This Andrew Garfield-Starring Short About Robots in Love Is One of Spike Jonze’s Best

It’s rare to find a feature film director turn back to their roots in the short film format, but in 2010 Spike Jonze created one of his best works with I’m Here, a brilliantly tender 31-minute sci-fi romance starring Andrew Garfield as a robot in love.

The Robots in 'I'm Here' Are a Metaphor for the Working Class One would think that there’s only so much world-building one could be afforded over the course of a short that runs barely over half an hour long. However, within the first few frames of I’m Here, Jonze already tells you everything you need to know. The robots in I’m Here aren’t wildly sophisticated supercomputers capable of awesome technological feats of power. Instead, they’re reduced to menial public service laborers.

Just Like ‘The Giving Tree,’ ‘I’m Here’ Thrives Off of Multiple Interpretations By the end of the film, Sheldon takes it upon himself to rescue Francesca after she’s cut in half, insisting to the doctors that he’ll give his parts to her in spite of the fact that it would drastically limit him. Just as the titular tree of the source material is reduced to a mere stump, Sheldon is reduced to a disembodied head.
