A.I. Artificial Intelligence
 

Stone from Hell, U.S.A. on 2001-06-30 15:48 [#00011546]



I saw this film, released yesterday in the united states,
and it was fascinating. I can't even explain to you how I
feel about this movie or even what it was about because it's
filled with so many ideas, and strings...the movie could
have ended at 4 or 5 different points, but I think the
ending was nice.

Seeing this makes me really wish Aphex and Chris Cunningham
would go back and do the Neuromancer project.

Anyone else seen this? Thoughts?

Stone.

saw it last night, before it came to the underwater part i
thought 'wow, one of the coolest things ive seen in awhile'
ending completely pissed me off, it should've ended half a
hour earlier...Jude law as the prostitute and the
performances and special fx were very interesting though

i mean i wish it was over at the underwater part.

real or fake band

Say did anyone hear about why in the commercials that it
says Artificial Intelligence under the AI symbol? Well..
originally it was going to be just AI.. but there was a
cross sampling of a bunch of americans and it was too
confusing, to be confused with A1 the steak sauce... you
know.. like barbacue.. steak? Sauce?. thats funny.


 

Stone from Hell, U.S.A. on 2001-07-01 11:47 [#00011630]



Yes, the state of American Intelligence is an oxymoron in
and of itself.

Matt Lauer, (prettyboy good voice) anchor of the Today show,
the National Broadcasting Systems' (NBC) morning show,
pronounced the movie A-1 and got a basket full of A-1 steak
sauce from Mr. Speilberg himself.

i saw the movie yesterday, and while i considered it a great
flick, it fuckin pissed me off. not once did any of the
professionals in the film ever mention the potentially
dangerous reprocussions of making a machine that can feel.
the father was the only one who even made a brief mention of
it, and he obviously didn't care enough to do anything about
it (he let his wife make the decision herself eventually).
many other petty things throughout the movie i could go on
an on ranting about, but i'd be here all day and many of you
would be sick of me by then. the biggest thing i must
mention, though...instead of making the boy/robot the "hero"
of the story, he should have been the villain. they should
have made him freak out and go on a human-killing rampage
once he was rejected by the mom he loved so much. would have
been much creepier, and not so goddamn sappy. like i'm gonna
be happy that a fucking robot gets to live his dreams
because he tried hard enough.

sorry about ranting, had this in me head for a while now.

I saw AI opening night and walked away with mixed feelings.
I wouldn't mind seeing it again, but Kubrick's and
Speilberg's ideas conflicted a lot. And the ending was most
definitely a surprise, but you get the feeling that
Speilberg couldn't help but throw that in there... like he
ran out of ideas or didn't feel like staying with Kubrick's
original thought. Bad idea for the most part. Overall, it
was entertaining to watch and I liked seeing the different
Kubrickian influences throughout the movie, especially
through the robot gigolo and some other moments. Speilberg
also added in, which I find quite interesting, references to
older films by Kubrick. For those who have seen the movie
already, recall the scene at the "Flesh Fair" when the bear
robot toy first sneaks into the park and a worker snatches
him and carries him away. The whole time the bear robot is
saying "David [the name of the main character], where's
David, have you seen David... David." This just seemed like
an obvious parallel to the computer Hal from 2001: A Space
Odyssey, one of Kubrick's most well recognized films. The
part I'm talking about from 2001 is when Dave Bowman is
trying to disconnect the malfunctioning Hal. All the while
Hal is begging with Dave, "Dave. I'm afraid ... I'm afraid,
Dave ... Dave ... my mind is going..." Those are just my
observations anyway.

On a side note, Chris Cunningham worked with Kubrick for AI
in the 80s, helping him design and build robots.

im pretty sure the ending would have been different if
Kubrick was still alive..It seemed like a spielberg-type
ending....argh

On a different note, I say The Fast And The Furious last
night. Ohhhaaaa it was a fucking great movie.


 

Aron? from Canada on 2001-07-01 22:13 [#00011681]



Rephlex: the bitch at the movie theater wouldn't let me in
to Fast and th furious. She thought I was too young, and I
didn't have any ID or anything on me, so I couldn't prove I
was over 14!

But then I went to party and had a grand time.


 

Xploding-Ken from Norway on 2001-07-01 22:44 [#00011684]



Did'nt Chris work on A.I?


 

|REFLEX| from Western Canada on 2001-07-01 23:19 [#00011686]



Aron?: that movie was the SHIT! fast and the furious was
fucking cool.
