A.I.: Artificial Intelligence

Two masters created a masterpiece, fitting yes? Absolute standard imo of this genre. Watched it many many times and each time it gets more under my skin. Simply superb on all grounds related to movie making. The ending is one of thé best ever

Heartbreaking, Artificial Intelligence is a Pinocchio retelling, a lesson in responsibility as well as in the dangers of prejudice, selfishness and emotional dependence. There are people who have kids for their personal benefit, sometimes monetary. There are also those who adopt living creatures and later abandon them. As conscious beings we owe the innocent our respect and attention. This film deeply affected me in my youth, and its moving story can hold great meaning to some viewers. In terms of production, Artificial Intelligence is nearly peak cinema: cinematography, use of color, music and exposition… almost every detail is accounted for in this wonderful movie. As a young man, this was the first film I noticed had poor scripting: if actors are explaining instead of doing, if their lines are senseless, or if you feel something off with character or plot, then it’s often the writing. Had the director gone with a slightly less human presentation for the artificial cast (whether in physical aspect, vocal tone or otherwise), the film might have done better at the box office. As it stands, A.I. can be an uncomfortable watch, dealing with issues in an unflattering manner. The pace is less than ideal, and the plot suffers from the lack of urgency. Despite these setbacks, A.I.’s many themes, excellence in production and touching performances elevate it to an enjoyable experience for some and an inspirational one for others.

This movie stuck in my mind ever since I saw it. Haley's performance is frighteningly gripping. The everlasting love for mother radiates from his eyes. Yes, it is a bit of a rhinestone kind of scifi. But Haley makes it work.

I found the perfect epitome of this movie's bad reviews: "a cracked a bottle of Champaign when the movie finally finished.". A cracked. Champaign. If your IQ is instead well above 65, and attended at least primary school, you'll love this movie.

They asked the important questions: “what if we made blade runner, but worse and with child actors?”

A amazing movie that shows that a ai boy did many things for his mom

This movie made me cry when I watched it as a child with my mom. It made her cry too. It's a very powerful movie that is very emotionally penetrative to certain people, particularly young boys and mothers. You really develop a strong connection with Osment's character, David. And even his companions, Teddy and Gigolo Joe (Jude Law) are very likeable. The movie had a lot to juggle (such as emotions, technology, character development and the actual plot) and did so very well. Being a 140 minute movie I think it could have benefited to being a little bit longer with how much there was to juggle. It didn't feel like anything was missing, but this masterpiece could have been close to 3 hours and still been easy to watch through the whole thing, I believe. I think Spielberg was a little too conservative with screentime but didn't have to be. The main idea of this movie is very sensitive, you essentially have a boy abandoned by his mother. This sensitivity is compounded by the fact that he's mecha, so the same support there would be for a human aren't there. This really exposes the vulnerability of being a young child, and highlights the importance of a mother's role in parents. Spielberg really took two very different ideas, and just combined them perfectly to explore a new realm that is often overlooked because of the family's or even government's intervention that acts as a much needed safety net.

This movie can be quite moving maybe for East Asians, who study hard to face the college entrance examination. And it's very useful to watch this movie so that we and they can think about the temper we do to our children twice and it can make us love our family more, no matter whether our child is a robot or not In the end, Monica may not die but stay alive forever from another planet, and her story with David in one day after 2000 years may be her dream that controled by those advanced AI robots, but when she is awake she'll make some password so that robots on earth can't bring back her again, so you know it's entirely possible to continue this story to make a second movie after it, to finish our audience nearly 23-year cold dream (from 2001 to 2024(now)) with a warm and happy ending from when we watched this movie as children. What's more, I think David in this movie may have some Kubric's emotion and habits, in other words, David may be some parts of Kubric himself. Last but not least, it is not only about A.I., but more about ourselves, mankind, and our family's. And that love from robots is also a beautiful and unrealistic willing that we human should or may have in the future from writers of this movie.

En la primera hora esta entretenida pero a partir de esa hora ya es un pestiñazo

A.I. Artificial Intelligence - 9/10. Steven Spielberg’s A.I. is a tribute production towards his friend and contemporary Stanley Kubrick. Originally designed to be a movie that would have been directed by Kubrick, Spielberg took over the reigns using the script Kubrick had made specifically for the film. Its a futuristic tale that puts a spin on the old tale of Pinnochio. When a robotic child is brought into a home, he is discarded when there is a jealousy that comes about from the families biological child. As the child tries to reunite with the mother of the family, someone he felt he had a genuine bonding with, he ventures into a dark and grimy world. Interacting with various individuals along the way, the child and a robotic teddy bear go in search of the one thing they desire: love. Its a brilliantly understated movie, which some people have sadly overlooked in the careers of the two giants that were part of the production. But, its a beautiful tale of what it means to have emotions and feelings, and what it means to be human. A.I. was one of those movies growing up that I didn’t understand the true meaning on first watch. It seemed boring or uninteresting. It only dawned on me as I got older that theres a genuine beauty to this film, one that many other films can’t achieve. The movie isn’t one of my all time favourites of Spielberg, but its surely one of his most unique and endearing films (with a surprisingly dark overtone towards it). Its ending is so bittersweet, but truly tells you one thing: appreciate the fact that you have people in your life that you can love. Cause sometimes, the people that don’t have it, will yearn for it in ways that we will never understand or grasp a hold on. Love is an important thing, and if you have it in your life, cherish it!
