Bicentennial Man


Bicentennial Man was surprisingly a good flick with the legendary actor, Robin Williams playing as the robot Andrew.  Its funny how we’re no where near having household robots in everyone’s homes, but in this movie we were suppose to have them by 2005.  The fact that Andrew started out as a normal household servant robot and then slowly started developing emotions was a cool idea for the audience to think about.  And just with the slow journey for Andrew through out time developing those emotions and wanting to develop human form was so interesting and had me hooked.  Another cool part of the movie was how everyone was aging and technology was advancing and Andrew was seeing this all.  One movie in a 200 year period.  Andrew is a perfect example of AI that’s adaptive to its vastly changing environment and immortal it seemed like.  I still find it pretty terrifying for a creation of our own to be developing emotions like Andrew.
