A.I. Artificial Intelligence

     Futuristic, packing so much aesthetic beauty... A.I. Artificial Intelligence takes place in a world, more post-disaster with less people in the world. Robots are designed in these times that reflect remarkable human emotion to keep people company. A mother and father with a sick child kept frozen until a cure could be found for his disease adopt one of these models, David, a little boy made to show the love of a child to it's owners. After owning David and activating his human emotions, the couple gets to take their real child home. Their child messes with David, causing him to get into situations that make him seem dangerous. The mother decides to abandon him and drops him off in the woods. From that point on, he embarks in a dangerous journey to get back to his mother, meeting many other people, robots, and aliens.
     A.I. is the type of film that can't be put into a paragraph. It is one of my absolute favorite Steven Spielberg films, a meticulous director, as discussed in class. Every element of this film was taken into consideration and flourished.
    Visually, A.I. has a lot of appeal. Spielberg had a perfect vision of what the future could look and actually be like without exceeding reality with exaggeration(when the film still has humans around.) There is nothing better to me than believable fiction, so the production design was pretty damn good. The screenplay/script was on point along with the acting. It had to be dissected and executed just right, or it could have been a flop. Spielberg's directing kept you in the story for the plot and how he moved it along, and emotionally because of the delivery of the actors. Once again, John Williams being the composer only did it good.
     Steven Spielberg did an excellent job as a director (as he does in most of his films.) I feel like the personal appeal this film has and the emotional ties makes me completely biased and hinders my ability to type a good review, because all I want to talk about is moments versus something more critical. I suppose that drawing a person/audience in like that is the main objective of many people when they create and/or direct a film.
