Captions: "Within a cyborg, there is a heart." "She has arms and legs and everything else that makes up her body." "But the memories that remain behind..." "...are that of a woman alone." "A lonely ghost's chance encounter" Director/writer: Mamoru Oshii INNOCENCE "Innocence... such is existence." My Japanese is a little dodgy but I think that's the essence of it.
There's a really good movie (based on a best-selling novel) which talks about this:
About a Boy (2002).
Plot: Hugh Grant plays a rich selfish layabout, Will, who cruises through life on the royalties from a song his deceased father penned years ago. He finds a great way to meet women who don't want to get involved through a single mother's group - which is where he meets the strange twelve year old boy Marcus (Nicholas Hoult), who lives with his depressed, suicidal mother Fiona (Toni Collette). A tragic event sees Marcus seeking comfort with the indifferent Will who begins to realise that there's more to life than sitting around at home all day.

If there's a chance time travel might become a reality, how come nobody from the future has visited us yet?
