The synopsis of the movie drew my attention and I went for it desperately. "Bicentennial Man" was truly involving, touching and heart warming until the death of "Sir". The relationship they had was so natural, they talked to each other like normal friends, I just felt they missed a hug. It was impossible not to cry when "Sir" was about to die and called Andrew to speak the famous last words. I saw in this film a big message about prejudice, racism and problems involving intolerance, and we are able to feel and be in the place the underdog is.
But I felt the movie could have explored even more the friendship between them and could have ended after "Sir" and "Ma'am" deaths. Sadly, they rolled the movie and explored it without being necessary, the message of it was almost all already showed. The only necessary thing in the end was to show we have to fight for our rights and for our own happiness, and Andrew fortunately made it. Don't get me wrong, the movie isn't bad and I would watch it again in a rainy day.
PS: What's up with IMDb reviewers claiming this movie is overly sentimental? This is a drama movie, it's written in the synopsis that a robot begin to show feelings, what were you expecting? If you don't like emotional movies, don't even bother watching dramas
