: I ask this as well. To what end did Jude Law serve? What connection could there POSSIBLY be between the 2 characters?

It opened with one techie fellow misunderstanding "love" for "sex" in a discussion on robot love... AND when David walks in on his half-naked mother she's reading "Freud on Women"... we're dealing with a movie that's playing with the different kinds of love, that toys with Oedipus no less.

Carnal Love Vs. Familial Love. Joe and David.

: What was the meaning of the FLESH FAIR? Seems a bit too primitive for a society intelligent enough to have the MECHAs in the first place.

We live in a society that's built a bomb that can level a city... and we've used it.

Next question.

: Are we supposed to believe an android has no self preservation skills as well?? To ignore Asimov's Rules of Robotics is inexcuseable.

Did Asimov write the movie?

The source story for the movie?

Did Asimov invent the concept of the robot?

Man, all these basement dwellers with their "Asimov's Law"... like it's the fucking Bible... it's one writer's take on the concept, that's all.

I prefer Phil Dick's total-lack-of robot law, anyway.

: I felt (and saw) nothing real in David's relationship to his "mother" and as a result felt nothing when she left him in the woods.

Well, you're a heartless overly-cynical fuck, then. Kudos to you, Gen-Xer.

: When DAVID goes apeshit and smashes the "other" David........you ask why?

Well, his entire world has been based on his sense of being unique. That absent, he's shattered and lashes out. Pretty simple, actually.

: Where did THIS emotion come from?

Covered above.

Man, I'd go a little nuts if I saw my exact fucking doppleganger... unless I saw a dog with a puffy tail soon afterward.

: If he had the capeability all along why not direct it @ Martin??

Because he knew how much hurting him would hurt his mother. Who he loved unconditionally.

Mike
