A.I.

 A.I.: Artificial Intelligence was not a very good movie but I can see why we watched it for class. It has shows a highly probable possibility for robotics of a sentient being that can feel and has motives of its own. That being said even if I did not find the plot appealing (too many aliens.) I do understand why we watched it for class and feel it was not a waste of my time.

I feel like A.I. showed less about robots and more about people. I find the reactions to sentient robots fascinating. Instead of being marveled at for all the work that was put into David and how well he prospered in a family environment his family focused on what he could not be and what he could not comprehend.  Such as the brother treating David as a toy instead of a brother or his friends treating him as an experiment to see if he could feel. However at the flesh fair both the little girl and the angry crowd viewed him as a real boy who was afraid instead of a robot with a cold steel heart. This shows that if you didn't have prior knowledge of his creation you could not tell he was machine. I feel the main idea I got from A.I even if it wasn't the intended one was that people will always find ways to hate. Even if we can't explain what the reasons for that hate are.
