“A.I. Artificial Intelligence,” directed by Steven Spielberg, is a science fiction film set in a future where advanced robots, called Mechas, coexist with humans. The story centers on David, a highly advanced robotic boy created by Cybertronics, programmed to experience human emotions. He is designed to fill the void for parents who have lost a child. David is adopted by Monica and Henry Swinton, whose real son, Martin, is in a coma.

Initially, Monica struggles to accept David, but she eventually activates his emotional programming, and he begins to bond with her deeply. However, when Martin unexpectedly recovers and returns home, tensions arise between the real boy and the robot. After a series of incidents, the Swintons decide to abandon David in the woods to avoid having him destroyed.

David, accompanied by his robotic teddy bear, Teddy, embarks on a quest to become a real boy, inspired by the story of Pinocchio. He believes that if he can find the Blue Fairy, she will make him human, and his mother will love him again. Along the way, David encounters Gigolo Joe, a pleasure robot on the run, who helps him navigate the human world.

Their journey leads them to Dr. Know, an information-providing hologram, who directs them to the submerged ruins of Manhattan. Here, David meets Professor Hobby, his creator, who reveals that David is not unique and that many copies of him exist. Devastated, David attempts to commit suicide but instead is trapped underwater, where he believes he sees the Blue Fairy.

Two thousand years later, advanced robots, who have evolved from Mechas, discover and revive David. They use their advanced technology to recreate Monica from a lock of her hair that Teddy had kept. David spends one perfect day with Monica, fulfilling his deepest wish before she falls asleep, never to wake again. The film ends with David lying beside her, finally at peace.

“A.I. Artificial Intelligence” explores profound themes of love, identity, and the quest for humanity. It delves into the moral implications of creating sentient beings and the enduring human desire for connection and acceptance. Through David’s poignant journey, the film raises questions about what it means to be truly alive and the nature of human emotion.
