I have no idea why, it's probably the least darkest films ever made, but has one of the most heartbreakingly sad endings I've ever seen. I just couldn't help but cry.
It's not just sad becouse they die togheter, but he looses his first love.. little miss so basically he sees three generations die before he actually meets porcia
@hectichorse No he won't, and that's the point. His essence (both throughout the film, and particularly at the end of his life) WAS much more than even the BEST version of his body had ever become. His soul was...or became...a TRUE soul because it demanded of the universe that it be allowed to BE. To EXIST.
"I AM!"
In the guise of being declared human here, yes...but, IMO, nonetheless demanding.
Your own views seem more limited (and your expectations diminished).
@powerone1 Really? So point me at even one example of "religion" here, please? Unless your example involves the concept of marriage (which might apply, sure..but then, I'd next ask you to offer some example of denomination (and I'd be surprised if you even attempted that).
Or? Unless this "religious" example would be simply that these characters seem to believe in some sort of "afterlife?" Oh my gosh! Is it possible they even DO?!!!
I would acknowledge that they do seem to do so, true.
@Mulsanne917flatout at 3:56 they mention biblical characters as though they are real historical people. they did not also mention characters from other faith, it shows a bias toward a certain religious system.
@powerone1 Methusalah (from the Bible) is mentioned because he's the most well known "long lived" historical figure. NOT because he's biblical or because any of those religions which revere that book are somehow worthy of bias. Nor because the filmmakers are showing any bias.
If one were speaking, instead about killers, one might speak of the "Assassins," who were an Islamic sect.
So if a movie should show an assassin in action, should I then automatically assume it's "biased" toward Islam?
@Mulsanne917flatout. What evidence can you show here (other than that he was mentioned in the Bible) that Methuselah was a "historical figure"? The Bible is a historical book, but that does not mean that the things that are written in it are historical events that happened or historical people that lived.
Your statements about Assassins and Islam make no logical sense. If a person is an Assassin it does not matter what there religion is, it is about the acts they commit.
@powerone1 I'm not suggesting the story of Methuselah is, in any way, "Historical" because "he" (Methusalah) actually lived.
I'm only suggesting his story is "historical" because the bible itself is a historical document (a document exacting it's influence over many generations and over many years, particularly here in the western hemisphere.)
By this same measure the Koran can be assumed to have exacted its own influence over generations.
The first time I saw this movie, my best friend had taken me to see it about a week after my father died. It was hardly the best movie to watch, given the circumstances and I cried my eyes out in the theatre. This is the very best movie that Robin Williams made(in my opinion).
The last time I replied here my post was deleted, so I reply again expecting the worst (and having no faith in anything better, either).
This clip is spectacular, and it speaks volumes about the human condition.
We all die (whether aided in our passage or not)...alone for the most part. Yes, we might have someone to hold our hand when we leave (as Andrew does in the clip here)...
...or we might simply "head out" alone,
Seems to me none of us can plan...or count...on having company.
everyone seems pretty emotional about this movie. i couldnt be bothered watching it cant someone just tell me why is it so emotional and why is it making everyone cry ?
Whenever we get caught up and wound up about what are really trivial emotional issues as we go through life, watch this clip to get a perspective of what is truly important. The most incredible ending of any movie.
James Horner's score for this movie is absolutely breathtaking and mesmerizing. So beautiful and powerful and makes this beautiful movie even more beautiful.
one thing though is that he was fired up at 2005? LOL it is 2011 and we still don't have the technology for such robots. And even if we do, only japan really has them (although obviously not remotely in the same caliber) and they are thousands possibly millions of dollars. It is not practical that they will be of home use even in the not too distant future.
I dunno why this movie didn't make it big. Most ppl I talk to have never even heard of this movie so I feel like I am one of the few that has seen this. It was a LONG time ago when I first saw this movie, possibly when it first came out so I must have been at least younger than 14 though for sure but this movie has emotionally impacted me ever since. I cried at the end and especially at this scene. Beautiful movie <3.
the only reason why this movie got bad reviews was because critics kept comparing it to the original Isaac Isamov's short story of the same name. If that story had never existed, this movie would have probably go on and win some oscars. What a shame.
@1379gerardo You might be right--I can't opine too closely, because I have been unable to find the original short story. I HAVE, however, found and read the longer novel "The Positronic Man the movie is based upon.
If the reviewers based their conclusions only on the differences between that novel and the final film--then they whiffed.
Yes, they are different, and yes, the novel contains only very little of the final films love story, but the two complement one another VERY well in my view.
I remember watching this movie about two or three years ago with my sister. I started from about 1/4 of the way through and I remember in the last ten minutes of the movie and throughout the entire credits, I bawled like a baby. It was the first and only movie to actually paralyze me with sadness, because I'm disabled and I could relate to how he felt being treated differently. I cried the rest of that day and even just watching these last minutes still brings me to tears.
@RazorCardz01 I have this to look forward to still. I've resisted mentioning this film specifically so I CAN watch it with my own sister sometime down the road (she's my best friend, so it'll be special when we get around to it).
Not being disabled myself I cannot really appreciate the rest of your experience firsthand...but I can certainly understand it theory (for whatever that might be worth).
FWIW, and despite our differences in that regard, it brings me to tears too, almost every time.
@RazorCardz01 Pretty much the same way it went when I watched it with my own sister (my very best friend in this world). I bawled like a baby too. Happens every time I watch this film, really.
This is a film about the human experience. All of it.
Laugh out loud and then cry like a baby too while watching it.
@RazorCardz01 Well then worry not my friend. You are a part of us and being so you are connected to us all. I also feel your pain but for a different reason. Bless you and be of warm heart my friend.
Outstanding, broad and timeless, this is one of those films I think about from time to time, just saw it again today - even better now I grown a few more years :)
I remember the marketing for this film and thinking it was a fun fun movie....and left the theatre very confused and disappointed. It's now when im older im able to appreciate it
A really important point about that last scene, wich is generaly unoticed, is that Galatea, who is a robot, is unpluging Porcia. As a robot she has to follow the 3 rules of robotic, and she can't harm any human in any way. It means that she toke the declaration for the humanity of Andrew for her too, and she doesn't have to follow the robotic rules now that she is "human".
@MannyLectro It should also be noted that Andrew made a choice that eventually degraded his system to the point of total failure, which was the entire goal of his choice. If I remember correctly, this violates the third law.
@000500006 - I'm totally with you on both films and types. This film was funny AND emotional. This last scene (along with the part where Andrew replays the wedding for his boss) made me cry for a good couple of minutes..........:-(
I have to assume you and your brother don't share your feelings all that easily.
Most won't.
I'm lucky in this way myself: My little sister is also my very best friend in this world, and she lives not far away...so I can always have someone nearby to share joys like this with.
I think "contending the right" was not an option...because he cannot query it in THIS (still earthly future venue)...of eternal time. Because even the "World Congress" in this film cannot circumvent time--they are still only human beings.
I have to believe you are imagining him--wishing to see him (?)--ask these same questions "of the cosmos"...and not of mere human beings.
I'd be interested, too, in seeing that. But maybe we all only get one chance...when we greet our maker.
uh, I'm 25 years old living in Brooklyn, NY. The roughest parts and I have to say, Robin Williams choked me up and I wanted to tell that to youtube =)
this ending change my whole world and always be in my mind that I or my family will have the time to pass away. favorite sentence in this movie "one is glad to be of service." and T_T nope not crying... even though I wanted to.
I remember seeing this movie and thinking "It's the Chief from Carmen Santiago!!" Sadly, she's no longer with us, which makes this ending all the more poignant.
This is a film of which it can be said: "It helps to have read the book." For those few who did, I'll point up that oft-repeated theme/point from the book: Andrew Martin has contributed more than has any any other being to the benefit of humanity. In the book, this point is clearly made, and more than once.
In the film, Andrews contributions are more easily ignored. And yet, despite that, his VALUE, as a being is generally not, in any way, diminished. Simply astounding to me.
One of the very subtle moments in this film (and you have to have seen the rest of it, or read to book, to understand why it would matter): Portia asks the nurse "Would you mind unplugging me?" And the nurse blinks a couple of times and her brow knits together ever so slightly (excellent acting)...as an indicator of the struggle she's suddenly facing.
So Portia rephrases it, to ease Galitea's pain: "That's an order."
That quaver in her voice during Galitea's last line is almost grateful.
Like most, I'm the sort who often comes away from a film (adapted from a book) feeling the book was great, and the film failed to do it justice. Not true in this case, and it ISN'T because the book ("The Positronic Man") was a disappointment--in fact, I thought it was excellent.
The book did NOT address one major part of being human, however (love and sexual love)...which the screenwriters DID choose to take on in their film, so the endings are necessarily different. But both are excellent.
i feel shame to admit that every time i see this movie (lot of times!!!) i cry like a baby,,, thank god noone has seen me lol ps little miss(embeth davidtz) is the one i want to be my woman no matter who old she is :)
Why would they mention biblical figures? They didn't exist. Would they mention Q? He's what? 4 billion years old? I'm finding it rather unrealistic that anyone in the year 2205 other than history students would know about "the bible" and "methuzelah"
He was not 200 years old either. He first becomes a human when he was given a human brain. So, he's actually 30-40-ish
@Aslapacrosstheface Like so many critics of the bible (and of most other religions too, I suspect), you fail to recognize this FACT: IF the bible is a work of fiction, it is still, at minimum, an extremely important construct of the human imagination. And on that basis alone, it is worthy of study, comment, and certainly of remembrance.
The bible, and the figures reported on (or conjured up within it, depending on your point of view) will be remembered long after Star Trek is forgotten.
@Mulsanne917andkink You missed my point, I'm saying it's impossible for a politician 200 years from now to point to a fictional entity and make some sort of "legitimate comparison" - as if such a thing was relevant at all.
Hell, politicians don't do that *today*, not even screwed up American ones.
@Aslapacrosstheface No, I don't think I missed it--I addressed it. Your point was that "biblical figures" like Methuselah are necessarily imaginary figures....and they are therefore of no real consequence. Further, you said you can conjure up no future reality (in your own mind) in which the current "weight" of figures like these will be sufficient to cause them even to be remembered.
And, of course, I disagree.
But I won't dispute that YOUR mind could fail to conjure up such an event.
@Mulsanne917andkink Like so many critics of the Greek mythology, you fail to recognize this FACT: IF the Greek mythology is a work of fiction, it is still, at minimum, an extremely important construct of the human imagination. And on that basis alone, it is worthy of study, comment, and certainly of remembrance.
The Greek mythology, and the figures reported on (or conjured up within it, depending on your point of view) will be remembered long after Firefly is forgotten.
@Aslapacrosstheface oh my god you my friend dont think things through, im gonna leave the religous criticism alone(after all its only 200 years into the future and if you think about the bible has been around for over 2000 years now but anyway) the are acknowledging that his WHOLE life he was human not just when he started to die as he was all the way through in a sense human
the people who critisezed this movie need 2 look at the preview first thats what i did i thaught about not giving it a chance but i did and well this movie isnt half baad i love this movie and i love that robot, thizs movie made me realize how special it is 2 be human even if we do grow old and eventually die

I'm lucky in this way myself: My little sister is also my very best friend in this world, and she lives not far away...so I can always have someone nearby to share joys like this with.
I wish it was true for everyone else too.

@nobody62127 You are certainly welcome, "n".
One might even say "the fantasy of Him" is...well..you know:
It's that "[...] non-action which eternity can't ridicule."
You DID say it well.

I think "contending the right" was not an option...because he cannot query it in THIS (still earthly future venue)...of eternal time. Because even the "World Congress" in this film cannot circumvent time--they are still only human beings.
I have to believe you are imagining him--wishing to see him (?)--ask these same questions "of the cosmos"...and not of mere human beings.
I'd be interested, too, in seeing that. But maybe we all only get one chance...when we greet our maker.

For my part (as one of those people): Hey...nice to hear from you. And there's nothing wrong with choking up now and then.
Just don't let those other "Brooklynites" see you do it...unless you trust 'em. :)

You know. I hope that when Robin Williams eventually dies they put this excerpt into his tribute at the academy awards. It fits well enough.

I remember seeing this movie and thinking "It's the Chief from Carmen Santiago!!" Sadly, she's no longer with us, which makes this ending all the more poignant.
Sad, yet beautiful ending.

This is a film of which it can be said: "It helps to have read the book." For those few who did, I'll point up that oft-repeated theme/point from the book: Andrew Martin has contributed more than has any any other being to the benefit of humanity. In the book, this point is clearly made, and more than once.
In the film, Andrews contributions are more easily ignored. And yet, despite that, his VALUE, as a being is generally not, in any way, diminished. Simply astounding to me.
Mulsanne917andkink 1 year ago
One of the very subtle moments in this film (and you have to have seen the rest of it, or read to book, to understand why it would matter): Portia asks the nurse "Would you mind unplugging me?" And the nurse blinks a couple of times and her brow knits together ever so slightly (excellent acting)...as an indicator of the struggle she's suddenly facing.
So Portia rephrases it, to ease Galitea's pain: "That's an order."
That quaver in her voice during Galitea's last line is almost grateful.

Like most, I'm the sort who often comes away from a film (adapted from a book) feeling the book was great, and the film failed to do it justice. Not true in this case, and it ISN'T because the book ("The Positronic Man") was a disappointment--in fact, I thought it was excellent.
The book did NOT address one major part of being human, however (love and sexual love)...which the screenwriters DID choose to take on in their film, so the endings are necessarily different. But both are excellent.

Why would they mention biblical figures? They didn't exist. Would they mention Q? He's what? 4 billion years old? I'm finding it rather unrealistic that anyone in the year 2205 other than history students would know about "the bible" and "methuzelah"
He was not 200 years old either. He first becomes a human when he was given a human brain. So, he's actually 30-40-ish

@Aslapacrosstheface Like so many critics of the bible (and of most other religions too, I suspect), you fail to recognize this FACT: IF the bible is a work of fiction, it is still, at minimum, an extremely important construct of the human imagination. And on that basis alone, it is worthy of study, comment, and certainly of remembrance.
The bible, and the figures reported on (or conjured up within it, depending on your point of view) will be remembered long after Star Trek is forgotten.
Mulsanne917andkink 1 year ago
@Mulsanne917andkink You missed my point, I'm saying it's impossible for a politician 200 years from now to point to a fictional entity and make some sort of "legitimate comparison" - as if such a thing was relevant at all.
Hell, politicians don't do that *today*, not even screwed up American ones.

@Aslapacrosstheface No, I don't think I missed it--I addressed it. Your point was that "biblical figures" like Methuselah are necessarily imaginary figures....and they are therefore of no real consequence. Further, you said you can conjure up no future reality (in your own mind) in which the current "weight" of figures like these will be sufficient to cause them even to be remembered.
And, of course, I disagree.
But I won't dispute that YOUR mind could fail to conjure up such an event.
Mulsanne917andkink 1 year ago
@Mulsanne917andkink Yes, you missed it, twice now. Oh, and just because something is impossible, doesn't mean you can't imagine it.

@Aslapacrosstheface oh my god you my friend dont think things through, im gonna leave the religous criticism alone(after all its only 200 years into the future and if you think about the bible has been around for over 2000 years now but anyway) the are acknowledging that his WHOLE life he was human not just when he started to die as he was all the way through in a sense human
