Memorable, crazy movie
Excellent and certainly provocative... If nothing else, the film is a real conversation starter.
The film may be flawed, but its message is not.
The acting is good, and the firecracker script has some excellent ideas.
This beautiful movie always makes me cry at the end Love it one of my favorite movies I could see it so many times and not get tired of watching May this beautiful soul rest in Paradise xoxo
This is a film that didn't get as much attention or credit as it was due when first released. Bicentennial Man is an extraordinary story about one robot's journey into humanity and the struggles he endures.With a story by Isaac Asimov, and superb acting by Robin Williams, this film will entertain and delight you. It's not an average Asimov story, as it is lighthearted and dramatic, instead of action-packed, like I, Robot.I enjoyed Sam Neill as Sir, the family patriarch and friend to Andrew. The special effects in the film were amazing too, however passed over by the Oscars. It was nominated for best makeup, but it didn't win, unfortunately.A great film for the whole family, although for the younger audience, explaining may be in order.
the emotions are pillars of this lovely modern fairy tale. because it is only version of the old myth of Pygmalion. because it could be an useful reflection of the struggle of different minorities for be accepted. because it represents a nice meeting between Isaac Asimov text and the art of Robin Williams. it is strange to define it more than trip in future and to remember old lectures. it preserves the flavor of childhood. its dreams, stories, desires and projects. its bitter steps to the self definition. its sweet romanticism. its silhouettes from a time of precise rules and noble feelings and the chosen. humor, delicacy, few splendid scenes, version of Pinocchio and, maybe, for a part of its public, homage to Collodi.in more measure than adaptation of Asimov. a nice film. and embroidery of emotions. .
Bicentennial Man (1999): Dir: Chris Columbus / Cast: Robin Williams, Sam Neill, Oliver Platt, Embeth Davidtz, Wendy Crewson: Filled with images of hopelessness that one could easily experience in rush hour traffic. It is about a robot who wishes to become human. It is 2005 and the robot becomes the newest household appliance. Sam Neill has a robot delivered to his home and he discovers that it has many human aspects. Depression sets in when the robot lives on while everyone else dies. The film never has fun with his journey. Director Chris Columbus approaches the material from different angles. He previously made Mrs. Doubtfire and Stepmom, also about supplementary role models. What is truly disappointing is that the film fails to have fun with its charming premise. Robin Williams is basically playing a robot version of himself. His whole journey is basically a bunch of subplots of little interest. Sam Neill is wasted in what amounts to a growing-old-and-die role. Platt's character is a buffoon who should go back to playing with lego.then there is a useless appearance by Embeth Davidtz that amounts to absolutely nothing. It raises questions about life and relationships but hardly uplifting when presenting these themes. Visual elements are great and are the film's best element but how can a robot find life if the story he is in is totally dead? Score: 5 / 10
