A.I. (idea)

A few quick, non-spoiler clarifications for those bothered by this movie:

• Stanley Kubrick always intended for the story to end the way it did. In fact, he wanted it to be central to the film. Steven Spielberg did not add it himself.

• They're not aliens, they're highly evolved robots. That's not entirely clear in the movie, but knowing it makes all the difference.

• David dies as the movie closes. And, of course, it's only possible to die if you're actually human.

Thanks, Slashdot.
