but whihc part do you think was Spielberg and which part do you think was Cubrik
Spielberg says that the end was mostly Cubrik
I have to say i thought the end was good stuff – fast moving glimpses of a distant future it was all the sentimental crap before this the did my head in

AI: Artificial Intelligence  posthumous completion
One Kubrick project was eventually completed by another director, Steven Spielberg. Throughout the 1980s and early 90s, Kubrick collaborated with various writers (including Brian Aldiss, Sara Maitland and Ian Watson) on a project called by various names, including “Pinocchio” and “Artificial Intelligence.” The film was developed expanding on Aldiss’ short story “Super-Toys Last All Summer Long,” which Kubrick and his writers turned into a feature-length film in three acts. It was a futuristic fairy tale about a robot which resembles and behaves as a child, who is sold as a temporary surrogate to a family whose only son is in a coma. The robot, however, learns of this, and out of sympathy is left abandoned in the woods by his owners instead of being returned to the factory for destruction. The rest of the story concerns the robot’s programmed efforts to understand how he differs from humans, and whether it is worth remaining functional in a world on the brink of self-destruction.Kubrick reportedly held long telephone discussions with Steven Spielberg regarding the film, and, according to Spielberg, at one point stated that the subject matter was closer to Spielberg’s sensibilities than his. In 2001, following Kubrick’s death, Spielberg took the various drafts and notes left by Kubrick and his writers, and composed a new screenplay, and in association with what remained of Kubrick’s production unit, made the movie AI: Artificial Intelligence, starring Haley Joel Osment.
The film contains a posthumous producing credit for Stanley Kubrick at the beginning, and the brief dedication “For Stanley” at the end. The film contains many recurrent Kubrick motifs, such as an omniscient narrator, an extreme form of the three act structure, the themes of humanity and inhumanity, and a sardonic view of Freudian psychology.
AI was not a major box office or critical success, and the unorthodox combination of two vastly different directorial visions was considered by some critics a confusing failure unappealing to fans of both Spielberg and Kubrick. However, the film has a cult following among science-fiction fans and is considered by some to be one of Spielberg’s finest films.”
PS my bad on the “Kubrick” spelling 😳
December 14, 2006 at 3:21 pm #37045XDCErratic-SpaceParticipantI think it was the last 10 minutes or so that I started to enjoy but then it stopped.
January 16, 2007 at 1:55 pm #37046XDCErratic-SpaceParticipantAnd the latest addition, ‘Children Of Men’
What the f*ck? Some one gets up the duff and all hell breaks loose. Micheal Cain growing ganja, and holographic adverts on the side of your buses. I got 3/4 of the way through before giving up. If this is the best films we can come up with I’m glad the human race is dying out!
Also, if the majority of the women of the future look like that is it any wonder no one’s getting pregnant?
January 16, 2007 at 2:31 pm #37047XDCiNSANEParticipantyour ghye!

Children of men was a good film. But then again you said you liked the last 10 mins of Ai which are the disney style fairies at the bottom of the garden bit. So no surprises there 😛
