This is a lovely movie -- thoughtful, thought-provoking. It's a quiet meditation of the stages of life -- from birth to death -- and the love we find or hope to find along the way. Using Robots, the movie shows us the basic need for love and surprising, prescient takes on our humanity. Pak presents a delightful view of the future that echoes the best science fiction -- a realistic extension of the present that may be a bit surprising, but also recognizable, and with both good and bad developments. A feeling of hope underneath the pensive melancholy of the film, its abrupt end leaves us with a question and desire to change our own futures, to guard our sense of humanity, and to find love in our all-too-brief lives.
