Why did they have to make him believe in god at the end, wtf.

My friend was a little upset that they tried to push religion onto people with this movie, but I didn't see it that way. It was more or less just pushing faith and hope, they just used religion as a way to do it.

"Daddy look a butterfly!" as his daughter left on the helicopter. He realized when he saw the butterfly tattoo on Anna's neck that it was more than a coincidence. That part gave me chills.
What are you getting at? =( I didn't get the butterfly part when they zoomed in.Originally Posted by Belkin
"Look it's a butterfly" is the last thing his daughter EVER said to him. Do you see?
The daughter keeps saying "look at the butterfly" as she plays with her hands many times. So when he is behind the glass container along with the woman and kid, he sees a butterfly tattooed on the woman's neck. Then he gets another flashback with his daughter.Originally Posted by Epical
I thought it was her telling him to take the dog or something? The butterfly was brought up a lot, in the ride to the helicopter, when he was picking up corn with the dog, tattoo on the woman, when the alpha male was trying to break in. I always thought it would have to do something more with the butterfly than his daughter always talking about it but meh.Originally Posted by Belkin
It was a good movie and I somewhat wished I read the book before seeing it.
I learned to always go to the 3-4pm showing to avoid all the stupid kids.
I thought he remembered the butterfly because of how the glass was breaking in the shape of a butterflies wings.Originally Posted by Meteora
Since i'm sick of the small text
Spoilers!!!
As he was contemplating what he should do, Anna and the kid were cowering in the corner. He looked back at them and saw the butterfly tattoo and (If I remember correctly) you can hear his daughter saying "Look its a butterfly!" in the back of his head. In the flashbacks it is revealed that his daughter was making hand gestures saying "Look its a butterfly!" as what I think is the last thing she ever said to him.
You have to pay attention to some of the "pointless" stuff that turns out to be not so pointless in the end. As he saw the tattoo, he remembered what his daughter said and he probably saw that as a message from a higher power and that everything happens for a reason.
End
I'm surprised more people didn't pick up on this. It was amazingly obvious considering when he looked at the butterfly his daughters voice said "look it's a butterfly daddy". Not to mention in the SUV she put her hands together and said "Look its a butterfly daddy" and she also did this before the helicopter she was in took off.Originally Posted by Belkin
I also thought it was pretty obvious, no offense to anyone ,_, Even the simple stuff like when the butterfly flies past the dog's nose, and she follows it... Learned long ago that GOOD movies don't have 'pointless' stuff, everything is in there for a reason. It makes the 'pointless' stuff actually stand out more, cuz you see it, think nothing of it, but then figure, hey, when will this come back up later, making it stand out all that much more when it comes time.
the glass was shattering like a butterfly was what made him look back and end up seeing the tattoo
The most annoying thing in this entire movie was the fucking camerawork. I can't tell you how many times I was trying to read some thing in the background that was panned past too fast, or the rage instilled by the cameraman thinking it would be an awesome idea to bob like a fucking pigeon while following Will Smith around walking. Not even running.
And yeah, the cracks from the lead vampire ramming the plexiglass made a butterfly pattern. Was like, two wings with antenna sticking out of the top.
yeah, think the "leader" guy was really angry at him cause he took his female. and he only said they were only getting worse as far as being not human because for whatever reasons (some already stated) didnt see the human qualities in them. The super crackers looked very organized and smart to me, just had the preserve the colony even at the cost of my life system going.
one of the smaller things i missed in the movie, was near the beginning. what was the clear liquid he was pouring on his porch steps?
Sam's death got me. mostly cause my dog I had for 16years who's name is also sam died couple weeks ago
I heard Arnold Swarzenagger was going to be the actor to play Nevil before they went with Will. My god I doubt the movie would have been anywhere near as good.
It was Vinegar if I remember correctly. Probably to cover up their scent ?Originally Posted by Souj
It was vinegar to disguise his body odor so the infected wouldn't find him. Initially I thought he was gonna set it on fire as a signal lol, of course, that's before they showed the beings <_<Originally Posted by Souj
May contain spoilers below!
Btw, how come all the utilities were working after, what 3-4 years? Just curious, never mind the fact the main character was in top notch physical and semi-mental health, more than proficient in firearms, and to top it all, a microbiologist who was immune to the virus lol >_> Other than that, I liked the movie t('-'t)
well, in his own house, they showed briefly that he has a few car batteries hooked up to what sounded like a generator. idk if they showed stuff working in other areas.
If people don't know spoilers are coming by now they're retarded.Originally Posted by Meteora
Anyways, the utilities working after so long, I can't explain that. I also can't explain why there were even deer on a flipping island. But he obviously worked out and scavenged for a lot of food.
EDIT: Good call on the generators.
Since he was in the military i'm sure he had some type of physical regimen and decided to keep with it.
Mental-health. He obviously wasn't all there. I think he did a fantastic job of portraying what would happen by yourself after 3-5 years.
Proficiency of firearms. Military training sticking with him?
Immunity. He explained that 1% (or was it 5%?) created a natural immunity, ~70% died, and the rest turned into the dark-walkers.
I thought he was under the train of thought that the only way he could strengthen his mind was to strengthen his body. Forgot if that even has a name. Also the military training had to stick with him and what else is he going to do to pass the time?
If you guys didn't like the ending, please read the book.
Overall, a fantastic movie, and all I was expecting was a good Dark Knight trailer lol.
