Review of Bicentennial Man (1999) by Andrew K — 23 Mar 2012
As beautiful as it is unknown and under appreciated. It is a film about the future and about robots, yes. However, it's primary topics are humanity and potential. When will we stop pushing back against the tide of evolution and individual potential in all forms, simply because it doesn't fit into the societal constructs we create and thereby makes us uncomfortable.
What this film truly spans is the amount of time it takes for a new concept, like the equality of a previously unequal class, to be accepted and embraced. This can be drawn as a parallel to so many other efforts for the same goal.
Again, a beautiful film and the best adaptation of and Asimov story to date.
