But every so often he comes back to the figure of a lonely boy facing theincomprehension and cruelty of the adult world.In the sentimental film Artificial Intelligence: AI (2001) based on a futuristic tale, the central character is an 11 year-oldhighly advanced robotic boy named David. Monica is the woman who adopted him as a substitute for her real son, who remainsin cryo-stasis, stricken by an incurable disease. David is living happily with Monica and her husband, but when their real sonreturns home after a cure is discovered, his life changes dramatically, but David still holds his never-ending love for his"mother." Two thousand years later, David requests to recreate Monica out of her DNA, although she could live for one dayonly.The central plot of this story is the experience of David who is to be abandoned and betrayed by his parents who adoptedhim. Spielberg asks us to identify with a young boy, who exiled from the only home he knows and forced to find his way in astrange and unsympathetic world.
