Scene 1- Andrew accidentally broke Grace’s crystal horse and replaced it with a wooden horse.
This scene shows how Andrew Martin, a robot, who cared for his “Little Miss.” This scene showed how Andrew was able to feel Grace’s sadness, anger, and disappointment when he accidentally broke Grace’s horse. We all know that robots aren’t able to feel what others feel because this is something humans have. We have a soul and conscience, and they don’t. This scene also showed how he was able to create a wooden horse with his own ability for his Little Miss by studying woodcarving. This figurine started it all; it started the distinctiveness of this robot that Mr. Martin learned through observation of this robot. Thus, this shows the start of feelings and affection and the modernization of technology and its near likeness to humans.
Philosophical Concept:
As Turing said, the mind is a computer that generates certain outputs when given certain inputs. The “Turing Test” says that if the outputs of a computer give to certain inputs cannot be distinguished from the outputs a human would make to the same inputs, the computer is equivalent to the human mind.
We should all observe the modernization of technology and how someday technology might have the relationship of a human mind. This shows the start of affection and appreciation of something you think was impossible to have feelings. This learning enables me to realize and perceive the future wherein technology and humanity are so alike that we won’t be able to differ anymore.
This is also shows the beginning of acknowledging feelings in a person, wherein through actions and facial expressions, we learn how to distinguish emotions.

Scene 2: Andrew and his Little Miss talking about Frank, her boyfriend, and his proposal and also how she mentioned a “special friend.”
“I have a friend who is very special to me. He's sweet and exceptionally intelligent, but, well - he's not really a - I mean, a relationship between us would be impossible. It would never, could never, work out.”
This shows how a robot still lacks acknowledgements of feelings. This also shows how human can still have and know something that robots object can’t. There are emotions that machinery can’t develop such as love.
Philosophical Concept:
Thomas Aquinas said, “Humans are the boundary line of spiritual and corporeal nature, and intermediate between the two, sharing in both corporeal and spiritual perfections.”
There is always a boundary between humans and other creations. We have a conscience that makes us different from all beings. Humans are the unique creations of God, and since God gave a conscience; it may not be possible for us to create a creation with a conscience. There is always a limitation to experiences and to know even for the human creation.
This also points out how people need to make a decision in life, wherein they have to choose between what they want to do and what they have to do because it is more accepted in society.

Scene 3: Andrew Martin yearns for freedom
“One has studied your history. 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.”
Andrew asks Mr. Martin for his freedom. He was even willing to pay the price for his freedom. There was even one part of the scene that he wanted freedom, but he wanted to remain there but Mr. Martin told him since he wanted freedom he had to accept the consequences for the freedom.
Philosophical Concept:
Immanuel Kant defines free will as a direct experience of reality brought about by introspection. It relies on the faculty of volition that pushes an individual to decide or act on something without being coerced to do it. Andrew had demonstrated the concept of free will in the scene where he asked Mr. Martin if he could obtain his freedom. This correlates with Kant’s discussion about how freedom is seen as autonomous. Kant defines the laws governing autonomy as conditions under which the will of one individual could be combined with those of others, according to a law of freedom.
There is always a point in wherein a person seeks for freedom, such as freedom and independence from parents’ authority. Sometimes, there are things that are supposed to be set free for their happiness.
Scene 4: Galatea, the lady robot, told Andrew “I think personality is much more important than intelligence, don’t you?”
After travelling in different parts of the world to find some of his kind, Andrew saw a perky female robot with personality chip on. This scene shows that these two robots view themselves more than simple house appliances. This also shows that for them they are between robots and humans. They have the virtual intelligence but they also have the discerning human characteristics. This scene would be the start of the more radical things Andrew would do to become a human such as remodeling himself by having human skin. This can be associated with
Aristotle defines that humans have a certain characteristics such as reason and emotions. This is applicable in my life as a student since some of the words students say is that “it is not the grade that matters”. In the end would everything I learned in college last? Or perhaps the values that I’ve inferred from them are the essence of everything they taught me.
