** The end of the movie where Andrew [[spoiler:willingly gives up his life to be happy (fulfilling his dreams of being recognized as human, that is)]] becomes a whole lot darker when you take into account Robin Williams' own suicide in 2014 (the day he died, August 11, was also Creator/EmbethDavidtz's birthday). Not to mention near the end of the film, seeing Robin Williams [[spoiler:in aging prosthetics makeup]] is a bit odd and unnerving now since he tragically only lived to age 63.

* SugarWiki/VisualEffectsOfAwesome: While some debate the overall quality of the film, the robot suit which Robin wears for the first half of the film looks very impressive. Not one part has a seam or opening, and is instead rife with more mechanical details to further sell that this is indeed an android and not just a costume.
