Little Lost...

...watching "I, Robot" because the plot is not reflective of the text. I'd be curious to see what a more accurate interpretation would look like with the film split into the various stories Asimov writes about. The only story that translates to the film is "Little Lost Robot." The first few scenes involve Will Smith tracking down Sunny, the little lost robot who is lying through his fake teeth to protect himself from death. Personally, I read "Little Lost Robot" as the climax of the Asimov's work as a whole because it effectively conveys the ways robots can outsmart humans. Does the climax of the film take place in the first few scenes? If so, is this an effective interpretation of the stories as a whole, and would Asimov's collection of stories benefit from a new order?
