I'm Here

Retro robots in the future, same as here and now, but robots stomp about. A quiet, lonesome, librarian robot fixates on a sleeker fem-bot with some questionable robot friends, enters into a one-sided relationship, gives too much, the end. It's the kind of film that doesn't matter, it's slight, it's light, it's quite simple. But give it the half hour it asks, invest a bit of time and let it flow past you, and it's a sweet slice of everyday life. The ups and downs and all the angles of relationships. Filmed in a washed-out sunny California vibe, it's not a technical effort, but it does have an extended pop video feel. Subtle animation give life to the robots, and for all the lack of reality, the characters are believable, and sympathetic.

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

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'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.

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.
