Robot Stories

Out of all four of those videos i really liked the one about the young man who was in the hospital and his hard shelled mother who was in hot pursuit to repair and complete his childhood robot collection. I feel like this movie was not only relevant and true to today's medical technology but this video was two fold, the childhood toys had different meaning to the mother at the beginning of the video versus what it meant to her in the end. At the beginning the toys were primitive transformers that allowed the mother to go back to when her son was a child and still her baby boy versus in the end when the toys were just toys. they only had the painful memory of the death of her son and when she gave them away this symbolized her letting her son go after his death. The transformer toys symbolized the sons youth and innocence but the medical equipment were not the important robots in his life now as they sustained his life. I wrote about this story because it has a deeper meaning then what it may have just appeared to be as well as i feel it was not nearly as hokey as some of the other stories.
