The sound of them moving was a lot more unnerving for me, the sound of alien mechanics at work.

See Minority Report I understand, it's not for everyone.
A.I. I get, because it looks like one thing, when it is something very different.
War of the Worlds is understandable because that FUCKING PIECE OF SHIT KID re-watched the movie like 4 days ago by coincidence, still have her being a nuisance in my head wrecks any scene she opens her mouth in
But Catch Me If You Can?
That movie?
How the fuck can you hate that?

>>67060627
this is a definitive masterpiece you niggers
the little kid gives the performance of a lifetime
cruise is a god
the fact that you know only what the protagonists know is what makes this a patrician kinograph. it's not "durrr in 2003 tha aliens invaded the earth, here's what humans did to fight them". you literally follow a father and his two kids from the first moment they realize something is going down and then follow their adventure during the crisis.

I'm not entirely sure what you mean by this. Can you elaborate?

This. If anything it was the son that was punchable.

as someone once said, this is a masterpiece because "it's not about aliens, it's about humans".

The biggest complaint I heard for A.I. is that it completely fails at establishing what makes the kid special. What makes him a real A.I. when a lot of other robots have a lot more personality and display feelings/emotions.

And i get why they say that, but at the same time that's the point.
It's Pinovchio.
The point of Pinocchio is that the only thing different about him just before he gets turned into a real boy and when he is a real boy, is what his body is. He was a real boy all along. He made the same mistakes, learned the same lessons that every real boy must.
The only thing that changes in the entire story, is that he proves to himself and those around him that he's real. He earns the respect of others.

A big part of what A.I. shows, is that humans can't recognize intelligence, can't recognize life even if it's staring them right in the face, unless they themselves decide to call it that.

>The movie adopts the prudent formula of viewing a catastrophe through the eyes of a few foreground characters. When you compare it with a movie like "The Day After Tomorrow," which depicted the global consequences of cosmic events, it lacks dimension.
the dimension is the human one, you faggot.
damn, ebert was such a fucking pleb.

It changed the modern alien movie.

I'm not calling her performance bad, I'm calling it annoying as all hell.
If I thought she ruins the movie, I wouldn't have re-watched it. But at the same time, it's the kind of shit that pisses you off, even if you like it.

That or I'm still scarred from having a neighbour kid wake me up every single night for 3 years.

I can't agree with that. The main thing that sets David apart is his capacity to love a human. I think the movie shows this extremely well as David is shown to be entirely devoted to his mother to the point that he can't bear thinking of an existence without her.

I also don't really think that is the point though. I think the movie is mostly concerned with questions about what it is that constitutes human life, what qualifies as human and what makes us human. The other robots also show human traits, most notably fear of death, and I think they add to the movie's consideration of those questions.

I never took David's uniqueness to be the point of the film except as a jumping off point for an inquiry into the things I've just mentioned.

you sound like kind of a dummy mate

the characters are not unlikable to the point of wanting them to die unless you have a very superficial view of human beings. the characters are all flawed and there is an unbelievable amount of tension in their interactions because the traditional nuclear family (Spielberg's career-long obsession) has fallen apart.

The son survives at the end unscathed because it demonstrates to Cruise that his intervention was not necessary to prevent harm coming to his son. It is another threat to Cruise's ability to feel like a father, which he struggles with the entire movie, trying to discover ways in which he can adopt a role that he so completely lacks the ability to fulfill.

Anyway, people who complain about things like plot in a movie (especially when they can't understand symbolic experience) are usually the most basic kind of plebs so it's no surprise you hate this movie.

Don't know about the "only he can love someone" part, but the second part about what it means to be human is exactly what I meant.
A lot of people I talked to acted like the robots should act like a smartphone, not recognizing that them being much more than that, is exactly the point, showing that the difference between a "robot" and a human isn't clear as day.


Also on the "he alone can love" bit: It's been a while, so I'm not absolutely certain: But didn't we actually see robots display caring for eachother?

Also, though this might be reading a bit too much into it, I always felt like David is actually handicaped. It felt like he less grew to love his "mother" and more was... I guess desperate for meaning. He was basically programmed from birth, to unconditionally dedicate himself to these people. The movie felt like it was really just his natural programming running its course, while it was the other robots who tried to convince him to give it up.

It felt like he was the most bound out of all the robots we got to know.
