When you are the only actor in the movie. And you keep the audiences interest for the entire length.

That’s talent.

What movie is this, i wanna watch it rn

I am legend

i still find this scene crazy cause like the zombies were hella smart in this movie,like they set a trap they moved the manequins, played mind games,gave and followed orders,shit was intense 

in the book it was based on, and the previous film adaptations of that book (the last man on earth, the omega man), they weren’t zombies, they were intelligent vampires. and in the book, he goes around during the day opening the boxes that they sleep in and killing them and then locks himself in his house at night while they crowd around and taunt him. and he has this back and forth with them for years while he tries to study the vampire gene to work out a cure. but then the vampire gene mutates so that some of them are no longer hurt by sunlight. 

these new sun-proof vampires come and get him, and put him on trial, and when he’s taken out for public execution he looks out into the crowd and sees the fear in all of their faces, little vampire children hiding behind their parents’ legs, and realizes that they are the new humans, and to them he is the boogeyman that’s committing genocide against them in their sleep (thus the title, ‘i am legend’)

the movie’s alternate ending more closely resembled this storyline, and instead of Will Smith blowing himself and all of the zombies up with grenades in his basement saving the woman and her son, he realizes that the zombie leader isn’t mindlessly attacking him and actually wants his zombie partner back and hands her over and they leave peacefully. there’s even a moment where the zombie leader looks at the hundreds of photos of zombies that Will Smith has used for experiments on the wall of his lab in horror and Will Smith looks ashamed. It’s a way better ending, and you can watch it on youtube. 

The actual ending seems like the most simple ending, it has broad appeal, it’s almost patriotic. Which I think is why the studio used it. I think the idea of a big studio blockbuster that asks the viewer to relate to a protagonist who while trying to be the hero has become the villain, that appears to have been shaped by the context of the United States’ foreign policy, was too big a gamble for them, so they settled for simple, explosions and an unsoiled hero. 

I HIGHLY recommend reading the book- it’s definitely one of my all-time favourites.
