i am boring

based on my previous blog entry, i don't have much creative juices to tell a decent story in print. argh.. dissapointed and hurt.. that is why i call myself boring. where hath you my inspirational muse gone?.. why hath you left thou in this shit. hahaha! nasira sa shit. anyway, even this one person told me that in my 140 report i was.. umm.. boring? his exact words were "complacent". labo.. i was almost shaking with fear at that time and he tells me i'm complacent/ too relaxed. ambot. come on man! anyway, life goes on and no company wants me to be in their internship programs. i could maybe find a company in davao but honestly, i don't want to be home in the summer. it's too damn hot and the people keep arguing with each other (i.e. my sis, dad and mom). and again, i say, "how am i supposed to PROVE MYSELF if NOBODY would give me a CHANCE??"

ps. sorry for the lack of coherency or a general outline.. or the lack of sense and relation to the title..

i am legend alternate ending

i just finished watching the alternate ending that was released in dvd (i watched online). i couldn't really say which ending was better cause i found faults in both endings. but the fact that there are two endings is cool enough.=)

caution: spoilers

the movie was based on richard matheson's novel of the same name. in the book, vampires roamed los angeles due to some bacteria of sort that spread due to some unknown reason. robert neville (ang bida) was a guy who lived there fixing his house making it vampire-proof, hanging garlic, cleaning corpses out of his yard, etc. he kills vampires when he sees them and kills others who are not yet vampires but infected. he also uses his time to understand what really happened. later, a dog wanders into his yard and he takes time to win its trust. however, after succeeding, the dog gets ill and dies. later again, he meets a woman who seems normal and becomes friends. however, he realizes that she has the virus/bacteria when he takes a blood sample. the girl knocks her out but left a note before leaving saying that she was part of a tribe of people who were infected but have the ability to live in daylight (unlike classic vampires). she told him to go and never come back since people from her tribe would be back to take him and kill him. he decides not to leave. the said group of infected people come and take him and execute him at their place. before this happens, the girl she met gave her a pill that would enable him not to feel pain before the end. before he dies, he reflects on the fact that he has become a myth to these people because he was this unknown entity that killed their kind. he realizes that indeed, he is the last man on earth and these people he treats as monsters see him as one. thus his last thoughts are "i am legend".

(in case you didn't watch the movie)
the movie kinda sticks to the first half of the story where the city, in this case new york, is plagued by monsters/zombies/vampires due to some virus invented to cure cancer. there is also a dog but the dog was there from the beginning but she (the dog, samantha aka. sam) dies by the second half of the movie. in this movie, robert goes around with sam trying to find a cure for the virus that was the cause of all this. he did this by capturing "subjects" and subjecting them to different tests to figure out a cure. before sunset, he locks himself in his house to hide him from the infected. one day, he discovered a "hive" where he caught a woman subject. this is the reason the head of the hive hunts for him. this is also the cause of sam's death due to some scheme the infected leader did to capture robert. when sam dies, robert goes self-destructive and heads out to kill himself and bring down any infected ones with him. however, he is saved by a girl named anna and a kid. they head back to is house but were followed by the monsters..

in the first ending, robert, anna and the kid were stuck in robert's underground lab and the monsters were there with him. he realizes that the cure is in the woman zombie's blood (the woman zombie was sedated and in there with them in the lab). he draws her blood and gives it to anna. he hides them in a safe in the lab. he grabs a grenade and kills himself together with all the zombie's in the place. the next day, anna and the kid go to the rumored safe haven for survivors which they find. happy ending.

the alternate ending, of course, is different. that's why it's alternate. it was originally thought up to be the ending but hollywood decided otherwise. in this ending, as the head zombie was banging on the glass door, he looked robert in the eye and made a "smudge" of a butterfly on the glass. neville realizes that the zombie girl has a butterfly tattoo on her arm. he let's anna open the door and he goes out with the zombie girl on the stretcher. she took of the sedatives and woke her up. then head zombie carries her out but roared at robert before that. robert falls to the ground, shaking and stares at his wall where countless pictures of "subjects" were posted. then, the next day, him, anna and th kid head of to the place anna said.

what's great about the alternate is because it sticks to the story in the book that says that robert seemed to be a killer to the zombies since he has abducted a lot of their kind. this is portrayed when robert was looking at his wall of pictures in the end. also, as said in the forum i read, the feeling you get throughout the movie that the zombies had something more to them was indeed correct. unlike in the theatrical ending where you don't really know why they were attacking robert. maybe they cared for the girl zombie, maybe not. what i didn't like about this ending was when they all went out in the car and drove off to wherever. like what i read, it was so family-y. however, i particularly liked the part where the robert got up close and personal with the zombies. that was scary. one last thing on this ending, the fact that robert lived even after the confrontation was weird. it gave me the impression that he just got away with something he shouldn't have. i don't know. but it really struck me as odd.

as a whole, i liked the movie so much and i believe no one else could've pulled off a one-man movie but will smith. i didn't like the fact that the girl suddenly arrives at the end and steals the spotlight. also, i got sad when sam died and i really wished she lived. i think will smith should've died but i think the alternate ending was better for the overall effect on the zombies. one question though, how'd anna and the kid get into new york and how'd they get out of it in the alternate ending in a car? wasn't the bridge blasted off when the city was contained?
