Artificial Intellignce: A.I. (2001)

True, so maybe the ending was Speilberg's idea & the rest is pretty dark in places

So, maybe leaving David trapped there with the Blue Fairy would have been for the best
 
still a 'happily ever after' fan here. don't really see anything wrong with it either:D
 
that's true. i'll admit that it didn't really sim to fit with the rest of the film, but i guess it's just the screenwriter in me that says 'it was their choice and accept it as part of the movie as a whole.' if the end makes you not like the whole movie, that's one thing, but if you like the movie despite not liking a piece of it than it was still a good movie.
 
Well said there tokyo!

There was reasons for it to end like how it did & it's not really for us - the general public to question why the film makers chose to end it like that
 
sometimes one scene, or the lack of one scene, can ruin an entire movie. but most of the time i try to just accept the bits i don't like. just like life, things don't always go the way you want.
 
True, there's somethign behind why that particular endign was choosen over the one(s) that could have been used
 
Well, I like the ending. I personally love both happy endings and not so happy endings. But I think for this movie I totally was looking forward to the happy ending, although it wasn't exactly happy. But definitely was the boy was looking through all the movie being love by his mother and feel like a real kid. So I don't feel dissapointed. :D

Krystal :p
 
I really love this movie, I have to admit that I'm one that cry in a lot of scenes with David. :( The story was so cool, and sad at the same time. I totally enjoy Jude as the Android, he do a great job. :D
It was a very touching story for me personally. :p

Krystal ;)
 
i think the movie ended well because by the end david got everything he ever wanted. he had one perfect day with his mother, and he finally had friends and was accepted. what more do you need in life?
 
I specially like when he tells David that find him save him. You know in the show when David don't let go of him. :D

Krystal :cool:
 
how many people can actually say they had one perfect day in their whole life?
 
that part was cool. plus, you could totally see things getting to that point if we did have a bunch of robots doing human things
 
Probably right, we humans tend to let our emotions cloud us some times. And probably seen androids take our places will make us do some drastic things. Although I found it very cruel. :(

Krystal :p
 
Yes, I have, and lots of other people have too - we have a Spielberg forum down below were there are some chats about this interesting and beautiful film.

>>>I will move the thread there sometime in the next day so you don't wonder where it has disappeared to!
 
Re: The 'Thinnies'

I've read that it's a fairly common misconception by people that the stereotypical alien-looking 'thinnies at the end of 'A.I.' are E.T.s.

They are definately meant to be highly evolved robots in the movie, firstly, because they are in the original book, and also because these robots (in the film) mention themselves that David is their ancient ancestor. (I guess if they were aliens a robot could still be their ancestor, but that would make the plot even more confusing.)

I think that is pretty conclusive evidence, but I still think that it's not absolutely clear in the film itself. Do you think Speilberg was being intentionally vague?

Or, does it just add to the fact that his ending was shoddy and ill conceived? :D
