I Am Legend Does Fred (the mannequin) from the movie move his head?

My friends and I have been having heated debates over the fact that the part of the movie from I am legend when will smith sees Fred (the mannequin) on the street. Some of my friends would swear on their lives that he does indeed move his head for that brief moment. I on the other hand know for a fact that he doesn’t move his head. I brought this to you reddit to see once and for all who is the right one, my friends or I?

I just looked at this clip, and to me it definitely looks like his head is moving. Here’s the change.

Yes, his head is moving in the clip. But, crucially, is it moving in “reality”? Nope. Probably. As the movie takes pains to show that this is seen exactly from Smith’s POV, it’s surely meant to be just a symptom of his growing “madness from loneliness.” The only other possibility is that the “creatures” have regained enough intelligence to make their “human traps” extremely subtle. Personally, I like this idea; but the director’s frenetic/animalistic portrayal of the “night things,” as well as the way he changed the movie’s original ending (which hinted at a deeper manner of thought and “inter-relationships” among the creatures) makes it hard to justify this interpretation (–which would mean that they could build delicate servo-motor contraptions with hidden power sources and motion-sensor triggers…and these are creatures that can’t even hold still when they sleep).

That’s so weird, why would the director show that tiny little detail in the movie? Common sense told me that there was no way the director would go through the trouble of making the head move because it is such a subtle detail. But i do like the possibility that it’s from smith’s POV and he’s going crazy from the loneliness.

I seem to remember thinking to my self “did that things head just move?” Doesn’t really help though huh?

yup i guess you were right, urbanplowboys link shows it the best. DAMN YOU FRED!!!
