"I am a legend" is a good science fiction film. Although the plot is a bit old-fashioned and the ending is a bit bloody, the director's extraordinary skill and Will Smith's wonderful performance make this film still very exciting and worth watching.
Going online today, I accidentally saw the second ending of "I Am A Legend". After watching it, I felt very shocked.

The final version of the official version is that the doctor, the woman and the child are forced into the basement by the Night Demon, and the Night Demon BOSS madly impacts the isolation glass. In order to save the woman and the child, the doctor gave the woman the serum that can fight the virus, he rang a grenade, and died with the night demon. The woman finally came to the quarantine area of human survivors with the child and serum, and the whole play ended! It should be said that this is a well-deserved Hollywood ending. After despair, there is hope, and the end of the night is dawn. The doctor ended his legendary life and finally left hope for mankind.
In the second ending, the doctor discovered that the night demon boss who attacked them was actually here to save the female night demon who was caught by him for experimentation. So the doctor took the risk to push the female night demon out, and he found that the night demon boss stopped attacking and had an emotional reaction to the female night demon. The night demon screamed threateningly at the doctor. The doctor knew that he injected the virus into the night demon and restored her to the night demon (it would have been cured, the last serum in the first ending was drawn from her body). The night demon boss and the female night demon behave affectionately, obviously a couple (two zombies are not suitable for children, the hair is terrifying). The night demon boss hugged his girlfriend and left, letting go of the doctor. While the doctor looked at the pictures of Night Demon on the wall, he collapsed to the ground. Finally, the doctor drove the women and children out of the city. End.
Looking at the two different endings, although the first ending is more bloody, it is very deceptive. A perfect interpretation of a tragic legend, the struggle of a lonely man, he finally sacrificed himself to save mankind. And the second ending is very controversial, praised that this is the perfect ending, the hero finally survived, and it seems that it is easier to accept emotionally. Opponents think that this ending is simple and sloppy, not as shocking as the tragedy and hope of the first ending.
In fact, the second ending is more shocking than the first ending, and the second ending is not a perfect ending, on the contrary it is a dark ending. It's just that the plot is very dark and obscure, and it's not easy to understand. In the second ending, the night monsters are no longer zombies who only know to kill in the traditional sense, and they also have feelings. As a human doctor, when he watched the night demon holding his girlfriend and left, when he looked at the wall-covered photos of zombies that died because of his experimentation, he realized that maybe the night demon didn’t need it. His rescue, perhaps in the eyes of these night demons, he was the killer, so the doctor would collapse to the ground. In the second ending, the film ended when the doctor left the city. The human survivor quarantine area did not appear in the first ending, and the doctor did not have the serum that could fight the virus, and the hope of mankind was cut off. These details imply that the era of mankind is over, and the future of the earth may belong to the night demon.
In general, the second ending is more logical and more in line with the style of lonely humans in the film, giving people a more profound shock than the first ending. I admire the skill of Hollywood screenwriters. The same story has two completely different styles in two different endings. The first ending is a pure commercial film model, while the second ending has some deep reflections.

I feel the same way, so that the speculative spirit in the original book they said is deducted. Human beings are alien to the night demons.
"I can save you!"-They don't need your own passionate rescue...
On the contrary, what you listen to in the first ending loses the brokenness of "God still loves us" in the scenes at the beginning of the film. The irony of the posters seemed ridiculous.
