Artificial Intelligence: AI (2001) directed by Steven Spielberg ✭✭✭✭
I recently saw the film AI As expected of a sci-fi flick, there were alot of impressive special effects and technical wizardry. What was totally unexpected as I came away from it was that this film was actually a metaphor for the search for self-realisation and its finalfulfillment in meeting the Mother.
In the film, directed by Steven Spielberg David, the mechanical boy was desperately searching for the Blue Fairy who he believed would turn him into a ‘real’ boy so that he would be accepted by his adoptive mother. After going through many trials and tribulations, he finally finds the Blue Fairy, if only in the form of an effigy. David nevertheless prays fervently at the feet of this statue and as the world freezes over he is in this position of supplication for 2000 years.
When David is finally revived from the state of deep freeze by some super-beings of the future, he is granted his wish to be with his mother. And in the closing scene, David the ‘mecha’ boy finds his complete satisfaction and peace in the company of his mother.
Highly recommended for yogis.

Actually when I watched the movie I was so touch, i feel pity to those machines that dump after being used and convict by improper execution. What the heck people in that movie they are inhuman, they are much more like machines who has no heart at all. Anyway the entire movie is great from the cast to the special effect. However the ending is not as goos as I expected. The Alien who find David body freeze underwater was undefined and did not explain where they came from. What happen to the other character was unknown. That is the things that disappoint me.
