In Memoriam of Stanley Kubrick.

Movie Originally a Kubrick work. Finished by Spielberg in honor of the famous Director.

The only problem with this movie is the prolonged ending (or double ending, ending of last scene goes to final scene. abit confusing but when you see it you will agree.)

Contains both styles of Spielberg and Kubrick.

In the future where intelligent robots look so much like humans, one scientist invents a robot boy who can truely love the person who "imprints" him. This scientist is played by William Hurt who gives the boy to a couple who's son is in suspended animation. What happens is very interesting and asks the question are we ready for robot children? are we going to truly love them? We find out later that Hurt's character's son is the reason he invented "David" because his son was killed when he was young. This should have been shown earlier to give William Hurt's character a little bit more reason to be creating "David" then for it to be a surprise later on. We see other aspects of this future with intelligent robots including some that work in the red light district we meet Gigolo Joe (Law) a mecha (robot). Joe is a very interesting character and brings some humor to this otherwise dark drama. We also get to see a new form of avant garde entertainment called the "Flesh Fair" a demolition of Robots because the owner of the show believes that the robots are going to rule us not us ruling them. "David" (played by Osment after his role in "Pay it Forward") loves the story "Pinochio" of a wooden puppet that wants to be a real boy. Out of wonder "David" wants to be a real boy so people will love him more. But sometimes wishes don't come true and that's what makes this movie a non-children film, because of the subject matter. As I mentioned earlier, There are what seems to be two endings. One according to me and other people I know is far better than the real ending. I think Spielberg was trying to go for a happier ending but a movie like this doesn't really need one. not all movies need to have a happy ending.

Superb acting and story up until the ending. Good special effects except for "Blue Fairy" in bad ending scene. 9 1/2 /10 for bad ending that made the movie sub par and not spectacular.
