I haven't seen it yet -- but a friend told me the plot... seems so poetic and original. I have to wonder how it could be such a bad movie.
With the exception of the lock of hair -- that seems a little too ironic and convenient for me that the boy would have kept the hair or even had cut hair in the first place... but the irony of the hair -- it being a reminder of not only his love for his mother, but as a painful symbol of his fall from grace in her eyes -- and his brother's betrayal... and then to use it again for a resurection -- the hair becoming a gift...that he deserves in the eyes of the audience. that could really jerk some tears if done properly...
it's almost as if in the end -- his being alive -- has given him his spiritual right to be owed by the universe his reward for having true loving intent in his actions. many of us would like to think that we will be rewarded for our actions -- especially in the afterlife... but what is "after" for a robot?
some of the scenes sound cool -- the robots looking for their spare parts... we project onto them a humble martyrdom... the sad reality of discarded souls -- reminds me of the Mexican families here in Venice that come out late at night, sifting through dumpsters together searching for disgarded plastic bottles and cans...
ehehe but I never even saw the movie... i still think the plot sounds cool though.
