Absolutely, when I first saw it in completely blew my mind. It's only flaw is its greatest strength as a work of art. It is thoroughly depressing, while somehow being enlightening. I have watched it when not being in a good place mentally and it was a miserable experience all round and I had to turn it off. My point to this is, anyone who has watched it and perhaps found it long winded, and depressing... it is, but it is great art and I suppose that it should be. But if this ever happened to anyone out there on first viewing and it took you out of the vibe, maybe one day give this movie another go because it can be absolutely amazing. Just... brilliant.

@@MrJC1 Life's too short for anything depressing - it's a total waste of time. Only fill your mind with positive things that are going to benefit you and other people. This is how you keep in a positive frame of mind and build up reserves and resiliance. For example, 'One Piece' on Netflix is positive and is surprisingly deep - it has lots of positive truths on how to approach life. It's got a lot more to offer than the film AI that's for sure!

I really had no idea what this movie was going to be about until I saw it, which was the worst timing ever, I saw this movie a couple weeks after my mother passed away. That ending 😭, once was more than enough.

This movie has aged like a fine wine. I actually find it even more moving today than when it first came out. It's haunting; it stays with you in the same way "The Shining" has left such a lasting impact on many of us. Goes to show that sometimes a film comes out at "the wrong time" in history. The fact that it has been reappraised and discovered by a whole new audience speaks volumes...However, on the other hand the way it's kind of predicting the path we are going down is...Unsettling! To say the least!

This is such a fascinating film. And I think highly underrated. It's a two-part structure like a lot of Kubrick films where there basically could be more than one ending. On top of that, half of the film is obviously an homage to Kubrick while the rest is straight up Spielberg. I think it's a fascinating combination that is worthy of viewing.

This is my favourite movie because of it's great storytelling and entertainment. The scene where David (Haley Joel Osment), is abandoned in the forest by his mum, is truly heartbreaking. Haley outdid himself.

Kubrick wrote the script similar to a Spielberg Film as he was directing it, Spielberg in turn wrote in Kubrick elements as an homage to him.

For some reason he was the Jimminy cricket of the story given it was based on Pinocchio.

I don't dare to see this movie again....

Isn’t it interesting that David was lauded as an unprecedented construct capable of love and “following one’s dreams”, etc., yet ultimately, was bound to his obsessive pre-programmed protocol that surrounded his imprinting on Monica, his “mother”. It bound him and made him almost seem less than Human behaviorally (or a Human that was sick in the head at best). It was all of the other obsolete Mechas that showed true compassion, love, and the ability to think, question, and behave well and far beyond their original programmed parameters and function: consider Teddy and Joe for example; they understood the concept of love and the “Human Spirit” much more than David in their dialogue alone. They both loved and protected David more than anybody else. I always remember that lady in the stands at the Flesh Fair that exclaimed as fact that “Mecha don’t plead for their lives!”. Yet, before David showed up on stage, you had the Gardener and Chris Rock Mechas bargaining for continued existence any way they could just short of breaking Asimov’s Laws of Robotics. They wanted to live in harmony with Humanity. They did not want to die.

Very good question!

Fantastic video! A.I. is a masterpiece. I saw it in the theater when it was first released and initially thought it should've ended with David at the foot of the Blue Fairy statue, but subsequent viewings showed me the brilliance and silent heartbreak of the last act. One thing that infuriates me, and has nothing to do with the movie, is that people to this day still think the beings at the end are aliens. They're not; they're super advanced robots.

I really like this movie but it always seemed that the movie was rushed into finishing it. For example, Monica's son has been in an induced coma for years then just after she imprints herself into David he's suddenly cured. Bit of a coincidence don't you think? After that the movie speeds up between scenes like they are racing towards the end of the story as fast as they can. It all seemed to be telling less of a story into finishing the project. Like the dead hooker scene. There was nothing to explain that as well as David deciding to fall off the building knowing that he would in all likelyhood die. At the end, we don't see the world collapse into a barron permafrost but only what is left. Although I still really enjoy the film, it just seems to be incomplete to me.
