David, a robotic boy—the first of his kind programmed to love—is adopted as a test case by a Cybertronics employee and his wife. Though he gradually becomes their child, a series of unexpected circumstances make this life impossible for David.

obsessed with the fact that kubrick primarily wrote the 1st & 3rd act’s sentimental parent/son relationship while spielberg added the 2nd act’s jude law sex robot storyline and not the other way around. just goes to show ya — don’t judge a director by their past filmography’s central themes!
I promise you will never in a million years guess where the plot of this movie goes
Only Kubrick and Spielberg, working together on different time planes, could create such a philosophical and intellectual heartbreaker.
I was already 16 years old when “A.I.” hit theaters on the last weekend of June 2001, but Steven Spielberg’s unnerving techno-fable has always felt like the last film that I ever saw as a child.
To a certain extent, of course, everything that happened before the end of that summer would soon be recast in a soft new light. Spielberg had imagined the World Trade Center would serve as a lasting memorial for our entire species more than 2,000 years in the future, poking through the ice floor of a frozen New York City like two ancient footstones in a half-forgotten graveyard; when the Twin Towers collapsed less than three months later, the adults on TV commemorated the carnage…
jesus fucking christ.
i had gone my entire life never having seen A.I. and only vaguely grasping what the movie even was, but i went into it functionally blind and… did not know what i was getting into. what a devastating fucking movie. a film that posits love as a life-giving and life-destroying force, the spark in an endless cycle of destructive, wholly-encoming grief, and the finger that can eventually snuff it out. as soon as we meet David, there’s not a single moment of this movie without a calamitous sense of dread hanging over it. the circumstances of his very existence won’t allow for a happy ending. his quest won’t allow a happy ending. the eventual end of his…
100/100
A graceful, yearnful masterwork of connection and evolving artificiality within the tattered seams of the human heart. Reflections, sunrises, and countless other grand images compliment a bittersweet story laced with impenetrable darkness.
Top 3 Spielberg.
Somehow I had forgotten that this is one of the greatest films ever made.
Now I why I was so scared of this film as a child 😳
Emotionally conceptual and conceptually emotional―a spiritual, sentimental and melancholy depiction of the end of humanity as a mechanized visual echo of ourselves lost in eternity. ages in this are among the most soulful and lyrical there have ever been.
Haley Joel Osmont gives maybe the best child performance of all time in this, first terrifyingly inert in his programmed cheerfulness, then Uncanny Valley sweet in David's fully activated "realism," only to feel truly human as he wades among the more primitive models of his kind, who tellingly view him as a master to be served and less one of their own. The shotgun wedding of Spielberg's bold, splashy sense of scale and Kubrick's frosty satirical bleakness produces intriguing combinations. See how Henry brings home David in a profoundly thick belief that his wife might displace her grief with a disturbing mockery of a toy (such a cutting Kubrickian touch), only for David to, when fully programmed, refer to her…
Did not expect this to fuck me up this much....
Ok edit: it has been made clear to me that this probably fucked me up so much because my boyfriend is watching my dog right now and I think he (my dog, not my boyfriend) thinks I’m dead and he’s basically my David, does that TRACK....
Spielberg has very blatantly lied before - ie taking credit for the more absurd and criticized aspects of Crystal Skull even though Lucas had already itted they were his ideas - but there's no reason to believe that he was pulling our leg (or even exaggerating) with attributing the supposed sentimentality of AI's ending to Kubrick, and even in of mere concept alone the ending - with its advanced robots 2000 years in the future discovering the last robot to have ever had human . People tend to forget that Kubrick is a distinctly situational filmmaker, something more common towards more blatantly humorous directors, and is generally content to absolve drama for merely exploring the dynamics of what exactly…
