A.I.: Artificial Intelligence	comment	A.I.: Artificial Intelligence is a 2001 American Science Fiction film written and directed by Steven Spielberg. Adapted from the Brian Aldiss short story "Super-Toys Last All Summer Long", the film notably originated as a project by Stanley Kubrick before he eventually personally handed it over to Spielberg.In the 22nd century, global disasters have drastically reduced the human population. In an effort to maintain human society, humanlike androids called mechas are developed and programmed to simulate humanlike behavior and emotions. Among them is an advanced prototype named David (Haley Joel Osment), a child robot with the ability to virtually feel love, rather than simulate the appropriate behaviors.The Cybertronics company tests out David on two of its workers, Henry and Monica Swinton, whose son Martin has been placed under suspended animation until a cure can be found for his rare disease. Though Monica is initially afraid of this artificial child, she eventually warms to him after activating his imprinting protocol, which irreversibly causes him to feel love for his new "mother".However, disaster strikes after Martin is cured, leaving David cast off and alone with his mechanical teddy bear companion Teddy, searching for his place in the world, ultimately embarking on a journey to find his own humanity alongside Gigolo Joe (Jude Law), a "love mecha" also on the run after one of his clients is killed.A.I. had started development under Kubrick in the early 1970s, with him hiring a long series of writers to try to bring his vision to life (even Aldiss himself), but it languished in Development Hell for years due to the limitations of CGI, which Kubrick believed would be necessary to bring the childlike robot hero to life. Eventually, the film's treatment was written by Ian Watson (of Inquisition War fame), and in 1995 Kubrick gave the role of director over to Spielberg, believing it to be closer to his directorial taste. The film was then put on hold due to Kubrick's commitment to Eyes Wide Shut, and would not be properly restarted with Spielberg leading until Kubrick's death in 1999. In addition to directing, Spielberg also wrote the screenplay from Watson's treatment, making A.I. one of only three films he wrote as well as directed (the others being Close Encounters of the Third Kind and The Fabelmans).In a rather interesting footnote in video game history, an officially licensed game based on this film was considered at one point as an initial launch title for the original Xbox, which was released the same year as the film. Due to the massive amount of media attention given to the film, Microsoft even considered making the proposed game the primary tentpole title for their new console. But when the game was cancelled, they were forced to pin their hopes on a different game instead—ultimately settling on a certain first-person shooter that you may have heard of.

He also makes an on-screen appearance as a technician in a scene where David is repaired after eating spinach. Ministry as some sort of "house band" for the Flesh Fair - their song "What About Us?" is featured prominently in the scene, but the group themselves are largely in the background save a brief closeup or two.

No one from Cybertronics ever seems to check in on David's progress, despite him being an obvious prototype. Martin isn't given ground rules to follow or carefully introduced to David. No one at the flesh fair thinks it's odd a child is locked in the cage until a little girl points it out. While some of the guards may have known David was a robot, clearly not all of them did.

It's aided by the fact that the flesh fair is implied to have melted a real human before, and the crowd isn't completely convinced David is actually a mecha (his model has yet to be made public, and child robots in general were implied to still be incredibly taboo and not commonly available, plus the fact David begs for his life, a very un-robot thing to do).

The vehicle he is in is unharmed, and the old ferris wheel which collapsed over him looks like it had the majority of its aging between the flooding of New York and falling over. Justified by the plot of the Alternate Reality Game accompanying the film, which reveals that 40 years after the movie's events, an A.I. used nanomachines saturated into the world's oceans to freeze the planet after The Singularity. The entire ocean froze down to bedrock rather than just sheets of ice on the surface, meaning there would be no glacial movement.

She can only live for a single day though and the process cannot be repeated. Thus, David spends the happiest day of his life playing with Monica and Teddy.

Like the one where he "breaks" after eating human food. The main character's actions can be very unnerving sometimes, which gives a subtle indication that in spite of his emotions and fleshy exterior, he is still a machine. The thrown away, out-dated robots that are seen rummaging through a pile of leftover robotic parts in the forest also qualify, but most definitely the "nanny" robot, who happens to be missing 3/4s of her head. Jude Law's face was sprayed with latex, and his hairline was painted to make it look like a seam, thus make him bizarrely too-perfect to look real.

The mother just straight up abandons him in the woods when she needs to get rid of him, which could have potentially ended with David as scrap and any data lost. And this is the least of the problems. Ideally, David's test run would be done on a childless couple to remove any potential variables. Instead, the family has a living if currently comatose son who eventually wakes up, which is a huge variable. Did no one think to consider how David would treat a potential rival for his mother's affections? David went into full-on murder mode when confronted with another David. The family should thank their lucky stars David didn't snap Martin's neck as a threat to his relationship with Monica. Even when Hobby tries to justify his hands-off approach, he outright admits his observational lapses.

Presumably, Professor Hobby intended to iron out the flaws through gauging David's reactions to different stimuli. David is designed to imprint on a single parent, rather than a couple, so he forms an unhealthy fixation rather than seeing both as caregivers. David is meant for a childless couple, and thus proves fairly suggestible when their actual child is introduced into the equation. Could have been worse, given what happens next. David doesn't understand that he is a type of robot, believing himself to be unique. Seeing another of his model goes poorly, to say the least.

This is generally regarded as an homage to Stanley Kubrick's style of cinematography. Whether intentional or not, the film has a few Disney related references, some blatant, others subtle. There's the entire Pinocchio plot, but then we have Monica playing "Once Upon a Dream" from Sleeping Beauty to her cryogenically frozen son... She's then also humming the tune later before going to a party with her husband and as they're leaving her shoe slips in a Cinderella moment. There is a possible reference to TRON, the bikers sent to collect robots for the flesh lights are on Tron-esque bikes and have Tron Lines. Gigolo Joe dancing down the street and on a puddle is a Shout-Out to Singin' in the Rain. This may, by extension, be a Shout-Out to A Clockwork Orange which very prominently featured the title song. When Johnson-Johnson is rounding up the stray robots, he repeatedly calls out "Any old iron!" This is an In-Joke, as that was a phrase that junkmen used to call out in the streets in Great Britain's earlier days, and actually became the title of a famous turn-of the century music hall hit.

The nano-machines function as mirrors to reflect sunlight when activated, but eventually form a single neural network and gain sentience.
