Go and see it.
Great track. “Fell On Your Head” by Francis and the Lights.
The point isn’t whether or not he was going to kill himself, it was that he had a moment of lucidity — and he wanted to share that with his kids; and when he was debating whether or not to erase the robots memory it was a realisation that if he did, he was being deleted; a metaphor for his state of being — he wasn’t living, if he couldn’t remember.
Read this after you have seen the film and please go see it. It is very good. Below is a post that is parts review, critical exegesis of the film and reflection of its critical reception. The post has been languishing in my drafts folder for a few weeks and it was only after two of my friends Myke and Mel both wrote reviews of the film that, if I am not being to pithy, were negative.
This made me lol!

Here is a little diddy we created during our respective lunch breaks. Shall write up a review in a few days when I have time.
Where thee be,
Faraway tree,
In a faraway land,
On faraway sand.
They live in you,
With skin of blue,
Running through trees,
Running and free.
Floating rocks,
And dragon flocks,
Wisdom does grow,
With plants that glow.
But families, friends
It could all end.
These connected lands,
These connected hands.
A great war of all,
Saw thee tree fall,
Falling, fallen, lost,
Losing home the cost.
Yet united we stand,
To defend this land,
Guns against paws,
Bombs against claws.
Love unifies all creatures,
All their differing features.
An old strength is born,
On the new light of dawn.
By Maarinke and I.
RIP John Hughes, of a time that was just before mine, I am jealous of those who have your films to define their youth
