Are me and my partner the only people on Earth who really liked A.I.? That was my favorite movie from last year, one of only two films that made me think even a little bit (the other was the wonderful Waking Life, which somehow did not get nominated for best animated feature).
My feeling was that people didn't like what appeared on the surface to be a (kind of) happy ending but on further reflection turned out to be deeply disturbing. That film was wierd, I give you that, but the Kubrick/Spielberg mix was unsettling and kept you guessing through the entire film. I was surprised it didn't get a best picture nomination, and I really think that Haley Joel Osment deserved a nomination for his suburb performance. I think A.I. may be a sort of Blade Runner: Ignored and under appreciated at first, but in ten years or so will be seen as a classic. Yahoo!
