Short description
Richard Martin buys a gift, a new NDR-114 robot. The product is named Andrew by the youngest of the family's children. "Bicentennial Man" follows the life and times of Andrew, a robot purchased as a household appliance programmed to perform menial tasks. As Andrew begins to experience emotions and creative thought, the Martin family soon discovers they don't have an ordinary robot.
What's left behind the scenes
- The film is based on the novel “The Positronic Man” by Isaac Asimov and Robert Silverberg, and Asimov's novella “The Bicentennial Man”.
- The car driven by Ma’am was previously used in the film "Demolition Man" (1993).
- Andrew's robot number is NDR-114. This reveals a connection to Stanley Kubrick, who repeatedly used this number in his films (for example, "A Clockwork Orange" (1971), "Dr. Strangelove or: How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb" (1963)). In Asimov's story, robot Andrew "did not remember" his number.
- The three rules that Andrew follows are the "Three Laws of Robotics," formulated by Isaac Asimov, which are very popular in science fiction.
- The name "Galatea" for the film's heroine was chosen deliberately. In ancient mythology, Galatea is a statue brought to life, sculpted by Pygmalion.
- The headquarters of "NorthAm Robotics" is actually the headquarters of "Oracle Corporation" in the United States.
