Personal interpretation of the two endings

Version 1: The male protagonist has always believed that human beings have no wisdom after mutating, and even human instincts are lost, so he researched the antidote to save mankind, and later captured himself through zombies. After saving the female zombies, the male protagonist found that these zombies are intelligent New species with feelings, I have been experimenting with them and causing many zombies to die. From the standpoint of zombies, the male protagonist is actually a monster, and the zombies do not need to save them by themselves. So the male protagonist finally left with the female protagonist, gave up his obsession, went with the female protagonist to find survivors, handed over the city to them, and admitted that they were a new species. Different from previous zombie films, the protagonist of this film finally thinks from the perspective of zombies, and treats zombies as a new species, rather than the plot of previous films and brainless zombies, so I personally feel that this The ending of the version is still a breakthrough, and Smith's acting can be regarded as the biggest highlight of the film.

Version 2: We still look at the problem from a human perspective, and we must give the antidote to the survivors even if we die with the zombies. Pretty cheesy.

    How lonely is when there is only one person left in the siege of zombies, and there is only canned food to eat, and when you think about it, you feel that life is better than death... It’s not easy for the hero to insist on making serum... But since the zombie With wisdom and feelings, wouldn't you want to die when you look at yourself in the mirror? It is still said that after changing the zombie, even the aesthetics is zombie...

    The ending is really dead. Is it a legend if you have to be upset? .

I Am Legend quotes

  • [first lines]

    TV Personality: The world of medicine has seen its share of miracle cures, from the polio vaccine to heart transplants. But all past achievements may pale in comparison to the work of Dr. Alice Krippin. Thank you so much for joining us this morning.

    Dr. Alice Krippin: Not at all.

    TV Personality: So, Dr. Krippin, give it to me in a nutshell.

    Dr. Alice Krippin: Well, the premise is quite simple - um, take something designed by nature and reprogram it to make it work for the body rather than against it.

    TV Personality: You're talking about a virus?

    Dr. Alice Krippin: Indeed, yes. In this case the measles, um, virus which has been engineered at a genetic level to be helpful rather than harmful. Um, I find the best way to describe it is if you can... if you can imagine your body as a highway, and you picture the virus as a very fast car, um, being driven by a very bad man. Imagine the damage that car can cause. Then if you replace that man with a cop... the picture changes. And that's essentially what we've done.

    TV Personality: And how many people have you treated so far?

    Dr. Alice Krippin: Well, we've had ten thousand and nine clinical trials in humans so far.

    TV Personality: And how many are cancer-free?

    Dr. Alice Krippin: Ten thousand and nine.

    TV Personality: So you have actually cured cancer.

    Dr. Alice Krippin: Yes, yes... yes, we have.
