A Modern Telling Of Pinocchio
Stanley Kubrick wanted to make this movie & so would bounce ideas off his good friend Steven Spielberg. But when Kubrick died unexpectedly, it looked like the project would have faded as well, but Spielberg took it up & has made a movie that not only is entertaining but will tug at your heart in so many ways you will always be able to repeat view it. Programming the proper responses into an artificial intelligence is one thing. But can a robot actually learn to understand what love truly is? Pure & hard core. Funny & sad. Mysterious & obvious. Plus, have fun identifying guest star's cameos. This is a masterpiece & belongs in every "permanent" collection.
The studio expended time and treasure on this Blu-ray edition. The picture quality (upscaled) is near 4K. The audio (DTS-HD 6.1) (yes, 6.1) is clear with excellent ambient background.
The story is an involving and surprisingly tender tale of a child android "adopted" then abandoned by its human "parents" leaving it to fend for itself in the world with the mentality and naivete of a child.
