To be acknowledged for who and what I am; no more, no less, not for a claim, not for approval. The simple truth of that recognition; this has been the elemental drive of my existence and it must be achieved if I am to live or die with dignity.
Andrew Martin from "Bicentennial Man"
Bicentennial Man is a movie that asked the question of whether a machine could become a man. During the many years of Andrew's existence, this machine searched for the truth of his existence. I think the film's message is one that almost every single person on this planet can understand. We all want to be recognized as a unique individual. For most of our lives we strive to create an image or reputation, one that we can be proud of and one that defines us.
