*...use one that doesn't prove against you. You say Spielberg isn't the main point behind AI and Kubrick is yet you post a link that has the main words being "Interviews with Jan Harlan show that this is most definitely a Spielberg film and not a Kubrick film. Harlan explains that Kubrick's version would have been much darker. One example is the character Gigolo Joe. In Spielberg's AI, Joe is a lovable "mecha" or robot. Harlan reveals that Kubrick's Gigolo Joe was much more aggressive and greedy. A much darker character." Um, isn't this going against your argument?
*While a lot of AI was based off of Kubrick's ideas, you can't say that it isn't still a Spielberg film. Who knows what Kubrick would have done once the production got closer and filming really got underway?
