One reason the 2001 Spielberg/Kubrick movie A.I. doesn’t hold up so well is that we’re supposed to see the angry humans who brutally destroy robots as the monsters, whereas the real monsters were the humans who designed robots to replace human beings in the first place. Besides, what kind of sick bastard builds a machine that can feel sadness?

Maybe two of those people were acting out the rage of humans being set aside by technology and automation. The rest just wanted to mindlessly smash something.
