This movie itself is a genuine masterpiece: Talks about existentialism, the idea of self, what it means to exist, and identity. It shows that being human requires more heart and the ability to love is more than enough to consider your true self. A beautiful story well told, ahead of its time.
I like this movie because it’s different than most robot movies it’s not about a robot rebellion or an uprising it’s about just a robot that learns human emotions and slowly becomes more and more human like
God "possible" created us "Meatbags with Intelligence" Humans created "Robots with KI" there isnt much difference - we evolve from dump beeings to much intelligent - robots started less intelligent and become year to year much better, and actually maybe better than us
@@CalloutWraith Which shouldn't happen. Instead of creating robots to do shit for us. We should be creating things that can make US do all the shit ourselves and become smarter.
@@hacked2813 you see, we are doing our own job by creating robots. Because, robots have no free will yet so they are “tools” is like telling someone using a hammer to make a house that he isn’t doing the house himself but the hammer is making the job for him. So robots until they get actually free will, they are tools that can and will be used by humans. :D pd: if u have any problem understanding let me know, English isn’t my first language.
@@hacked2813 the first fallacy of your comment is 1. that will slow the progression of humanity and technology. Robots are totally ok, they can’t feel emotion, they’re not conscious or anything. AI is the real deal, we shouldn’t let them get their hands on machines and robots. 2. Telling people we shouldn’t create robot to do stuff is like telling people we shouldn’t drive and should just walk on the ground or that we shouldn’t cook food using pots and pans but instead the ground. That logic is so irrational. The third fallacy is that humans are ever so limited to the body. Sure we can enhance ourself biologically through modifications but that require thousands of hours of research. By your logic, we shouldn’t use anything in-organic and that is totally stupid and irrational again. Though I do agree that technology is progressing faster than the human mind can keep up with.. but hey.. we have to do anything to survive and thrive, nature isn’t so kind to everyone as seen through history.
I just realized, Galatea unplugging Portia's life support in the ending violates the first rule of robots. Could be a hint that Galatea is more human than robot at this point, just like Andrew.
I think robots just becoming like emotionally attached to humans rather than starting a rebellion is the most accurate outcome that A.I could have, at least that's what I hope
I disagree, I don’t think robots would be able to develop emotions and even if they do I think they will just be very logical in everything to do and the most logical thing to do for them would be to start a rebellion for a world without humans
Bicentenial Man movie is an Asimov novel adaptation. Nowadays can be considered very old(literally, past Millenium old) and of a time people were at least somewhat more pure in intentions and worldview. They dreamed of a better tommorow(ofc they were also living in a world and a society that while having drawbacks, allowed the futurists to dream a better tommorow - and why not, co-existance for man and machine, on a friendly based level). Ofcourse most of Asimov's work(with few exceptions) is like that, even in the most difficult situations, there is always a window and a glimpse of hope.
Andrew literally pulled off a reverse human Humans: are human, but replace their bodies with robotics Andrew: is robot, but replaces his body with humanity
That’s a really good point but I think technically that would be a reverse cyborg. A cyborg is a human that replaces or upgrades some it’s body with robotic parts.
The same concept is used in the Battlestar Galactica reboot, where the Cylons make themselves human with the final goal of not being dependent on production facilities to reproduce.
Small skipped detail: Rupert's company grew huge thanks to Andrew's designs for artificial organs, which he made in his quest to become more human. In fact, this is the very same technology Andrew was talking about to Portia just before.
"ahh yes, with my pity dollars, i will purchase a lot of land a few meters from the beach"...... how just how.... literally no one lives there, thats multimillion dollar property even if it was forsale, which logistically speaking, a house wouldnt even be that close to the beach anyways, it would be further back
Hand carved clocks like shown in the movie usually cost from $1000 to $10000 dollars each. As the owner guy was already in the high end clock business it was most likely sold at a premium. Think how much a Rolex cost and why. Edit: then take any excess income and invest and plus a few decades time and you get quite a bit of money.
Because like many others here, we believe that machines will develop human emotions and learn of the human existence. The Centennial man and Barnes saved untold millions of people with synthetic organs they designed and built. It doesn't matter, man or machine, both can coexist in peace. I think more Futurama would be what we would want. Machines and humans working and even living together as allies, friends, and perhaps even lovers.
Same. He was such an incredible man, I'm tearing up, I grew up seeing his face and hearing his voice on screen. Many of my beloved movies had Robin in them... damn I miss him.
This movie Made me bawl my eyes out, especially the fact that the father turns out to adopt him as his own and wishes him to be on his death bed with him
Well to be fair, this technology that allows people to live practically forever is actually the artificial organs that Andrew himself designed in his quest to become more human. This recap kind of skips over that detail.
the opinion of the judge was that because he had a positronic brain, he was still a machine. so either the brain wasnt replicabable then for humans, or the legal limbo posed by Andrew was too much for the ruling body to act on.
I remember shedding a tear or two at the ending when Andrew was declared a human and then closed his eyes. Well played. RIP Robin Williams. You're the greatest!
Yeah the book that those laws come from is very clear on the fact that robots should never harm a human, even if ordered to by a human. It also says a robot should never allow harm to come to a human so turning life support off should be completely out the window. I know I'd rather a human make fhe final decision.
In science fiction and Hollywood movies the year 2000 is the threshold of the future. Anything beyond that is the future, even though a lot of these shit in movies would take hundreds of years to accomplish.
How can they meet in the afterlife when Andrew was made by a human being while the granddaughter was created by God? I thought object made by humans can't be in the afterlife
This was sad and somehow happy at the same time. I was just a bit confused about how far they go in the timeline. When the father died in the beginning I thought that the movie was about to end 😅
@@damararemeis488 In the book Andrew is the only sentient robot and undergoes upgrades to be accepted in human society. In the movie it is hinted that Andrew is one of many robots that are mass produced and are common in society. Through his upgrades he becomes more human and peruses a relationship with a human. His upgrade help humans live long while making robots more human.
An emotional robot. Gotta admit, never had a friend like him. I'm glad this movie was here to let us ruminate whilst they illuminated the possibilities of this premise...
@@surgeonsergio6839 1. No they don't. The three laws of robotics aren't an inherent behavior of robots, they must be coded in by the makers. Not all robots have A.I. and not all robots have the ability to learn since, ignoring the fact that it's unethical to give something that's sole purpose is to do something like vacuum floors the ability to have its own feelings, it also hasn't even been fully achieved and wouldn't make sense to put what would be the pinnacle of human creation into a god damn roomba. 2. Those 3 rules are from Asimov's stories which were written in the 40s, long before we could even do anything beyond hand made algorithm based simulations on a computer that needed a whole room to store its parts.
So this robot became best friends with his master’s daughter, and then ended up marrying and have intercourse with his best friend’s great grand daughter?
This reminds me of Markus' relationship to Carl in Detroit: Become Human. This also reminds me of Connor's feelings over time, and the fact that Andrew adopts a dog.
I loved this movie as a child, and over the years is grown on me more and more. It's just more heart-breaking now knowing the pain Robin went through in real life. RIP
Well, i mean, she grew up in a time were Mortality was considered the norm. Just how people of older generations now often see our Current Technologie as something Strange and Weird, she decided to stay whit the norms she grew up whit. Such a drastic trend would probably take a Genration or two to full intergrate itself into our Civilization, and even then, there are some reasons why immortality might not be all that nice.
@@audiobookgaming I understand that. But my Christian upbringing showed me that there lies at least some hope in death. And seeing that it is a inevitable thing for now, I sorta accepted it as something that I will have to face, and at least the hope that there might be something out there, taking care of me after it helps whit that. And even if not, I wouldn't be able to worry about it when I'm gone anyways.
@@Leo-mh3cg I'm stuck with weak-agnosticism so I'm stuck with the ultimate uncertainly. I wish I understood and believed another religion -- but I'm dumb MDR/ROFL/LOL.
This is deep on so many levels. What makes a human, what if humans want to be humans, what is teh defining factor between humans and robots, this can even go into religion saying that if a sentient robot with feelings and seems to be mostly human believes in God, will they be saved. Its crazy to think about.
consciousness and self awareness are the halmarks of a sentient being,but that is something you cant really prove to someone else but to yourself,i also dont think that by being a robot you cant have those,for all we know other lifeforms in the universe havent come to exists from carbon but maybe silicon-like buildingblocks,i mean just look at our own oceans,some underwater life can survive forever if they arent killed,and can regenerate torn off body parts
I remember watching this movie a lot when I was a child, it's one of the movies that made ignited my interest in science fiction and its really cool revisiting it now as an adult with a better understanding of the topics it taps into and what it means to be human
I consider this role with Robin Williams as one of his finest works. It may not be Academy Award winner, but it definitely showcased his many talents. I get choked up when I watch this movie role, as his dramatic flair combined with his comedic talent made him such a versatile actor. His talent was truly undeniable as he's made enough movies, where I couldn't imagine anyone else stepping in and doing the job that he did. Aladdin isn't the same without Robin as the genii, talented as Will Smith is, its not the same.
This movie is too freakin sad. I'm crying just listening to this. The whole movie will make me make oceans with tears. Just like The Green Mile or 8 Below.
I felt that the hearing regarding Andrew's marriage was a last minute throw in, in order to create some additional drama. Andrew choosing mortality is a choice he would have made regardless of what the World Congress ruled.
I know a woman that says she "loves her Jackrabbit toy more than any man she has ever met" ! I'm not sure how the toy feels but it's getting a lot of action.
Literally my favorite movie! My P4p shows this, I never changed it ever since the year of his passing! The lessons of Andrew wanting to become mortal hits hard for a guy who wants to become immortal.
Movies and shows should really just stop putting concrete dates in them. Like a decade ago it was funny like how The Jetsons was set in the far-off year of 2002, when movies and shows do it now it's just depressing, potentially terrifying and unnerving, and possibly increasing becoming unrealistic or worse as becoming very realistic but not for good reasons.
What I find so intriguing is that I got the feeling that Andrew's road to humanity started the moment Richard Martin ordered his daughters to treat him like one. Imagine that, when you take of the lable of how others will see and approach you, one can decide their own fate. And this goes beyond the no longer necessity of being flesh and bones.
"If nothing mattered, you'd love me and not some man whose chin could sink the Titanic." The line that I always remember Also, Robin Williams was the best, he could make a joke funny while talking like a robot xD
If you become immortal, you cease being a human being. Constantly being reminded of one’s mortality with each passing year, seeing one’s ever changing anatomy, makes us more appreciative of what we do have. That is what gives us our humanity. That is why witnessing a natural death from old age can be both sad and uplifting. I know someone who died recently from old age. His last words to me were “I”m happy.” While many were sad and cried at his funeral, I was happy.
This movie and A.I artificial intelligence are the reason i love scifi as an adult now. Both beautifully told, sad, realistic and doesn't rely on effects, shock, or any cheap medium, it just tells a story, wich is rare. Except for the movies; her, district 9 and zima blue, most movies are forgotten after 2 weeks.
Sad truth is when she told him she would see him soon she doesn’t realize if he’s a robot made by man then he doesn’t have a soul. Soooooooo no she will never see him again. Dark, sad, but true.
He is a robot tho, if we're speaking with a combination of religious and assuming the technological advances set in the movie perhaps there are cyborgs. Andrew had blood put into him and was also seen eating so maybe he can slowly be turned fully into a human slowly, the only problem being that his brain would be difficult to transfer from a robot brain to a organic brain. Let's just assume they have the technology to do that. If he had all his organs and skin and all that fun stuff turned organic since he wasn't born a human would he have a soul?
@@GhostinTube This movie is an addaptation of the short story by the same name though. It's from I, Robot from Asimov. Plenty of great source material.
I think robots are the children of humanity, they will far exceed us in every way and I hope we can accept, love and guide them as a parent would a child.
I really like the movie. It's not just being a robot but experiencing human emotions and think like a human and goes through a lot and dies like a human with his wife
What the heck are you talking about? Robin Williams committed suicide by hanging himself, as the result of severe depression. Please don't joke about such things.
This was such a beautiful movie. It's something I never watched growing up for some reason and decided to watch it only a few months ago. I was absolutely blown away, such an emotional ride and an amazing story, if you didnt cry you have no soul. This is a movie I will never forget and I think everyone should see. Ity covers everything from what it means to be a person, to love someone, family, sacrifice, everything.
Immortality and eternal youth are not the same. Both combined may sound enticing but our sense of self demands some kind of evolution over a lifetime. That is also portrayed in some incarnations of the modern vampire mythos. A mortal soul in an immortal body is doomed to succumb to madness. Wouldn't you be jealous of immortals if they existed?
I would argue with your assessment that he asks Rupert to help create the synthetic organs to become more human. He makes them more than that in order for humans to become more like him. With organs that do not fail with age. So he no longer has to experience the ones he is emotionally close to "leaving" of old age. He now sees that his immortality is a curse more than a blessing. He tries to make humans as close to immortal as he can.
That is an interesting take on the story. Andrew changed the social norm in order for people to live longer like him. His wife was born to the old ways a wished to die after a normal life span not realizing she could live centuries longer becoming the new norm.

That doesn't count, it doesn't cause harm, it causes a release. You can harm people when disconnected from life support.

This reminds me of Markus' relationship to Carl in Detroit: Become Human. This also reminds me of Connor's feelings over time, and the fact that Andrew adopts a dog.
And don’t forget Mansky - Kamski…
Don't forget Connor relationship with Hank
Titanic: Women cried
DDLC Monika delete: Men cried.
Terminator 2: Kratos cried.
Detroit become Human: Everyone cried for Hank, Connor ,even Markus.
Edit: When Metroplex gave his life for Optimus and his people:
The gods themselves cried.
I loved this movie as a child, and over the years is grown on me more and more. It's just more heart-breaking now knowing the pain Robin went through in real life. RIP
That story shedded a tear...:(
Reasonable Human - "You know the tech to practically live forever exists"
Moral Plot Teaching Character - "Nah I don't feel like it -- that's weird"
Well, i mean, she grew up in a time were Mortality was considered the norm.
Just how people of older generations now often see our Current Technologie as something Strange and Weird, she decided to stay whit the norms she grew up whit.
Such a drastic trend would probably take a Genration or two to full intergrate itself into our Civilization, and even then, there are some reasons why immortality might not be all that nice.
@@Leo-mh3cg I'm rather tendentious -- I'm really (somewhat) scared of death. I'm one of those weak-agnostic dudes.
@@audiobookgaming I understand that.
But my Christian upbringing showed me that there lies at least some hope in death. And seeing that it is a inevitable thing for now, I sorta accepted it as something that I will have to face, and at least the hope that there might be something out there, taking care of me after it helps whit that. And even if not, I wouldn't be able to worry about it when I'm gone anyways.
@Purple Emerald Well you're on another than I. I'm still scared lol.
@@Leo-mh3cg I'm stuck with weak-agnosticism so I'm stuck with the ultimate uncertainly. I wish I understood and believed another religion -- but I'm dumb MDR/ROFL/LOL.
This is deep on so many levels. What makes a human, what if humans want to be humans, what is teh defining factor between humans and robots, this can even go into religion saying that if a sentient robot with feelings and seems to be mostly human believes in God, will they be saved. Its crazy to think about.
consciousness and self awareness are the halmarks of a sentient being,but that is something you cant really prove to someone else but to yourself,i also dont think that by being a robot you cant have those,for all we know other lifeforms in the universe havent come to exists from carbon but maybe silicon-like buildingblocks,i mean just look at our own oceans,some underwater life can survive forever if they arent killed,and can regenerate torn off body parts
14:36 My tears fell while watching this scene. I feel so happy for them and felt so sad at the same time.
12:54 Human beings are meant to exist for a time and then passed on, that melts my heart
I feel like it's fitting that this video was narrated by a text to speech bot.
Poetic in its own sense
@Tagar yes, that’s what he said
@Tagar Jokes aside, It's not though just to be clear, the monotonous voice is on purpose
@@joannot6706 what? It is a text to speech bot lol
Easily one of my favorite channels! Good stuff, and another good movie choice. Bicentennial-man was a real emotional coaster.
I remember watching this movie a lot when I was a child, it's one of the movies that made ignited my interest in science fiction and its really cool revisiting it now as an adult with a better understanding of the topics it taps into and what it means to be human
I consider this role with Robin Williams as one of his finest works. It may not be Academy Award winner, but it definitely showcased his many talents. I get choked up when I watch this movie role, as his dramatic flair combined with his comedic talent made him such a versatile actor. His talent was truly undeniable as he's made enough movies, where I couldn't imagine anyone else stepping in and doing the job that he did. Aladdin isn't the same without Robin as the genii, talented as Will Smith is, its not the same.
This movie is too freakin sad. I'm crying just listening to this. The whole movie will make me make oceans with tears. Just like The Green Mile or 8 Below.
I felt that the hearing regarding Andrew's marriage was a last minute throw in, in order to create some additional drama. Andrew choosing mortality is a choice he would have made regardless of what the World Congress ruled.
This probably wont be the outcome for us if we can make robots like that
you mean Robots with human emotion will act like Terminators?
@jok3r the robots we have already be acting real suspicious and be saying they will kill us or keep us in human zoos so probably
@@cheypie2373 I dont know what robots you look at but the ones I see are racist which makes it funny
@@who8520 the fact that I know which robots you two are talking about is amusing to me
@@alixir3010 link?
Dam I never knew I would get sad over the ending of any RUclips video ever.
This one was cute, I wonder if he some how manifested a soul and went to heaven and god was like "Hol up bitch I don't remember making you??"
It wouldve been funny af if that actually happened in the movie like post-credits
I know a woman that says she "loves her Jackrabbit toy more than any man she has ever met" ! I'm not sure how the toy feels but it's getting a lot of action.
Literally my favorite movie! My P4p shows this, I never changed it ever since the year of his passing! The lessons of Andrew wanting to become mortal hits hard for a guy who wants to become immortal.
Movies and shows should really just stop putting concrete dates in them. Like a decade ago it was funny like how The Jetsons was set in the far-off year of 2002, when movies and shows do it now it's just depressing, potentially terrifying and unnerving, and possibly increasing becoming unrealistic or worse as becoming very realistic but not for good reasons.
You say that as if it's a modern trend. Orwell already did it in 1948, writing about the year 1984.
The jetsons was set in 2062, nice try
Fearing change is actually a sign of lower understanding of the world.
I watched this movie as a kid and I was truly touched
What I find so intriguing is that I got the feeling that Andrew's road to humanity started the moment Richard Martin ordered his daughters to treat him like one.
Imagine that, when you take of the lable of how others will see and approach you, one can decide their own fate. And this goes beyond the no longer necessity of being flesh and bones.
"If nothing mattered, you'd love me and not some man whose chin could sink the Titanic." The line that I always remember
Also, Robin Williams was the best, he could make a joke funny while talking like a robot xD
You just can't hate these summarys of movies it so soothing time Flys
Yea I don’t understand how some people don’t like these things
This movie still makes me cry even as an adult.
People that don’t know that Andrew is a robot:
he’s Immortal
But did no one realise that by unplugging the life support, Galatea broke the first rule?
Individuality though
pretty sure life support falls under some medical exeption,kinda like assisted suicide
i love how he alway says the last sentence that makes you cry or shocked in the most calmed way like it's nothing 😂😂😂
Omg , that ending was so beautiful. ❤️❤️❤️
yes
"Robots can't bring you to tears."
-Robots:
If you become immortal, you cease being a human being. Constantly being reminded of one’s mortality with each passing year, seeing one’s ever changing anatomy, makes us more appreciative of what we do have. That is what gives us our humanity. That is why witnessing a natural death from old age can be both sad and uplifting. I know someone who died recently from old age. His last words to me were “I”m happy.” While many were sad and cried at his funeral, I was happy.
Naw, immortal people do better than brainwashed morons of never generation. They actually know what is reality.
This movie and A.I artificial intelligence are the reason i love scifi as an adult now. Both beautifully told, sad, realistic and doesn't rely on effects, shock, or any cheap medium, it just tells a story, wich is rare. Except for the movies; her, district 9 and zima blue, most movies are forgotten after 2 weeks.
Sad truth is when she told him she would see him soon she doesn’t realize if he’s a robot made by man then he doesn’t have a soul. Soooooooo no she will never see him again. Dark, sad, but true.
with ur twisted view sure
He is a robot tho, if we're speaking with a combination of religious and assuming the technological advances set in the movie perhaps there are cyborgs. Andrew had blood put into him and was also seen eating so maybe he can slowly be turned fully into a human slowly, the only problem being that his brain would be difficult to transfer from a robot brain to a organic brain. Let's just assume they have the technology to do that.
If he had all his organs and skin and all that fun stuff turned organic since he wasn't born a human would he have a soul?
A soul is if you have a consciousness. He was self aware and de facto by the church he has a soul
@@juniorcrusher2245 then with that logic AI have souls
@@Danny.Duns1 AI havent reached that point yet. And the chance of an AI being actually self aware in the future is low. But of it ever does then sure
The iron man from Oz looks different than I remember.
Hi
Tin man.
Hi
I hate Gay people🙂
@@warpstar4282
how long are you gonna do this?
They cant made this kind of movies anymore..
RIP RW
Creativity in films is dead. Nowadays all they make are adaptations and gender reboots
Yea they can its called a reboot. With cgi
@@GhostinTube This movie is an addaptation of the short story by the same name though. It's from I, Robot from Asimov. Plenty of great source material.
Yes trey could. There's plenty of great source material from the same author (Asimov) that wrote this short story originally.
"One is glad to be of service." I remember that I was 10 when I saw this and it made me emotional 😭
This is literally my childhood movie. I'm so happy people are appreciating it more.
This movie is just so beautiful, robin williams played a tremendous role in this and he will forever be missed and remembered as a great actor.
Man, this movie was sooo underrated
Artificial Intelligence would be a great story recap. To add towards the sci fi genre
Humans are humans
Robots can be a rabbit
Robots could be a snake
Robots could be a human
Rabbit bot
There is a certain weird guy on twitch that think he is a female deer, so in the mind of a sick person humans can be anything too lmao
I think robots are the children of humanity, they will far exceed us in every way and I hope we can accept, love and guide them as a parent would a child.
@@fawnieee depends on what we allow them to do
This movie and Artificial Intelligence are the saddest yet heartfelt movies about a robot I ever seen.
4:47 Thats a cute smile!
THIS MOVIE IS BEAUTIFUL AND HAS FILLED ME WITH EMOTIONS
That was a beautiful ending. Such a unique movie.
I really like the movie. It's not just being a robot but experiencing human emotions and think like a human and goes through a lot and dies like a human with his wife
RIP Robin Williams. This was one of his most touching movies for me
robot : has robotic body.
robot : eats food with a robotic body, robot : licks with no tongue.
I can rest knowing Robin Williams got to experience as pleasant an ending such as this once in his life
What the heck are you talking about? Robin Williams committed suicide by hanging himself, as the result of severe depression. Please don't joke about such things.
@@Nyerguds o think they were talking about the movies
@@Nyerguds what do you mean?? They weren’t joking, it was a heartfelt wholesome comment.
"Has a son: Lloyd."
*huge pause*
I laughed so hard lmao
i was a little kid when i was watched this, still loved it, thanks for nostalgia worth every second to watch this, keep it up
I swear watching this as a kid changed my whole world view, when you really think about it Immortality seems like a nightmare
What's even weirder is the fact that their fashion style never changed throughout the years
Yeh
Robin Williams is without a doubt an amazing actor. He will always be missed.
This feels like a prequel to detroit: become human
OMG, YESSS! Finally another person who thought similarly
This was such a beautiful movie. It's something I never watched growing up for some reason and decided to watch it only a few months ago.
I was absolutely blown away, such an emotional ride and an amazing story, if you didnt cry you have no soul.
This is a movie I will never forget and I think everyone should see. Ity covers everything from what it means to be a person, to love someone, family, sacrifice, everything.
That ending always makes me cry.. even in a recap told by a robot...
That was the sweetest love story I've ever witnessed, I'm on the verge of tears
I remember seeing this movie and breaking down at the ending. Just watching this video has me in tears.
The fact that I cried watching a summary of this movie shows how great it is
"nobody wants an immortal human"
"I hate that I age"
😑
Immortality and eternal youth are not the same. Both combined may sound enticing but our sense of self demands some kind of evolution over a lifetime. That is also portrayed in some incarnations of the modern vampire mythos. A mortal soul in an immortal body is doomed to succumb to madness.
Wouldn't you be jealous of immortals if they existed?
I would argue with your assessment that he asks Rupert to help create the synthetic organs to become more human. He makes them more than that in order for humans to become more like him. With organs that do not fail with age. So he no longer has to experience the ones he is emotionally close to "leaving" of old age. He now sees that his immortality is a curse more than a blessing. He tries to make humans as close to immortal as he can.
That is an interesting take on the story. Andrew changed the social norm in order for people to live longer like him. His wife was born to the old ways a wished to die after a normal life span not realizing she could live centuries longer becoming the new norm.
And critics hated this movie? It seems like a really beautiful story about the nature of what it means to be human
i miss Robin Williams. R.I.P to you Legend. this is such a beautiful movie and it made me cry.
Its all about INTENTIONS even if someone wants to help you to share.
Whoever likes this is a legend
Stop asking for clout
Lmao i didn't know this type of comment still exist
I’m already a legend, and so are you guys 😎
Wow so many legends in one comment section. I don’t know if it can hold all of us
No u
The "three laws of robotics" in this movie, are totally and completely the same as from I, robot.
The movie is based on a book by issac asimov, who created the 3 laws
A little bird told me that this is in the same universe, in a book series by an author in the above reply.
@@ArgentoGaming True, I looked up Issac Asimov, and he is indeed the author of I, Robot and other stories involving robots and humans living together.
@@thesounddisciple9213 True, I looked up Issac Asimov, and he is indeed the author of I, Robot and other stories involving robots and humans living together.
One of the most beautiful and heartbreaking movies I've ever seen. R.I.P Robin Williams. And thank you.
