“Bicentennial Man” is a Comedy Sci-Fi Drama, screenplay by Nicholas Kazan based on the short story by Isaac Asimov and Directed by Chris Columbus.
The
story follows the life and times of an android call Andrew (Robin
Williams), who is purchased as
a household robot by Richard Martin (Sam Neill) and programmed to perform
menial tasks.
However
within a few days the Martin family realizes that they don't have an ordinary
droid as Andrew begins to experience emotions and creative thought.
The
Isaac
Asimov story spans two
centuries, and Andrew learns the intricacies of humanity.
It’s
a wonderfully charming film with wit and pathos, full of love and hope
brilliantly acted by Robin Williams with a measured performance by Sam Neill,
but Embeth Davidtz as Portia is an absolute delight, Oliver Platt is excellent
as Rupert Burns the android expert and Kiersten Warren as the effervescent
Galatea
