A.I. Artificial Intelligence(2001)

This film is suggested for ages all ages and may contain mild thematic content. Biblical themes explored include {"reference":"John 3:16","theme":"Love that does not fail","description":"David's love for Monica — absolute, programmed, inextinguishable across twenty centuries — is a mechanical approximation of agape: love that does not depend on the beloved's response, that does not diminish with rejection, that persists beyond death."}, {"reference":"1 Corinthians 13:7","theme":"Love endures all things","description":"David's love endures abandonment, obsolescence, twenty centuries of freezing water, the extinction of his beloved's entire species, and the death of its object. The Pauline catalog of what love endures is enacted through David's impossible persistence."}, {"reference":"Revelation 21:4","theme":"Death shall be no more","description":"The super-beings' reconstruction of Monica for a final day with David enacts the resurrection promise: the dead restored, the separation overcome, the grief at last addressed. The film acknowledges the finitude of the restoration but treats the one day as genuinely sufficient."}, {"reference":"John 11:35","theme":"Jesus wept","description":"David's grief at being separated from Monica, his inability to process the rejection, his despair — the robot child who weeps because he has been programmed to love and the love has nowhere to go — is among cinema's most affecting images of grief as the form love takes in loss."}. We recommend parents review content before watching with younger children.
