to believe that they would be able to stop and show rational thought and act this way vs just ripping Neville apart in their condition. 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.
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.
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.
That's fine for the original story but I'm saying just for the movie, I don't think there's anyway audiences buy this ending after the 2 hours prior if this is what they went with. Also, glad you think a stranger who works in the film industry is slow...@@anonymousbo0318
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
The ending we deserved.... What we learned from this ending? They aren't dumb mindless zombies. They are intelligent able to communicate, and show mercy.
And could possibly be the next species among the human line. It's kind of hopeful
@@terrybatman That's what I was thinking. It's very reminiscent to me of the Planet of the Apes (new movies). The new successors are caused by a virus lead by an Alpha.
It also carries the legacy of Will Smith’s character.
And possible lead to sequel. Like the new planet of the apes as mentioned
The book was way more darker.
I swear, I was today years old when I realized there was an alternate ending (after seeing a tweet that Smith and Michael B Jordan working on a sequel)
Shaderoom😭😭

Same!
It was The ShadeRoom for me 😂😂
Same all these years never knew this existed.. original ending was better imo
I'm so thankful this is now the canon ending. Tbh this is probably the most iconic alternate ending of all time in terms of film.
I Am Legend will be remembered for being one ending away from being one of the most iconic apocalyptic movies of all time
I prefer this ending. From their point of view he was a monster kidnapping them during the day to experiment on. For them the day would be scary not the night. From their point of view he is the creepy monster that comes to get you while you're sleeping.
This ending sucks... and is NOT the way it was intended. I saw the movie in the theaters. The was NOT how it ended
@@thedynastycontinues945 Obviously this is not how it ended. It's the ALTERNATE ending. :/
So, the boogie man 😂
@@thedynastycontinues945 its the alt ending u idiot. And just bc u want to see Neville be the hero, doesn't mean he is
@@GoddessKitten_ If u go stream this movie on any website.... this is the ending they have for it now.
Call me crazy, but after Will said “I’m sorry” and the infected man roared at him.
I think that the infected guy could tell that he was truly sorry.
He did after he looked back one more time at him and left
It’s kinda like you can see on his face after the roar, he realizes that Neville while being evil in their eyes this whole time, only wanted to help.
Night Hawk
I think that’s why he stopped glaring, I think right then and there he realized what he was trying to accomplish.
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.
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.
At 1:26 you could tell they feared him as they go from roaring in his face to backing up
Will Smith should have slapped the test audience that rejected this ending
The fact they actually filmed this and decided it wasn’t good enough for the final cut is insane
blame the people who watched it in theatres, they didn’t get positive reactions for this ending so they cut it
Test screen audiences suck, man.
00's movies are full of the worst possible endings. It was a weird time in cinema.
this ending is worse than the original imo maybe if the movie was longer and dove more into the "monsters" being intelligent and scared and just wanted him to leave them alone i would understand it but the way the movie played out and then having this ending didnt make a lot of sense
@FatherofWorlds oh i didnt say i wanted them to be mindless savage beasts, i like that they were smart enough at least to set a trap and hunt him. i think the cut ending would have been better only if the plot of them in love was more fleshed out is all

This ending that was closer to the theme of the book. He looked at how angry the monsters were but it was because he had one of their people as a hostage and experiment. He had been sneaking into where the monsters lived when they slept, kidnapped them and experimented them
HE was the monster. HE was the boogeyman. HE was legend
How is it closer to the theme of the book?
Neville was betrayed by the female visitor, captured and then executed.
@andrew8966 the theme of the book is that he was the monster. He terrified the vampires. He was the legend. Not like the original ending where he's the knight in shiny armor sacrificing himself.
I didn’t even know there was an alternate ending - and I really love it. Shows there’s still a basic recognition and emotion in those infected.
The irony of this ending if you think about is the vampire’s showed more humanity then Neville did by sparing him. He didn’t really care if his test subjects lived or died when trying to find a cure. He is their count dracula, their legend.
He was the villain
This is a little closer to the ending of the book. In the book the vampires evolved to a new society and Neville ended death as their villain and legend.
Here’s what I don’t understand- they eat people. How do they survive and evolve if they eat humans and there are no more humans left to eat?
@@2BinNYC That is the reason I hate zombie movies
@@2BinNYC Maybe they'll hibernate, start to hunting other animals (like deer), or even tried to looking for another diets.
The fact that the leader commanded the others to back off when he was getting the syringe means there's a degree of respect present
This ending is canon in my mind.
its canon now
It's crazy how the producers managed to make these mutants look beast-like but also make them look human at the same time.
They look like pale humans, better fit for survival
All credit goes to producers.
The visuals are awful unfortunately but i do like the movie
I always thought the main zombie guy looked like woody harrelson
In the movie, you can see the early outbreak where zombies are still human figures and have normal skin. 3 years is enough to make their appearance change
They just need a damn snicker
Underrated comment lmfao
“ zip it shrimpy “ 😂
They don’t like chocolate I think lol
😂😂😂
J man 😂😂😂
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.”
But then the leader understand what Neville was trying to do. He wasn't the monster as much as they thought he was
Never seen this until today. Had to watch it before the sequel comes out.
Same
Think about it, to them Neville is the monster. In their eyes he's a mysterious monster who kidnaps them durring the day and does who knows what with them. Plus they're already afraid of daytime because uv light harms them, just like some of us are afraid of the dark because we can't see in the dark and we fear what we cannot see. Hes their version of a monster in the dark, so to speak.
A monster in the light you say
@Hoàng Nguyên and I think at the end the vampire/whatever didn't kill him because he saw what he really was just a weak scared defenseless human and not the monster they were so afraid of and allowing him to inject the syringe into the woman and not killing him definitely shows they are much more intelligent then we thought honestly this ending was so much better then him just going out a hero im sad that they changed it and imo their reason of "it was better to have a happy ending" is dumb this was a much more happy ending then the other he gets the "cure" and leaves for vermont a changed man realizing he was the monster all along not the hero
wow
Yo that was deep af
But those vampires are originally human, I wonder when the virus infected them, their human life are all gone?

I did some searches on the planned plot of the sequel, and if it would act as a prequel because Will's character dies in the first movie's ending. Was reading an article and learned that an alternative ending was made to be more in line with the storytelling of the book, and honestly I didn't even know it was a book first. I had seen the movie when I was a kid. I like this ending better. I think I cried the first time I watched Will's character sacrifice himself so the mom and kid could get out with the cure, but seeing the realization that the "monsters" are capable of love and mercy and were only really hunting him because he caused them so much torment was a pretty cool thing that I never really thought about until now. That shot when he says sorry and gets yelled at and you can see the reflection of photos of all his test subjects (who I assume have all died) is amazing. Sure he had the means to turn them back or make sure humanity as we know it never went through that adaptation again, but at what cost. Nothing to him, but so much to them. We're supposed to have empathy as humans and I feel like the ending I saw kind of did the whole story dirty now. Haven't seen the movie in years but I will be rewatching with this new mindset soon. Thank you for coming to my Ted Talk.
I wish they would have done the actual ending from the book. That straight up blew my mind when I read it. And the book just kind of abruptly ends. So great.
You’d have to change a lot more than just the ending.
The cure wasn’t found by Neville it was found by the others that ended up making Neville “The legend” he later exclaimed
The ending they went with shows that he's the hero.
The book that this was based on, however, shows that in the end he was actually the villain. They were only attacking him because he kept taking their people. It was meant to show how easy it is to become the villain when only focused on end goals.
This was the ending that was SUPPOSED to be in the final cut! Without it, the story is entirely meaningless.
The reason it's called I Am Legend is because to the zombies there is a creature (Will) that hunts down the zombies and tests and kills them. Pretty cool realization.
They changed it to something generic because the studio thought the audience would be dumb dumbs and not be able to figure that out by themselves even with the hints they give you throughout the movie where they show you they aren't just dumb mindless beasts. And because people didn't like the ending because apparently not having a happy ending where they create a cure at the end is worse than figuring out our main character was never the hero but the villain the entire time and the title of the movie proves this as a legend or a boogie man that hunts the zombies and takes them away.
yh but that still dont make him the villain? he was trynna cure the zombie virus lmao, end of the day they still are zombies no?
@MR IV loool 🧢
@@mokhan8934 In the book they are concluded to be a new species of human, not zombies. They're intelligent, they have feelings. They love each other, defend each other. This is proven by the fact that they will go above and beyond to recover their lost ones.
In the eyes of the main character, he sees the work that he's doing as good and that he's not doing anything wrong by capturing them.
In their eyes, he's a monster that repeatedly attacks them, taking their friends, lovers, and children.
It's up to the audience to decide who the true monster is. But it's written in such a way that you tend to conclude that the main character is indeed the villain, even though he has good intentions. That's the conclusion he himself comes to, before giving himself over to them.
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.
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...
@@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.
@@TheSebssx this one feels more accurate as the monsters here show actual intelligence instead of just a mindless horde that wants to kill him like what they did in the actual ending
@@marzialalfonzocanada888 Well, they look more like some smart monkeys than actual intelligent humans.
In the book there is no significant difference between the human and the living vampire in terms of intelligence.
The ending where they kill him, you could imagine it could be the living-dead vampires that are brainless.
@@TheSebssx naah in here they actually have intelligence the alpha understood him when he said he was sorry and was willing to let him live despite the atrocities he commited to them so that's more than just some smart monkey intelligence ..... and in the original ending of this movie no matter how many times he screamed " I CAN SAVE YOU " the alpha just bonked his head in the glass like an idiot without any shred of humanity or intelligence at all.....so in terms of what's more accurate to the book I'd say this one is more accurate altho saying that is a stretch tbh cuz it's not really accurate to the book ending
I just noticed, when he says he's sorry, you can see the pictures of all of the subjects he experimented on in the background.
Nice touch.
This movie is another to emulate the classic with Vincent Price "The Last Man on Earth" and with this ending, that solidifies the thought as it was the same thing. Robert kept killing the zombies without knowing that there were many survivors who had not fully turned and in the end they viewed him as a monster.
Test Audience Logic:
"He makes peace with a misunderstood enemy? LAME!!!"
"Suicide boming? YAYYYY!!!"
Probably because it was such a jarring change from everything we'd seen of the infected up until that point. They were mindless and feral rather that creatures capable of what appears to be thinking and and emotion. With the exception of the 'trap' they set for him. If they had shown a little more of them using their brain this ending may have worked.
@@thecrazyslopoke The alpha male also showed affection for the female captured when he almost went outside to save her. I feel like they were heading toward this ending, but ditched the idea late in the creation of the movie because was too "brave" and prefered a more usual ending.
@@etienneditolve1567 hmm. I guess. I never saw it that way. I always saw it as he was just demonstrating how strong he was by willingly getting burnt, almost like a 'I'm not afraid of you' type of thing.
Again I think if they would have explored more of the... Creatures? I forget what they're called, but if they would have explored them more it would have worked better.
But against my point, I was always thrown off by them setting the trap for Will Smith. Because that's the only time they even hinted at them being more than just feral humans.
I feel like this tries too hard with moral relativism though. They're still feral creatures that, even intelligent, social, etc., are the cause of the mass extinction of humans through murdering them.
Neville experimenting on a few to try and turn them back hardly seems to be equally "immoral".
@@FuttBuckerson In the original book they aren't exactly the cause of the mass extinction of humans, in the book it's explained that the most of humans were killed by the virus itself, a part of them was transformed in this night creatures (with emotions etc., practically a new species) and another part became the monsters that killed the survivors. Even in the film Neville says something similar, he says that the 90% of humans were killed by the virus and the remainder by the creatures which he thinks are all feral.
When you realise the alternate ending has more views and likes then the original ending
Swagger 12 because nobody have seen it
Yeah this was the ending i saw in the movie theaters
Mohammed fadhily Because it’s 10x better 🤷🏼♀️
@Ramsey Bolton it's changed now, on television.
Even I watched this ending, and yeah on TV, but they don't show this one anymore.
this was the original ending
What I like about this ending is that the Darkseekers are not just bloodthirsty monsters, they still have a bit of humanity in them.
Que pena que até hoje não tem continuação desse filme maravilhoso.
“They don’t show any sign of being human.”
-Will Smith, I am legend
This video:
Wait, actually,
Actually, I saw the relation still in the movie as it hit the theaters. The dude definitely was angry about this woman zombie being taken - because he rushes out and gets burned in his screaming rage. He was already exhibiting "relationship" signs without having to have this ending.
@@TheCrisses and the released dogs on them for gods sake, that looked very human to me so did the fact that they set a trap
@@Banjo-ed5vv Yes, actually, I think "using tools" is a marker of sentience, right? :) So yes, agreed - there were more subtle signs that they were intelligent zombie-vampires (rather than run-of-the-mill animal-zombies).
@@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
@@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.
For the people confused to why he said sorry it was because for the 1st time he was able to relate to them. They’re a new species and it’s their world too, he realised that
Nobody was questioning that.
For real, Noone asked that? It was obvious, you gonna explain how 2 plus 2 is 4 next? Anything for them likes
@@anglermatt 77 people either disagree or get why I said it. Some people won’t ask cause it’s an old movie, saying if am gonna explain why 2+2 is 4 next, maybe use some of that strong iq you’ve got and think why I would say it lol

Since this ending is canon now, that means the infected still have some humanity left! I always thought that concept made for better story and I'm glad that will be explored in the sequel.
I JUST found out about this ending ... Mind blown! This was way better than the theatrical version!
I actually prefer this ending. Every now and then, I prefer scenes that encourage us to look at things from the perspective of the members of the other side.
Is it really that wrong to experiment on creatures with arguably lesser intelligence than a child to find a cure?
I mean, they *did* attack the human species first, so it's justified for the humans to look at these vampires(?) as bloodthirsty creatures.
@@dimmler7851 is it even a cure if they dont want to be changed back to human? What is heavily implied
@@brunoyudi9555 They communicate in screams. No telling what they think when Vest Vamp isn't being all Alpha.
@@brunoyudi9555 Of course its a cure, they live a miserable existence. They are literally gremlin creatures that live in the dark and hunt humans as prey. Sure they may have some level of intelligence, but for the most part they are just ignorant to the life they could be living.
@@emz1412 but anytime you try and force your will on a group of people, it's not gonna be nonviolent. Especially when both sides see the other as the monster. Why would the Darkseers want to become one of the things that kidnaps/kills/experiments on them?

@@mysteryjunkie9808 that's what implied here
@@mysteryjunkie9808 bro did u not watch the video?
I think this is way better an ending. Even though they didn't get the cure in this one, it showed there's still a sliver human left in those creatures, which makes them worth saving. Which I think is way more important than finding the cure or the survivor colony.
The actual last scene would have been the three of them going to the colony surely? The film wouldn’t have ended at this scene right? Just no cure.
It’s July 2022 and I just finished watching this for the first time, wish I watched it sooner ! Amazing movie 🎥💯

Only because now he's close enough and paying enough attention to their expressions for once to see it.

obvious they are all still human actors :D
Thats because theyre human
Who's watching this after the announcement that this is the canon ending.
I don't understand why they decided that this ending is not perfect? I love this particular ending as compared to the heroic one since it depicts how from one perspective it looks like he's the hero when just focused on accomplishing his end goals while truly he wasn't when it came to the zombies. Its really frustrating that this specific ending was not chosen for the final movie.
@@dangerrock1878You're a waste of oxygen 😂 🤡
I really feel like this should have been the actual ending. It shows that they still have some humanity left. A new species.
That's the book end.
I think this also shows that they aren’t just bloodthirsty monsters. Like the lions in the beginning they are social animals and while very dangerous they don’t kill needlessly.

Who else here because they just announced the second one using this ending but you couldn’t remember what the ending was so you’ve come back to watch in 2023?
At 2:30 is when Robert realizes they actually have emotions. Earlier in the movie he was saying that its not possible for them to feel any type of emotion .

2:49
This part right here... That hit me. The moment the vampire seemed to get angry, only to then see the true reality of what Robert Neville has been doing all this time... It seemingly catches him off guard, like "Whoa... He's been trying to help us?... All this time?"
That’s what I got from it🤷🏽♀️
@@ylpitts1 no to him will Smith is a serial killer a boogeyman kidnapping his kind and experimenting on them
Gage Niedert but then I feel like he would’ve killed him there but I feel like he realized he was trying to help them
@@darkstars3247 no he thought if he could do all that by himself who knows what he's capable of I mean hell he suicide bombed them all in the released movie
Gage Niedert what I’m saying is like the dark seeker would’ve killed him once he gave his girl back to the dark seeker. So I feel like the dark seeker sees that he was trying to help him all this time and realized it. Because if the dark seeker saw that he was a killer then it would’ve just made sense just to kill him right where he stand after giving the girl
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.
This is now canon
I love the mutant is surprised at 2:40 to see that the human has emotions too. Both "monsters" realize that they are not that different after all.
Rumor has is there’s another alternate ending where Will slaps the zombie in the face. He then yells at the zombie to keep his wife’s name out of the zombies mouth. I think he slapped the wrong guy.

Coming back to this many years later makes me happy that this is now the real ending to the movie and they are carrying it on with a I am legend 2. I hope it is just as good as the first one. Masterpiece in my eyes.
I don’t know what’s more emotional. The original sacrifice ending to save the cure for the rest of the world or this ending showing that the Darkseekers still have humanity and understanding in them. 😢
After 13 years from watching it.. Didn't know this movie has an alternative ending. Mind blowing 🤯

I have my left ✋
2:55
Look at the alpha's eyes. They bounce from Will's character to the mother-son couple a bunch of times but, in between, you can see them look down.
Along with his overall face, it could give the impression that... he's doubting.
This is most likely the first time any of his kind has interacted this long with a human, and by a hunch based on trust of all things. A hunch that not only went well, since he got his loved one back, but maybe... just maybe... left on him a different impression of humans, as dim as it might be.
Because he shows mercy.
He *chooses* not to let his fellow Darkseekers tear them apart after finally completing his objective.
He just leaves.
Even though he has, from his perspective, a mass murderer right in front.
So he doubts.
About what exactly, we're left to imagine.
this scene still slaps hard!!
I totally prefer this ending. I liked the original until I heard about how this story originally ended, then I was disappointed by the unfulfilled potential. I feel like it's the most unique and interesting part of the story that after all of his fighting what he sees as just mad vampire zombies that he's trying to find a cure for. And it turns out they've been aware and intelligent the whole time, and he's their boogeyman abducting their friends and family never to be seen again as they all die from his experiments.
To have that moment of realization of "Oh shit, I'm the bad guy. For all my good intentions, to these people I am a monster." And to have the audience find out at the same time Is what really makes this story pay off.
+Odin Tillgren i completely agree when i watch the movie i switch it off before the horrible theatrical ending comes along and watch the alternate ending instead. the whole point is that he is now the stuff of myth and nightmares, the "legend", as he is one of the only non vampire/zombie left
The alternate ending is the closest thing to the books ending where robert neville realizes that to the vampires, he's the monster. And then he accepts the fact that he's the bad guy in they're perspective and finds it ironic that in later generations he'll be considered a legend much like how vampires were legends to him. He takes a lethal pill and says "I am legend" before he dies. Great book, definitely a must read.
I was thinking the same thing...
This is actually really well shot too. At 2:46 when he says "I'm sorry" and the lead dark-seeker roars at him like "That isn't good enough" and it shows the reflection of the wall with pictures of all of his victims. And after he flinches back and just looks defeated the facial expression on the leader seems to say that he's surprised to find out that Neville really didn't know what he'd been doing.
+Odin Tillgren well I though that when he roars " look what you have done"
This ending shows their intelligence more than the other. In the standard ending, they just attack until they all get blown up. Like mindless zombies. In this, they show mercy. Basically unheard of with “zombies”.
it is a vampire like disease not zombies
@@ZyonSigil they’re more like both. They’re like vampires in their intelligence and UV sensitivity, but like zombies with their hordes, how they feed, throw themselves into anything in pursuit of their prey...they’re more like zombies (or “infected”, whatever) than vampires imo
I actually am working on a mythos where zombies originate from monsters who were infected, but after a few million years the zombies managed to gain sentience and act like humans almost
@@miguelmoronta6871 well humans attack in mindless groups as well
Untrained ones anyway
false. we already knew how intelligent they were from the trap they set for will. This ending would've infuriated me
Anyone else here after the sequel was confirmed on Twitter?
Also, I really hope the ‘zombies’ in the new one aren’t CGI lumps of meat. Walking Dead and Last Of Us have shown you don’t need fully CGI creatures/people and that real actors make it so much more authentic
I love the scene where you see Smith's character's shame as he backs up and we see the number of victims in the background we see who died for his experimentations.
The movie was good, but this alternate ending as the official ending, funny enough, would've made this movie legendary.
