It’s an admittedly minor but mostly true tale of an oddball outsider overcoming overwhelming odds.

Submitted by PatrickMcD on March 6, 2015 - 10:18amCHICAGO – Who would think a robot movie would teach us about being more intuitively “human”? “Chappie” is a very peculiar film – with fighting robots, violence and grit on one side, and the tenderness of finding a nurturing source and a consciousness on the other.

It’s really worth your time.
