A.I. Artificial Intelligence (2001)
The best of all Spielberg's films
I think this is the best film made by Spielberg. It has everything that a good movie should have: an interesting plot, excellent acting (especially Haley Joel Osment) and beautiful music (thanks to J. Williams). I strongly recommend this film - even if you wouldn't like it, it will still make you think. The film is not really (or at least not only) a sad tale about a robot child but it presents a very pessimistic picture about the mankind in general and primarily about our lack of responsibility.
**** possible spoilers **** I don't know how Kubrick would make this film, but Spielberg did one great thing: he chose Haley to play a robot. Haley is so convincing and moving that you do believe he is a robot. At one point of the story I believed that the Blue Fairy would indeed make him real.
I agree that the film has some weak and illogical points (e.g. David under water - no one was looking for the stolen amphibicopter ?), but altogether the film is great and WELL WORTH WATCHING !! I must admit that every time I watch it, I cry.
Edges of the Lord (2001)
The film is 10/10 !!
I consider this film to be the best one with Haley J. Osment. I must admit that first I watched it only because HJO was starring in it (and because the film was shot in my country, ie Poland). Not only does Haley play wonderfully, but also the film itself is very good, mixing the times of WWII with the fragile construction of children's psyche. The film was made in Poland, so it was very nice to see Haley playing in Polish landscapes. I must say I am very surprised that the film was not yet released in the US. In Poland it was shown in cinemas in 2001. In January 2003 the film was released on DVD. A few weeks ago (November 2003) the movie was on TV so it had really wide audience. I don't understand why such a good movie was not released in the US !! If you want, you can write to me: (make sure it's o2, and not 02).
