ReaderKenka Let's be realistic.

ChicRawIdol A brilliant film that helped define a genre

Hayleigh Joseph This is ultimately a movie about the very bad things that can happen when we don't address our unease, when we just try to brush it off, whether that's to fit in or to preserve our self-image.

alexeykorovin This short movie is about sacrifice. One of the main characters (a robot) sacrifices himself literally by giving away parts of his (its?) body to repair the other, female robot he loves. A cute story with a wonderful message. It's low-budget, true. The heads of the robots are dirty like old computers from the 90s you would find on a junkyard. The word of the future doesn't differ much from today, except there are retro-style robots everywhere doing menial jobs. Still, this kind of "low-budget"- ness feels cool in its own way. I even think that if such a movie would be done as a 1.5-hour film with celebrity actors and a big budget, it would probably turn out not as good as it's now. This is definitely a piece of art and well worth the watch!

lw-8027 I'm Here Is a short film about a computer/robot living in a discriminative world of which humans are dominant, we follow the main character Sheldon a lonely Bookkeeper robot fall in love with a 'Live-wire' girl robot who does not conform to the human societies expectations of robots. Throughout the short we get and insight of what its like for the robots and this helps us to empathise with them. I believe in itself the discrimination of the robots does not differ much from the discrimination that has and still is being seen in the real world. Overall I found the short film 'I'm here' very touching and heart warming. I believe that the director wanted to send out a strong message about love and friendship. I perceived the message that without those you love the world can be a lonely place, and therefore you should give an 'arm and a leg' to keep them close.

vogonify A shy, young man goes through his mundane life without companionship. Until he learns to dream.Spike Jonze has made some bizarre-looking movies to say normal-sounding things. I'm Here is one such with a basic premise so basic, you wonder if the facade he uses is just a gimmick for drawing an audience. But his imagery takes you beyond petty suspicions and introduces some remarkable, relate-able characters. In fact, it almost makes you feel that that was the only way to make the film. It is a truly commendable quality of this short.This is a wonderful effort and takes just 30 minutes to say effectively what many full-length features fail to in two hours. A must watch .

SunnydaZe10 Spike Jonze is a director known for over-the-top high concept music videos and yet his films are always so emotional and subtle.Many scenes in this film moved me yet I can't put my finger on why. It captures the loneliness of a big city, but how just a few friends and a sweetheart can cure that empty feeling. Everything is kept so simple as to be universal.The look of the robots is very retro and ironic. They look older than the computer I am writing this on by maintaining the boxy gray look of a computer from the late 90s. In many ways this short seems to take place in LA during the 90s. Everything seems dated.I won't say much about the relationship at the center of the story but I do wonder if it is meant to be dysfunctional or not. Let's just say it reaches a very one-sided place in terms of giving more than you get in a relationship. The ending is moving but also a bit creepy when you consider the reality of what has been sacrificed to save a casual lover.
