I'm here

It's about the 2010 short movie by Spike Jonze. Не is a weird guy known by the film "Being John Malkovich" and by the MTV show "Jackass".
The movie "I'm here" is also a bit strange. It's about the world inhabited by robots equally with people. At the same time, robots seem to have lower social status than people do. Maybe that's one of the reasons why they look like they were constructed from the parts of a very old PC. However, this makes them really cute, especially the facial expressions are very touching.
And that's the main reason for watching this film. If you want to spend half an hour seeing nice things, that would be a good choice. For the plot seems really poor to me. It's an ordinary melodramatic story of a modest guy falling in love with a cool girl and then getting her out of troubles almost at the cost of his life. It's so simple and you'll always know what's going to happen next. But it's so sweet nevertheless.

And there's only one thing I can't understand. Why on Earth should anybody create a robot that can't be repaired without causing a loss to another robot? Even if it's just an idea for a movie, it's so absurd that I can't accept it anyway. They are robots, aren't they? Then shouldn't legs and arms and other stuff be just spare parts?
