Why does the mannequin movie in i am legend

This leads me to think that it was the zombies who took Fred out of the store and placed him or it at the location in the scene. This is only possible explanation I can think of. They are not zombies, therefore who's to question their level of intellegence?

It is a hybrid disease of measles and rabies, therefore I believe they set the trap in retaliation after he trapped the female "dark seeker" and left all of the evidence of his trap behind, and they just copied it to their favour.

My interpretation of this scene is that Robert did in fact place Fred there, to keep a sense of normality as someone stated above. After all, it isn't set in stone that the mannequins remain in the same place all the time.

I mean, who hangs out at a Movie Store? Moreover, Robert is clearly going insane from being alone and in such a hostile environment. A normal person in their right state of mind would have seen the mannequin out of place from where they last remember leaving them, and rationalize "Okay, how the hell did it get there?

While it's clear the mutants were changing in the movie, I doubt it's anything more than what Robert described. That circumstances have caused them to ignore their basic survival instincts. One might argue that the central male mutant we kept seeing in the film is more evolved than the rest --even sentient, but I see no reason to believe that. What we saw in the movie was basic "pack animal mentality", essentially the male was the Alpha.

The natural leader. Stronger, more aggressive, dominant. As for the "meaningful eye-contact", aside from that being for movie drama it's nothing but typical animal behavior.

Looking an animal in the eye is considered a challenge in the animal kingdom. Ever wonder why your dog can't stare back directly into your eyes for long? I'm of the firm belief he's simply flipped his lid and gone bananas, so to speak. After all, there were no indications in the movie that the mutants were showing any signs of intelligence --in fact Robert himself states that their minds have completely diminished.

However, there are signs left and right the whole time that Robert is simply a broken, lonely man in a hostile world that's constantly trying to kill him. He went through that upwards of a thousand days. Can anyone really testify they could last longer without snapping? This scene could possibly be interpreted in many ways. One possible way is if the zombies were smart enough to know where he lived at the end, they were probably smart enough to set a trap at night time.

I think the zombies did set up the mannequin; they were pretty smart, the crept up on what they thought was will smith at the south street seaport, the followed him back to his house.

Ole Willy said they don't exhibit human "social behavior" anymore, but they were still mad smart. That's why he killed himself, probably. I thought it was interesting that Will Smith's character remarked: "Social de-evolution appears complete.

Typical human behavior is now entirely absent," when referring to the male zombie exposing himself to light after the female zombie was snared in Smith's trap. I personally thought the male zombie's attempt to help the female zombie displayed human characteristics such as friendship, sacrificing oneself for others, and possibly love.

Maybe I read it wrong, but it seemed like Smith had it backwards to me. Also I thought it was odd how they took the title of the book, but Smith never spoke the lines which gave the book the title. In the original novel they were vampires- the classic "Dracula" type. The ending makes more sense that way- at the end Robert Neville realizes that things have gone full circle- that these creatures of myth and legend were the norm now and that he, as the last human, was the "legend" in their world.

This crap at the end about "this is the story of Robert Neville and this is his legend" was pretty stupid. And they weren't "zombies" in the movie- as proven by the fact that the one in the lab was being cured in the end. If any of you have ever read the original story, please explain to me what would be so dang hard about making an accurate movie based on this story?

Never bore till? I think the original book ending is better. The hollywood ending just pissed me off. And who buys the fresh prince as a bad ass vampire killing machine any way. Will Smith I like, his movies I like, I just thought the ending of this one was dumb. Grainpsilo, you are wrong on a few accounts.

First of all the enture movie takes place in manhattan. I live in Manhattan Or ferry I think the survivor and the boy said something about being on a ferry or a boat Also, the blood is from the zombie, not will Smith! The cure is in the zombie's blood, will smith is immune as well as all the survivors. They say this in the movie. There is some cure will smith finds that he extracts from the zombie.
