I Am Legend Alternative

I used to love happy endings, but somewhere along the line I got sick of them, it disturbed me that the bad guys always died, the good guys always lived, and everyone lived happily ever after. I wanted an alternative, something new, something different. Something like Oceans Eleven or Scarface. Times did change, and it seems even Hollywood tired of this always happy phenomenon. Though the majority of movies released today still have happy endings, there are a few who don't, and it seems to me that the movies with less happy endings are the ones who now turn classic. I Am Legend is one of many.

Despite the sad endings always giving a touch of finesse and brutal reality to movies, however, the alternative always comes to mind: how would this have ended if the ending was happy? The grass is always greener on the other side, so when a sad ending does appear the public screams out in agony. In this specific case an alternative version was actually made with a happier ending. Saddened by the first one, I watched the new version, but, it turns out I liked the other version better anyway. Moral of the story? IDK, just my seven cents on the matter, good night.
