John Ashbery, A Poem of Unrest

The true act of mourning is not to suffer from the loss of the loved object; it is to discern one day, on the skin of the relationship, a certain tiny stain, appearing there as the symptom of a certain death: for the first time I am doing harm to the one I love, involuntarily, of course, but without panic.

Stan Brakhage on A.I.

"It is said that the child actor Haley Joel Osment, whom I would simply call the Mozart of living screen actors, trained himself to never move his head before he'd moved his eyes first, to always take the exact same steps around any corner of the studio set, soforth, and yet to retain some full measure of himself as being very normally a little boy. Without this great art of acting at center, the film's themes would be completely unrecognizable.    Time must stretch, within the fiction, to thousands of years. It must do so (as an equation) to counterbalance (thus make sense of) the single day in which the child can reconcile with his originally abandoning mother. It is this part of the film, Artificial Intelligence, that does most need the counter-(Kubrick)-balancing resonances of Spielberg - to wit, express sentiment so pervasive as to almost, but not quite, pitch over into sentimentality." From "The Hidden God: Film and Faith", edited by Mary Lea Bandy and Antonio Monda.
