Is this AI propaganda or just an open ending???
I don't actually think this is a bad movie or one that's difficult to understand.The change in the genre shouldn't be that disappointing, since it's always been classified as Sci-fi and I don't really believe in genres that limit the writer's creativity.
I also don't believe this is motherhood propaganda, I'd like to reserve that title to that one K-drama with Lee Minho...
My problem here is how open it is towards the whole AI situation, I feel like it's dangerous in our current political climate. You could also think that it's meant to make you think about it, but as artists I think it's really important to be clear about this kind of topic.
They talk about AI that perfectly imitates human feelings through memories and experiences. However, they're still not human, that child is not a human nor the mother after dying the first time, even if the robot holds all her memories. At the end it's just a bunch of code that will end up repeating the same things endlessly because that's what it's meant to do. And trying to produce sympathy towards a computer feels like you're supporting it.
As I said before, the open ending with the new artificial human species could just be a way to make you think and not necessarily telling you to support AI. But that's how I felt after reflecting a bit that ending full of hope...
