I'm Here by Spike Jonze intrigued and interested me because Spike used the unusual technique of using a partially animated skill to create the robots but it also had a serious feel towards it. The animated structure to it made it feel like it would be quite childish but the way the robots were represented in a modern society made it feel very mature but moving at the same time. The emotion that was portrayed throughout the robot's feelings made me fascinated by the short film, I felt like I wanted to watch it over and over again. It was a unique portrayal of love within society portrayed through the future development of robots and technology. The close ups of the emotions in the main parts were moving, they made you feel and relate to them; like you were living the story that was going on. The story followed a male robot living life as an outcast in future society, and as he went through life trying to be normal we experienced all aspects of his life with him, following him through work, abuse but mainly love. When he met the female robot the mood enlightened and we felt this through the music/lighting/techniques etc as he was in a happier mood, so the rest of the film turned to a happier mood to display it.
It was also ironic that he felt human emotions as he was a robot and robots are usually expected to feel no emotions whatsoever, which made it very intriguing.
