I think I'm a bit late to this party but I finally got round to watching Spike Jonze's short film I'm Here which is available to watch online.
It's beautiful. And I'm not ashamed to say I shed a little tear at the end. It's only half an hour but it seemed to go a lot quicker than that.
It follows a lonely library worker robot who essentially has no emotion in his life until he meets a free spirited lady robot, who he falls blindly in love with. Things go a little wrong but I won't spoil it for you and divulge the build up to the end.
The soundtrack is adorable. The fake band who feature - The Lost Trees are made up of Aska Matsumiya from The Moon Rats, along with Yeah Yeah Yeah’s guitarist Nick Zinner, Red Hot Chili Peppers’ bassist Flea, and the owner of the bookshop Family, (in the area of LA where this particular story plays out) David Kramer.
This song is beautiful:-
If you have a spare 30mins - get it on your computer box.
