"For a particular sequence in the film when we flash back to Bruce Banner's childhood memories, Ang wanted some concept art to see what we can do with the stuffed animals - to make them symbols for all the repressed anger that the young Bruce experienced in his childhood home. In the end, due to time and budget, the shot was cut and in its place was a pretty simple motion-blurred shot of young Bruce playing violently with the dolls." - Tang

This is pretty cool. I always thought A.I. was visually stunning, although I don't know if I liked the movie much?
ReplyDeleteSome of those are amazing. Yeah, I didn't like AI either. Very cold movie.
ReplyDeleteI enjoyed A. I. quite a bit and own a DVD of it. I don't know why the movie was so polarizing, although the plight of the A. I., David could be considered sad, it wasn't without friendships along the way, plus it had a lot to mull over in the mind after the movie ended. Not a lot of modern SF has that affect for me.
ReplyDeleteNeat art you have showcased here.
