Explore the film's deep dive into manufactured love, humanity's capacity for cruelty, and ultimately, discover where this sci-fi classic lands in the Spielberg filmography.

Short Summary

  • The narrative explores a world where advanced Mecas serve humans, centered on David, a robot child programmed for eternal love toward his mother, Monica.
  • David’s quest begins after abandonment, following the mythological Blue Fairy to become a "real boy" so he can regain his mother's affection.
  • Encountering a dangerous society that reviles technology, David ultimately finds an unexpected form of resolution with advanced beings centuries in the future.

Teddy was the real MVP of this movie.

An interesting side note: Haley Joel Osment, who plays David, came up with the idea that he should never blink his eyes. So in the entire movie, you only see his eyes close twice, once when the future robots revive him and second when he lays down next to Monica at the end. I always think Teddy looks completely heartbroken as we see him at the very end, sadly sitting down on the bed near them, now all alone. Also, this movie is criminally underrated. This is creativity at its best with many layers.

Haley Joel Osment was incredible in this. And the Sixth Sense. What a talented young actor. Difficult role to pull off.

This movie is deep, very deep. A criminally underrated movie.

When you first seen David and said "is he gonna be creepy?" I was like "no! he's gonna break your heart".

The movie is a test for humans to see if they can have empathy for a robot. If you felt for him, you passed that test.

I saw this in cinema and held back tears. When the audience exited to the corridors, I leaned against the far wall and watched the expressions of people coming out. All looked sad, some had obviously been crying, some still were. Among them, three little old ladies; friends out for a movie. They stepped aside and one opened her purse and passed tissues to her friends. They didn’t talk, they just consoled each other with a knowing smile, a touch on a forearm. It was a very human moment, very touching.

The thing about the movie is, that the robots are actually much more humane than any human.

What I always loved about this film is that Joe, a sex bot, who's only purpose was the please women, evolved throughout the film, learning to care for a child. He becomes a father figure. Thus proving that the mecha can evolve and adapt. He learned, in his own way, to love.
