To think the film Artificial Intelligence....

[TangledUpInGin]

.....is horrendously sad? Or am I just being a soft bugger??

Yanbu, I think it's really sad.

I spent quite a lot of the time in tears- it is an awesome film

With the car? I can't watch it. Don't make me think about it now, I genuinely find it so distressing.

Is this the one with Bradley Cooper when he takes the brain pill?

I though you meant the one with the wee boy Android Perhaps you should clarify the film...

Caravan that's Limitless.

AI has the kid out of Sixth Sense in it.. Haley Joel Osmet or something like that I think.

Yep, it's the one with the little boy robot - it's taken me two days to watch it

I thought it was sad... although I'd adore a teddy bear friend.

Oh god I could never watch it again. Beautiful film. But so bleak.

It makes me cry. But then I cry at Masterchef, the Bear & Hare John Lewis advert, Cool Runnings, Scruff found alive in The Archers etc...

I'm a blubby bundle of soggy hankies.

I find it really sad too, whenever I see it I just want to adopt him and make it all ok. And I'm usually a cold hearted sod who sneers at teary films.

Love this film, think it has echos of fairy stories like Hansel and Gretel, The Wizard of Oz and of course Pinnochio. there are probably more but can't think of them just now.

So so hard to watch but what an amazing film. I find when I try and explain it to someone they think it's just dodgy sci fi pish but even explaining it to people makes me get all emotional and go a bit funny.

Don't want to give away any bits of it to people that may not have watched but it really is an incredible film, just the right amount of cheese for my cynical soul

It's haunting.

I did think all the way through oh god please come and live at my house I will love you forever. My mind made links between the boy and the problems we have with unwanted pets, seeing life as an inconvenience or disposable.

The most disturbing film I have ever seen, would never ever want to see it again !

I agree OP...terribly sad. The teddy bear was the breaking point for me, how he'd somehow allowed the boy time with that special someone (trying not to give plot away). I still get tearful thinking about it.

I'm a hard faced fucker at films, but that poor little soul..... I've had to make myself a chicken sandwich and pour another to cope with the trauma

Now I want a chicken sandwich!

Heartbreaking film.

I've never cried at a film before until the traumatic experience of watching AI.

His day with his mum

It's hideous isn't it. I'm now eating dry coco pops and watching the vanishing.......

Which is the one where Robin Williams plays a robot? I think I have the films mixed up.

Ah. Bicentennial Man. That one was just CREEPY.

Must watch AI sometime, sounds right up my alley. I cry at everything.

I thought I was the only person who had this reaction!
It really, really upset me.
Even thinking about it now is making me sad.
What are we like!
