A Legendary Psychotic Mad Doctor/Mass-Murderer (spoilers)

Rating: 7/10 (22 December 2007)

SPOILERS...SPOILERS...SPOILERS...SPOILERS (WARNING: this basically gives the whole movie away)
--------------------------------
Its all about PERSPECTIVE...
Do you realize that Neville was somehow directly or indirectly associated with EVERY death (on screen) in the movie? Neville was involved with the so-called cancer cure that wiped out billions of people.
We can see that because of Neville's insistence and rank pulling, his family boarded an ill-fated helicopter...not his fault but nevertheless, they perished.
We know for a FACT that Neville kidnapped and experimented on scores of people, causing excruciating pain and horrific death.
We know for a FACT that Neville was a exceptional military officer trained in survival and lethal combat and possessed an assortment of assault rifles, handguns, mines, and grenades.
We know for a fact that Neville was trying to kill a deer and caused the deer to be killed by the lion.
We know for a fact that Neville and his dog invaded a resident's home (hive) looking to kill a deer but after being run out, decide to kidnap what turns out to be the queen. After he brutally knocks her unconscious right in the face of the king, things fall apart, as they should have.
This sick insane Neville even shoots up Fred (a mannequin) after taunting him for not being a real person for pete's sake and then turns and sprays bullets into the surrounding buildings...just because he thinks he hears something.
After his dog is mauled does he try to cure the dog? nope, he strangles the doggone dog. Now guess what he does next? He takes his Ford Explorer with killer Firestone tires and absolutely goes on a vicious rampage and intentionally runs over scores of people. Even the woman who eventually rescues him from the completely mangled, upside-down SUV had to pull a gun and the sweet little boy who was with her had to pull a freaking knife on the man when he had one of his typical raging outbursts.
And finally, the residents launch a rescue mission for the queen. After they breach his hideout, guess what...he freaking kills the king, the soldiers, the queen AND himself with a hand grenade. And we want to build statues to Neville in a small town in Vermont just because he let the woman and child slip out. WOW, what a hero. Truthfully, it was the ONLY decent thing he did the entire movie.
The tale of Dr. Robert Neville is indeed a horrible spooky legend (like the headless horseman, or ghouls and goblins and vampires) to the residents of that city.
Someone had to put an end to all of the madness. Those brave people that stormed the hideout in a suicide mission led by their king, deserve recognition.
Neville realized he could not stand trial for his crimes just like the Nazis who tool cyanide.
So who was REALLY the madman?...Who was REALLY the boogeyman?
As demented Colonel Kurtz said in Apocalypse Now, "the horror"...
Look, I saw some newspaper clippings...I heard Neville's testimony but we also saw that he was demented as well (he was scared of a female mannequin and probably killed Fred to get to her - jealousy/coveting perhaps?) So since we could see that Neville was disturbed and we know how the media can be biased and deceptive (you see that they had Katie Couric/Today Show reruns, ironically LOL)...Who's to say that everything that we were told about the so-called mutants was nothing but propaganda because of fear and/or ignorance? Who was to say that mental illness was not a side-effect of being "immune".
In the entire movie, I didn't see a mutant kill ANYONE! NOT ONE PERSON! only the deer that Neville was trying to kill himself.
How about you?
