hehe...i wonder what the title for a sequel would be...


...I Am Legend Also? I Am Legend Too? I Am Myth? I Am God?
 
Maybe this will be from the viewpoint of the son, now grown up. I met a legend...now I am one. I Am Now a Legend.

Though I like I Am Legend: Tokyo Drift better.

It will probably be something like: Legend Forever or something like that but for now I don't know.

Also, I read that alot of people are confused about this film. I watched it twice and got it the second time because the first time I watched it I was asking myself: 'How does that fit?' Well I think I have some of those answers that people are looking for(Spoilers Below).
  • During the flashback sequences where Neville(Will Smith) recalls the events before his wife and son get shipped off to safety; there was one key scene in that scene which had alot to do with the final outcome of the film. Neville's son while in the backseat of the car and when he gets on the helicopter makes a reference to a 'butterfly', he makes the shape of the butterfly with his hands in the shape that forms on the glass door that is being smashed by the infected(I guess that's what they're called), now minutes before this scene Ana makes a reference to God and claimed that the reference had to do with the fact that she found Neville that night and saved him. After Neville realizes that the butterfly means; that he must keep Ana and her son alive to deliver the cure to stop the infected and turn them back to their regular form as the infected that lied on the table in that room was turning back to it's normal form like one of the rats in their cage at the beginning of the movie.
  • The Moving Dummy... I forget the idiot`s name but I can surely tell you that, that part creeped the hell out of me. I can safely tell you that the dummy is not alive and that I think the reason for it was that someone put it there to try and either catch one of the infected or to catch a deer(like Neville was doing at the beginning of the film). But, it could have also been set up by one of the infected(probably the one with the three dogs that eventually turn Sam the Dog into one of the infected) because like near the end of the film, the infected followed Neville, Ana, and her son to the house they were in.
I guess that`s about all there is to the confusion but if anyone has any questions they can post them and I will gladly try and answer them. But, if you don`t want to hear about it from me or you want to find out for yourself then I`d say that if you watched the film only once then you should watch it again because the pieces should then all come together smoothly.
 
The dummy was obviously there to catch neville... it was a trap, as a vengeance, they used the same kind of trap neville used to catch the vampire

It was also used to show that Neville was wrong about their level of intelligence. Too bad they didn't go anywhere else with that.
 
^Neville's kid was a girl.
What?! I thought it was Will Smith's son because that kid looks like Will Smith's kid from The Pursuit of Happyness. I heard Ana compliment him on the picture of his wife and kid but I thought she was complimenting his wife.

True. I remember that the first thing I complained about when I left the theather is that, just when the movie got really cool, with the possibility of the struggle between neville and the infected, they threw in the woman and the kid and changed all the **** around...

BTW, the sequel title: He was Legend

not all black kids look alike you know...hehe. just messin...foreal though, i thought his kid was a boy at first too, but then they said something about him having a daughter in the movie so i figured they were talking about his boyish looking kid.

also, the kid who played his daughter actually IS his daughter, Willow Smith.

Yeah, that was stupid. I wish Neville was alone there and then discovered that the butterfly meant that he must deliver the cure to the base to help stop the infected. The wife and kids were stupid because their story on how they found Neville was just lame: Jesus sent us. What a load of crap. Bad enough they killed off the dog that they have to kill off the main character?! I hate it when they do that in movies. Why couldn't he just've grab the grenade, arm it, throw it through the hole that the infected made, tell those stupid friggin' idiots in the shelter to scoot they're ass over and then KA-BOOM! Everything resolved so that they could just simply leave the house at dawn and deliver the cure to the base.
(Thanks DorkyFresh for clearing that up; I didn't know he had a daughter)

Thanks for pointing out two obvious things, and getting stuff wrong while doing it.

The dummy was the one that Smith knew, the one standing outside of the DVD store earlier. The vampires took it and made a trap with it, why else would the same Vampire from earlier be there with 2 dogs ready to attack. The fact that it's head turned when Will first saw it was just a trick of his eyes.

There were three dogs and I'm sorry I'm not perfect, no one is so give me a break.
 
actually...there were only 2. the alpha vamp had was holding back the dogs, one for each arm.

(Thanks DorkyFresh for clearing that up; I didn't know he had a daughter)
me neither until i few moments ago. i looked her up on IMDB.

I'm sure there were three dogs, oh well.
 
Definitely 3 dogs.

One killed right away. One fights Sam and one fights Neville.
 
there were NO dogs...





...they were vampirogs, hehe.

edit: just watched a bootleg, there ARE 3 dogs.

Actually, now that you brought that up I kinda release why:
Neville sacrifices himself at the end, because he was bitten by one of those things!... I do not know how I just figured that out:whatever:
 
i don't think Neville being attacked had anything to do with the ending since he was immune.

No because...

He was immune to the virus in all it's forms, that was made clear many times. Plus, as we saw by his own dog getting infected, the tranformation is quick. Neville never showed any signs many hours after the dog attack.

Wow for seeing it twice you really didn't understand any of it did you?

A- he wasn't bit
B- Neville is immune to both the airborne variety of the virus and the contact variety, which is why he is able to go into the dark Hive but Sam isn't. Sam can turn from a bite, Neville can't

Ohh... is that why he standed behind or something?...

Actually it took a while because the movie just spend up the pace of it, they didn't show him driving to his house, etc. So overall the transformation probably took about ten minutes or so. But, how is Neville immune if he hasn't discovered the cure until the end of the movie?

Wow man, you really didn't pay attention at all.

He gives a huge speech about how 1% of the population are immune. The woman and her kid are also immune.

Look who's talking. He was to bit, on his shoulder you can see the bite and when he's fighting witht the infected while rolling down the stairs; the thing is still biting his shoulder.

Dude, just stop while you're behind. You didn't understand one second of the film. You're not even close.

He wasn't bit by the dog, which is what we were talking about when I said that. :dry:
