Modern+Prometheus

== =Modern Prometheus=

A modern version of the Prometheus myth would be Artificial Intelligence. In the movie we get to see a modern world of robots and artificial life. Through this movie we could see how artificial life is being created just like the novel Frankeinstein. This similarity betwen the movie and the novel of imitating life shows how the myth of Prometheus is being applied. In the movie a young, robot boy named David has been built to become part of a family. The family that has acepted to have this young boy would program it to its senses to know the family. Of course, since the young boy is a robot he would just be programmed to respond and do what is he is being asked to do. He can't have the life of a regular young boy like to swim in a pool, eat, or have any sort of feelings. However, David begins to notice everything about life and wants to be a "real boy" just like the others. David begins to do things that the other boys do but all he ends up doing is getting others hurt or getting in trouble. David has been created artificially to live, but his life is different and he does not understand. Yet, towards his adventure of wanting to become a real boy we see that he starts to have feeling s and actually cry.
