It's already bittersweet underwater tho. Doubling down in a way it doesn't need to, to reinforce a point it already made

 

Myeah, it's basically like a 20-minute end-credit scene. Or a separate short. Or a fan-film inspired by.

Not really. David does reach his end goal, but the idea of it ending with him stuck wishing towards the Blue Fairy is just depressing, and would leave me on a sour and unhappy note. The actual ending has bits of a depressive angle, but it still ends on an emotional high note with just the right amount of warm fuzzies and heart tied in with a dash of cynicism, considering David finally achieves his main arc and goal, and acceptance of both himself and his mother, leading to something that's more meaningful and heartfelt. Sorry dude, you're wrong.

Steven Spielberg the producer with Amblin, is also an interesting conversation, without the Berg,  no 5 Bayformers movies.

Hail The Berg !

He went after Bay to destroy earth with giant robots.

Genius.

Also, Zemeckis, his mot brilliant pupil/padawan.

etc

His relationship with ILM tells you also the history of visual effects : War Horse & Tintin were his first non-ILM movies which informed you the VFX industry had changed forever = more players able to do ILM level quality work.

Transformers and the JW sequels indicate he has little to no quality control or care as a Producer for those franchises - he's in it for $$$$

At least Coolio didn't send the Jake Gyllenhaal letter to people to gain sympathy votes.

It's Spielberg warming up a Kubrick ending.

i think any much less interesting director ends it where boring fanboys want it to end. honestly the actual ending is even more depressing to me.

AI is tremendous right up until the wack ending. So ends up just below top tier Berg for me

AI isn't bad but ultimately doesn't work for me. Even before the terrible ending I had issues.

Need more people to chime in and tell me what I should think. 

 

Don't listen to them aabattery, the ending is what seals the deal on this movie being his best one. It's incredible.

In France, saying things like these can send you to jail or at least a trial and a big fine.

And no, I am not kidding.

Hoping BOT servers aren't in frogland.

Spielberg has 2 movies in my top 5 all time, and my number 1.  He has permission to do whatever he wants

Super hot take: I don't think I've seen A.I. in ... 15 years? More?

[WrathOfHan]

If we exclude the actual final scene of Schindler's List, the final scene of SL is the 'Berg's best. Otherwise I'd go with Close Encounters

I doubt many director would have cut Kubrick ending from A.I.

 

Can you imagine the guts it would have needed to fundamentally change Kubrick last posthumous movie to that point, to remove the very concept of circularity like that from it.

 

Maybe a Jodorowsky's type of director would have, but I imagine for the vast majority it stay there if they have the money for it.

The idea that he's hopeful he'll see his mother again til the end is less depressing than him actually being allowed only a moment with her. Not sure how you got warm fuzzies out of that ending, it's even darker - he spent forever wishing only to be allowed a glimpse. But it's also much more removed from the actual movie that led up to it

 

Anyway we could argue this all day, just gonna agree to disagree
