love transcends!!! thats what happened in this movie...
This has to be one of my favorite movies of all time!!!! the characters and acting is unbelievable, and the story line is amazing it shows the true nature of the world and how the determination of a young boy is put in place, its one of the best Science Fiction movies ive seen!!!!
I loved the film the first time I saw it! It was so touching and the music was so haunting. Every time it plays on television I watch it over again. Not unlike my other favorites "Wizard of Oz" and "The Phantom of the Opera".
It is excellent. After the movie finished I wondered how a robot tries for thousands of years to live one day with love but we humans have many beautiful emotions but we ignore them in a second.
I love the plays, story and finally the theme of this movie.
I THOUGHT THIS MOVIE WOULD BE DUMB, BUT I CRIED EACH TIME I WATCHED IT, AND I DON'T CRY WATCHING MOVIES
I love Haley Joel Osment, but I HATED this movie. I went into it thinking how wonderful it would be, and I kept that thought for a long time, until I just started to realize that it was just... messed UP. It could've been a very nice movie. But that ending? Ugh! The lights came up and there was total silence in the movie theater. Usually people applaud after a movie, for some reason. There was no applause. There was nervous laughter and then everyone left. This movie ... bluh.
Trivia imdb:
*When work began on the movie in 1993, Joseph Mazzello was cast as David.
*Stanley Kubrick worked on the project for 12 years before his death, but along the way decided to let Steven Spielberg direct saying it was "closer to his sensibilities". The two collaborated for years, resulting in Kubrick giving Spielberg a complete treatment and lots of conceptual art for the film prior to his death.
*Haley Joel Osment suggested to Steven Spielberg that his character (David) should not blink. Spielberg agreed and went further to suggest that none of the androids should blink.In fact, several of them do.
*One of the reasons for Stanley Kubrick waiting so long to make the film, is that he wanted David (Haley Joel Osment) to be played by an actual robot. After Jurassic Park (1993) was made, Kubrick looked into using digital computer effects to create David.
ie!...
This was an excellent movie. I don't understand how people can be disappointed, bored, etc.. of it. One person even said they hated Haley Joel Osment??? how can they say that they haven't even met him and his acting skills in this movie are better than what any other child actor could do. Heck he's better than any adult actor to.
Jude law shows a great performance to and i admit the story line is a little messed up but that's probably what makes it such as good movie
