Bicentennial Man

I was cleaning up my room few hours ago when I saw a piece of paper. It has quotations/dialogues I’ve wrote down last September from Bicentennial Man, a movie that was assigned for our group for a Movie Review in our class, Philosophy of Man.

The words are so inspiring so I’ve decided to make a blog for it. Well actually, I supposed to make one right after the day we’ve watched the film. I just can’t remember why I did not.


Three Laws of Robotics

  • A robot may not cause harm to human being or through an action, cause a human being come to harm
  • A robot must obey all human orders except those orders that conflict with the first law.
  • A robot must protect itself for as long as doing so does not conflict with the first two laws.



“Andrew is not a person. He is a property. But a property is also important.”


“It doesn’t matter what he is. One needed to be benefit for what he does.”


“Things change. Things always change. People move on, as it should be.”


“One merely wishes to be declared to be free. Terrible wars have been fought where millions have died for one idea, freedom. And it seems that something that means so much to so many people would be worth having.”


“We have personality. Personality is much more important than intelligence.”


“Imperfection is what makes us unique.”


“It’s cruel that you can cry and I cannot. There is a terrible pain that that needed to express. Will all the people that I care for always leave?”


“Take chances, make mistake. Sometimes, it’s not important not to be perfect but do the wrong thing. Not to learn from your mistakes. We need to make them to find out what is real and what is not, to find out what you feel. Human beings are terrible messes.”


“He wants to be acknowledged for who he is. No more, no less. Not for acclaims, not for approval but the simple truth or recognition. And it needs to achieve he have to live or die with dignity.”


With Love,
