I saw AI about 10 years ago but have forgotten most of it... :/

The scene I most remember is David sinking to the bottom of the ocean. I remember thinking afterwards that would have been a fantastically haunting moment to end the film - wasn't a fan of the last 20 minutes.

This does make me want to watch AI again though. I'll see if it's on Netflix.

When I start to feel like I'm functioning almost normally socially, and then someone tells me that I've been communicating something entirely different than I thought I was. I hate feeling so inadequate.

that was the original ending of the movie as conceived by its original producer Stanley Kubrick. but [from what i read] poor test audience reaction [among other reasons] led Spielberg to tack on the epilogue of the future resolution. I believe that was necessary to make the movie emotionally bearable. you might also want to find the brian aldiss short story upon which it is based, "supertoys last all summer long."

Very little makes me cry but for some reason, sad songs make me cry a lot.

What ideas, themes, objects, people or situations make you cry out of sadness?

Thinking about love, broken friendships, loneliness and death makes me cry. I'm not really sure if that's more an NT or Aspie thing to cry about, so I was wondering if I could use your help in finding out. What makes you cry?

Most people cry about those things you mentioned.

Animals being mistreated, small kids being abused, kids being left by their parents, funerals(because of the atmosphere),- and Bachs d-minor Chaconne for violin (orSegovia in his recording from the 50és).

This except I'm never caught crying. I seldom cry... maybe two or three times a year and when I do I don't do it around other people at all. If someone tries to draw out an emotional side of me then I shutdown.

When I was younger the concept of eternity terrified me. I cried a lot from that. Now I don't think about it. Apeirophobia I suppose it was (is?). Other than that I don't really cry at all.

The last time I cried was because I was furious at my dad. My dad and sister made me go to a roller derby with my sister and her friends. I didn't want to go at all but it wasn't exactly optional. I brought a Rubik's cube so I would have something to do while I was there. My sister told my dad that I didn't socialize while I was there and boy was he pissed. He lectured me for 10 minutes about outward appearance or something and threatened to destroy my newest Rubik's cube. Then my mom (who understands me better than he does) made him apologize. I was just shutdown throughout all of this but after they left I cried myself to sleep.
