Review of 'I'm here'.

I really enjoyed the short film 'I'm here'. I felt that although it was partially animated, the music and close ups showing emotion created a sense of sympathy for the Robot, which worked really well. The story line was good, love being the main topic, alongside loneliness which created a good contrast. We saw the social development of the robot as he met the female, and the happiness shown throughout this development, as he increases to fall for the female robot.

His love is highlighted when he offers his limbs to the female robot after she injures himself, making the audience feel happy but sad for the robot. As he loses more limbs for her, his love is portrayed through these selfless actions.

The ending to the story is quite hard hitting, even if it is animated. The way the robot gives everything up for the one he loves makes the audience feel happy for them, but sad for the robot.
I loved the way that animation was mixed up with the real world, and although discriminated, the robots also managed to feel love. Which is ironically a very human emotion.
