Galatea

I know many, many people from class have commented on Pygmalion and Galatea already, but I found an interesting reference to the story in a place I never thougt I would. In the Robin Williams movie Bicentennial man, based on a novella by Isaac Asimov, a robot struggles to become a man and learn what the 'human condition' is and what it means to experience it.



In the movie he meets his female counterpart (on the right), another robot who is like him in many ways:






Including his desire to become human. The name of this statue that became a woman?

Galatea, of course :)
