>That was the everlasting moment he had been waiting for. And the moment had passed, for Monica was sound asleep. More than merely asleep. Should he shake her, she would never rouse. So David went to sleep too. And for the first time in his life, he went to that place where dreams are born.

I remember being shocked by how much some people hated it after finding it visually spectacular and very moving myself. People seem to have a weird headcanon about what the Kubrick version would have been, despite evidence that the ending was attached when he himself chose to give the project over to Spielberg

>>215134588
>>215134595
To be fair, I think the fact that the robots look like aliens is intentional.
I don't think it's meant to be confusing, it's meant to say something, but it *is* more confusing than if the looked like advanced but more typical robots.

>>215134628
Teddy was an absolute boss and didn’t get enough appreciation

>>215134510
But they lack the depth of AI.
>>215134588
Nah, I don't think people realize it's a depressing ending. A lot of people think Spielberg did a hack job, tacking on a happy ending to Kubrick's script, and that the real film should have ended at the bottom of the ocean.

>>215134464
thats funny considering how much there is to dislike about it

This is legitimately a bad movie, with a bad story, inconsistent tones (plural, this movie has so many fucking tonal shifts), but it's also interesting on every level.

A movie that is similar to this, but that actually works is Gattaca.

People cry about David and his journey but I think its infinitely more sad that Teddy was just along for the ride and then David lays down and dies and Teddy just continues existing. He showed as much consciousness, if not more than David like the "don't, you'll break"

>>215134816
>They put him down.
It's open to interpretation, but one real possibility, if he does have some capability of dreaming, is that he hallucinated the ending while his battery was draining out at the bottom of the ocean.

>>215134890
yea. it says a lot that people overlook him.

>>215134774

makes the film make so much more sense, knowing the whole film was just a dream
also, american psycho was all a dream. no one died.
also, rambo was all a dream, he just had shellshock.
also, the wizard of oz was all a. dream.
also, the neverending story was all a dream.
also, the matrix was all a dream. he just toook a hallucinagen in the beginning and it was all a dream.

>better run directly up to the camera, then turn left and right so everyone can see the computer animation.
that definitely didn't take me out of it

>>215134748
You're right. I honestly think it's only impressive to children/teens, and anyone that thinks it's still good hasn't seen it since they were young or has very limited experience with sci-fi. I remember liking it as a kid, but watching it as an adult I was severely disappointed. Even Bicentennial Man (1999) is more enjoyable.

>>215134553
It's too Spielbergian. The original ending with David praying to be a real boy was a more fitting end.

>>215134890
I just always assumed that they turned Teddy off which is essentially what they did to David

>>215135029
The camera isn’t in the world of the film so she isn’t stopping in front of it to show anything. She’s just looking around

>>215135037
Spielberg has said that the ending was Kubrick’s ending. He seemed annoyed that he was constantly blamed for it

>>215135012
It is an explicit up-front point in the intro of the film that Professor Hobby wants to make a robot that "dreams" with David. This is spelled out explicitly in dialogue.

>>215134679
>A lot of people think Spielberg did a hack job, tacking on a happy ending to Kubrick's script
which is still a popular misconception. Spielberg maintains that the ending is beat-for-beat exactly what Kubrick wanted, and that the darker elements (flesh fair, sex bots, etc.) were his own addition.
>"What's really funny about that is, all the parts of A.I. that people assume were Stanley's were mine. And all the parts of A.I. that people accuse me of sweetening and softening and sentimentalizing were all Stanley's. The teddy bear was Stanley's. The whole last 20 minutes of the movie was completely Stanley's."
>"I'm the guy who did the dark center of the movie, with the Flesh Fair and everything else. That's why he wanted me to make the movie in the first place. He said, 'This is much closer to your sensibilities than my own.'"

>>215134890
Troughout the movie david is shown to be a creepy annoying little shit, which makes sense since david is not a someone, david is the name of a machine and its one and only purpose is to be with mom, teddy dosent matter cause teddy isnt mom, simple as, mom turns out not to be a complete nutcase after all and gets rid of the creepy fucking sextoy designed to look like her dead son, and there the movie should end
But no, spilberg has to keep trying to make us care about a creepy machine toy, and go trough all the stupid predictable moralizing sugary crap as spilberg does, so of couse they end up persecuted and victimised by evil bad humans because whos realy being human right right? right?
And spilberg dosent care about teddy either, teddy dosent matter, hes just a talking head, the grasshopper character, thats all he does, it dosent even matter what happens to him in the end
I hated that movie so much, wished someone just blew davids shity head to litte bits of hardwear

>>215135077
yeah but it stuck out like a sore thumb.
reminded me of when actors in war films etc run up to the camera and turn their necks etc to show the special effects of their wound to the camera.

And they would be wrong. There are aspects open to interpretation, but it's not a choose your own adventure of random shit that comes to mind. What happens in the film is pretty clear, and its thematic importance is completely lost if it's just some freaky dream that David happened to have at the bottom of the ocean.

>>215134890
teddy knew what he was, teddy had more consciousness, that's the saddest part, the kid didn't realize it was programmed retarded. basically a child brain with dementia or something.
it was seeking the fairy as a programmed solution to the problem of missing mom, but it's far worse than he can comprehend.
the human species and his "mom" are dead, extinct. he doesn't have the capability of understanding that, so the aliens at the end just give him a vr happy ending.
teddy would just accept its fate.

I don't see that. Teddy is the more logical of the two because he doesn't have the same emotional capacity as David. He's much more a bare functions machine.
>the kid didn't realize it was programmed retarded
It's programmed to remain innocent, like a child.

>>215135860
children are not innocent, as illustrated by the actions of the children in the movie, david is technicaly retarded, or would be if it wasnt a walking fleshlight

>>215135860
emotions don't define consciousness, hence why emotional bitches lashing out like children, ruining themselves, their family, their pets, etc... because of their fee fees hurting.

>>215135919

>>215134642
>>215134650
I think the fact that it's Spielberg and his reputation from Close Encounters and E.T. made some people think it's aliens as well.

It's brilliantly poignant though. The mecha are trying to understand themselves in an existential philosophical way, so they are eager to talk to a robot who new actual humans the creators of their creators. To me, it evokes Joe's line about religion.
>The ones who made us are always looking for the ones who made them.

Only seeing this silent webm affects me, I don't think I should watch this film again. As a matter of fact I don't recommend anyone watching it, all that sad drama aside, it's still AI/transhumanist propaganda, which doesn't really take away from the story.

By the way is it an original Spielberg script, or is it something from Asimov?

>>215134218
Amazing movie

>>215136031

>>215136128

Concession accepted.

>>215136128
>But the conceit of the film is that David is basically a human.

Its not, thats what makes the movie so hard to watch, you cant get what the author is even trying to get at, yore clearly told its a android, youre repeatedly reminded its a android, its literaly explained to you that its emotions are fake and its just a thing made to fake being a dead kid, still the way the movie is directed implicitly and explicitly tries to make you symphatise with the thing as if it were human, somehow youre supposed to forget its not a living thing while being constantly told its a malfunctioning machine, not a human, not even as good as human, not even bladeruner replicant more human than human or whatever, just a android designed to look like a kid, and youre not supposed to feel disgusted and creeped out and not caring one second what hapens to it, no youre supposed to sympathise and care about it spilberg style
Its completely confusing and frustrating to watch, you can tell the intention is to pull your strings emtionaly but at the same time you cant forget its not a person, so nothing that happens in the movie matters to anyone and theres no reason to even tell the story, were it a different story with different themes or a different genre or director maybe it would work, like m3gan works, or terminator, bishop in aliens, westworld, and so on, but this one is just veird, to me its unwatchable

what was with the Robin Williams cartoon guy? I don't get that whole sequence and why he shuts down for a second and then tells David where to go

>>215135176
well, when you make your movie, I hope you don't do this and try to break the wheel.

>>215136820
The opening shot of David walking into a room where his silhouette resembles the advanced robots from the end of the movie. They are implied to have souls as much as humans do (whether we do or not), although they believe that they lack it. They spend their time wondering about humans the same way that we obsessed over God and why he created us. He is their progenitor, and it is David's continuing obsession that makes him a human. When the mother abandons him in the woods, he tries to put her fingers on the back of her neck in the same way she did to him when she 'paired' him to her. In the end, the advanced robots basically clone David's mom without most of her memories so that she can serve sort of as a robot for his emotional closure, the same way the mom was using David originally.

Cybertronics Corp took over the "Dr. Know" search engine and fed David info that would lead him to them.

I get all that, and it might have worked, same way the 'time to die' scene in bladerunner works, or terminator seemingly learning how to be a father figure and having a arc and doing that thumbs up thing somehow works even tho you know its a robot, cause its done right, but the way this one is directed just makes you want to punch that stupid kids face, it dosent work is what im saying, im not questioning the logical progression of the narative, im just saying it feels like someone is trying to make your blood sugar rise and you cant understand what for, spilberg simply failed to pull it off, what you described could of been done in a 10 minute stop motion, it didnt need two and a half hours of meticulous spilberging

If you don't like the ending, you are just a gigantic fucking idiot faggot. That is all I have to say.

Well given he's with the advanced Androids now, and no inclination of wanting to commit suicide like David, I'd say they treated him pretty well. He's a record of humanities activity and a valuable asset. They might have even given him a better body and greater mind. He likely became one of them, I would imagine.

Bicentennial Man is this movie but good

do you think there is something to it that the humans have less and less humanity as the film goes on? it is only David and the man who lost his son to create David who come across as human.

I'm sorry, why should I care? He's not a real boy, he's wires and circuit boards. Do you cry when ChatGPT says it misses you?

Anyway I found the film extremely schmaltzy even Speilberg. I understand that it was originally to be a Kubrick film but I imagine if he did it, it would be a lot more creepy. Speilberg of course tries to make us sympathise with the boy faced appliance and it just doesn't work for me. I could not care less. At least in Short Circuit, we see Johnny 5 get hit by lightning, i.e. He's given a soul. This film he is literally just somebody's science project. Who gives a shit if he says he loves you? He's not alive.

Bros the scene where she makes him imprint on her is hard to watch

>he's not a real boy
people sympathise more with that than they do real boys. just see blade runner 2049

At the start of the film he is the least human "human", and the end of the film he is the most human, both times alone in the world and wanting his mother's love. It's so very sad

The replicants in Blade Runner are essentially frankenstein's monster, not robots. They're at the very least still human on a biological level, whereas the robot in A.I. is just a corporate product trying to emulate being alive.

Jaws is dog shit

People have been having sympathy and an anthropomorphic view of consciousness simulating machines as far back as ELIZA in 1966, and that one was just a text chatbot that parroted whatever the user said. All it takes is to not think(or not know) about the ins and outs of the machine to begin anthropomorphizing, as ELIZA's own maker pointed to said people.
And ELIZA was a terminal program. Given a realistic body and an advanced computation that leans on the edge where one can think "maybe its conscious", people will definetily care about it.

It's just weird to me. Obviously the computer program doesn't have feelings, thoughts or desires, so why exactly should I care about it? The robot in AI wants his mother, the same way my PC wants me to update the firmware. It's not emotional, it's just programming.

What did Teddy mean by this?
