Spielberg's A.I. and What Makes Us Human (Video Essay)

I wanted to revisit Spielberg's film, A.I. Artificial Intelligence, and see what it has to say about the world around us right now.

I couldn't understand why I always cry at the end of the film, when I completely understand the conceit being that David is a mecha. He can't love. So why was I weeping?

Turns out, David is like any new piece of technology -- he's a utility. We mine meaning from his experience because we have the lived experience to do so.

I really enjoyed diving into this film, and if anyone's interested in a companion piece to the film, check it out!

Looking to rewatch all Spielberg movies this summer with my wife and catch some of his early movies we haven't watched yet. What are some good double features and why would you pair them together?

Ranking the best side/supporting characters in a Steven Spielberg directed film

I think the best side characters are the ones that help define the hero or help them learn something. Or at the very least represent or teach a theme of some kind.

Steven Spielberg is really good at casting and using secondary characters.

Out of this list I made, my top 5 are:

\*Matt Hooper (Jaws)

\*Itzhak Stern (Schindler's List)

\*Mike Hovarth (Saving Private Ryan)

\*Teddy (A.I.)
