I'm Here

U can actually feel what kind of impact the separation from sofia Coppola had on spike from seeing this and her, such a tragic.

I really like this type of film, as it reminds me of French movies where it's more about the characters and their environment. One of the bleakest films I have seen in ages. All characters are unhappy souls, surviving in a grim world, unable to improve their lot. The cinematography is stark and bare. It's an amazing work and everything I had hoped for from an artistic standpoint. It's a world where the only thing that keeps lives afloat is the sensitivity of the bilaterally desperately needy relationships on display. It's a very short movie -- too short for my tastes -- but it gets 7/10 in my ratings scale, so check it out.

Even with just a few minutes, the director establishes very well the way robots live, the lonely, sad and complicated life they live, and the way they relate to each other and to the world around them. I confess I didn't expect it to be so touching. Even not "appearing" on the scene (the actors are covered by some kind of mask that imitates a safe or PC tower) the body language and the dialogues are both very good.

Apparently, for Sheldon all that matters is Francesca's well-being.

I understand that this is perhaps the director trying to demonstrate what love would be in the vision of the machines, but I still think that Sheldon missed a bit of self-respect. I´m aware that maybe I'm here judging too much based on my condition as a human being.

Another thing that I noticed, at no time does the girl's life appear, I mean, what she does, who she lives with, but we started the film seeing that Andrew Garfield's character has routines, rides the bus, works in the library, that makes we relate better to him than to her.

He was clearly in love with the girl, liked and valued her more than he did to himself. At some point I caught myself thinking that maybe she wouldn't show up to pick him up at work for whatever reason. Something that indeed happens at the end, but the reason is much more dramatic. I recommend you watch it and see if you agree with me or not.

I'm Here Is a short film about a computer/robot living in a discriminative world of which humans are dominant, we follow the main character Sheldon a lonely Bookkeeper robot fall in love with a 'Live-wire' girl robot who does not conform to the human societies expectations of robots. Throughout the short we get and insight of what its like for the robots and this helps us to empathise with them. I believe in itself the discrimination of the robots does not differ much from the discrimination that has and still is being seen in the real world. Overall I found the short film 'I'm here' very touching and heart warming. I believe that the director wanted to send out a strong message about love and friendship. I perceived the message that without those you love the world can be a lonely place, and therefore you should give an 'arm and a leg' to keep them close.

Selfless sacrifice in the android community given the warm, soft focused, fuzzy treatment in a well realised near future world.
