A.I.: The End
At the end of the movie A.I. (Artificial Intelligence), the robot kid David just wants his mother back. And while the robot aliens or whatever they are can't seem to recreate her as a robot or a hologram, they've recreated everything else from his memory. Seems like they could make a fake Mom too, but whatever. Oh, but just when we think it's hopeless, the teddy bear character remembers it has a lock of the mother's hair! (Really? It kept all that hair for so long? Um, okay...) But the robot aliens then claim they can only make a human live for one day once it has been recreated. (That's not what I remember about cloning, but whatever...) Oh, but can't they cut all that hair up into multiple pieces per stand and give the robot kid thousands of days with his "Mom"? Oh well, maybe they don't really care about this kid robot after all, and I have to assume Steven Spielberg doesn't either, because what's going to happen after the last scene we see before the end credits roll? Why, David is going to wake up next to the rotting corpse/skeleton of his mother (!!!). That's very nice. Plus, as an ageless, deathless child, he'll be traumatized for all eternity after this episode.
