When David meets another David robot, he destroys it in a fit
of rage, believing that this new David will compete with him for
his mother's love. In retrospect, this outburst justifies the decision
of David's parents to return him to Cybertronics for destruction.
Do you think Spielberg included this scene intentionally to com-
plicate our feelings for David, or is this just a case of shortsighted
(and inconsistent) storytelling? Explain your thinking.
