Prior to the release of I Am Legend's alternate ending, this was the most commonly regarded theory on the much-dissected moving mannequin scene, particularly given the sequence in which Fred looks at Neville appears to be shot from Neville's perspective, highlighting his mental deterioration after living alone and in fear for over five years. The movements of Fred's head towards the camera, coupled with his new positioning outside of Grand Central Station, seem to suggest that Neville has lost his mind after being alone for too long. Neville's emotional reaction to seeing Fred deprives him of his usual survival skills, allowing Neville to be caught in a net akin to his own traps - which directly leads to the death of his beloved dog Sam. Initially shocked and under the impression it could be another surviving human, Neville is dismayed as he approaches and realizes it is Fred, with Neville screaming futile questions at the mannequin. Neville knows he is badly outnumbered and the odds are against him, and all the while, the infected wait for him to make a mistake that will deliver Neville into their hands.During I Am Legend's second act, Neville is driving past a ruined Grand Central Station when he notices a figure outside of the terminal entrance, which turns his head to look directly at Neville. He wanders alone through New York City, calling out for other possible survivors, and works on finding a cure for the plague using his own immune blood. Robert Neville (Will Smith), a brilliant scientist, is a survivor of a man-made plague that transforms humans into bloodthirsty mutants.
