Pinocchio-Where Dreams are Born

"I do love you, I've always loved you!"  says Monica to David for the last time and that was the everlasting moment he has been waiting for. This was the ending of one the masterpieces of spielberg. How would it be to be in his shoes. to be the boy who will never find love. The boy who was built to express his feelings by a push of a button but was denied the true feelings shown in return.

Monica was in a dilemma between her true son whom she was biologically programmed to love and what the society approves of; on the other hand David the Mecha-Robot who(not which) loves her unconditionally. This brings up the question of the creation of feelings can it be merely by chemical reactions? Well the question has haunted me over the years and damn it I've decided to let it be simple take it as it is,  do not ask too many questions when it comes to emotions.

Back to the Mecha the society does not approve of the bonding between the Human and the Mecha. So it orders for its dismantling. Monica though knowing the fact that it is just a robot has the true sense of feeling which she hides inside her. She lets him out in the open, if she had dismantled him it would have been the end, all would have been back to normal, but something inside her decided else.

David goes in search of the fairy godmother who would turn the wooden boy to a real boy....And finally finds out that he is just another project of the mastermind, an actor playing his role in this world.

Could not grasp the truth in his mind, with shattered dreams, getting to know that what he believed in his whole lifetime was a lie. David escapes the world...

But the superpower is not so evil he finds him way forward in the super mechas world. Where they grant him a wish, a day, a day with his mother.. He wakes her up for the last time... pours her coffee just the way she likes for the last time..... get his hair styled for the last time.... plays with her for the last time.... tells her all his stories for the last time.... And blows out the candles of his first and last birthday cake. As the candle light dims away so does the light outsides.. It is time to draw the shades.. Monica goes to bed for the last time.. Kisses David and says " I do love you, I've always loved you!"
