2001
Haley Joel Osment, Jude Law, Frances O'Conner
A young couple trial a mecha (robot) boy as a new child for them as their son is terminally ill. However, when the boy's human mother (O'conner) imprints on David (Osment), ethical implications are put into place and David will stop at nothing to get the unconditional love of his mother.
I have always loved this film, even if the ideas within it still freak me out 11 years later. Should we give emotions and feelings to robots who don't have the ability to control them? Should we rely so much on technology? and when robots become old should we desecrate them in front of a baying crowd for our own sick pleasure? The Flesh Fair has to be the most disturbing aspect of AI!
The acting by Osment is heartbreaking, he was certainly one of the best child actors of his time. Jude Law plays one of his best characters in one of his best performances as a sex robot with a heart......
A disturbing look into the future, with a heartbreaking ending.
10/10
