	The Bicentennial Man - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		"The Bicentennial Man" is a novella by Isaac Asimov.
		The story formed the basis of the novel The Positronic Man (1993), co-written with Robert Silverberg, and the 1999 movie Bicentennial Man, which starred Robin Williams.
		The story was originally written for the 1976 American bicentennial -- Asimov was one of several authors commissioned to write a story revolving around the phrase "the bicentennial man", which the writers were to interpret in whatever way they chose.

	Bicentennial year left Ohio jubilant
		Bicentennial organizers banked on those events to draw large crowds from throughout the Midwest.
		For Kay Fisher of Wilmington, the president of the Clinton County Historical Society, the Ohio Bicentennial was a way to hook her neighbors on local history as well.
		The county, she said, had numerous bicentennial events - an Ohio birthday party at Cowan Lake, the bell casting at Wilmington's annual Corn Festival, a play in the local schools about angels in heaven discussing Ohio and its past.

	Filmtracks: Bicentennial Man (James Horner)
		The score for Bicentennial Man is an extension of the wedding track in Deep Impact (which, if you enjoyed that theme, might startle you with the similarities between it and the main title theme of this score), and the fantastical forest sequences in The Spitfire Grill.
		The thematic material in Bicentennial Man has the same string intensity and delicate piano as Legends of the Fall as the score progresses, and the song by Celine Dion (though not original, we must all believe), is an adequate interpretation and performance of the title theme.
		Overall the score for Bicentennial Man is an excellent one, and as an added bonus, the Celine Dion song as the end of the album is actually listenable, even though I for one have been fed up with her voice for quite some time now.

	Bicentennial Man
		Bicentennial Man is almost a compilation of some his best work for films of this sort.
		The main theme of Bicentennial Man is used as the theme for Celine Dion's vocal exercise on lyricist, Will Jennings average contribution.
		With their soft strings, quiet piano and tender woodwind solos, these are some of my favorite Horner scores, and the composer himself has said that scores like those are the ones he enjoys the most to compose.

	Bicentennial Man: Cinephiles Movie Review
		Bicentennial Man draws most of its humor from the protagonist's clumsy unfamiliarity with human ways, and its sentimentality from Andrew's discovery of the meaning of love, freedom and happiness (although the latter is only implied).
		However, Bicentennial Man's most intriguing and most undeveloped aspect involves the portrayal of a society of humans who resists full acceptance of the humanized robot.
		Bicentennial Man succeeds in entertaining the viewer on a visual level by juxtaposing unfamiliar images (a robot alongside a little girl at the beach or playing the piano).

	BICENTENNIAL MAN \| James Horner@ Cinemusic Online (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
		Horner still is a master of reading drama and spotting film, and, amid the lack of total originality, he has created a truly magical album, and has once again shown why he is one of the most sought after composers in Hollywood today.
		BICENTENNIAL MAN is a never-ending slush of emotional music that washes over you until you're too tired to fight it.
		While the controversy of Horner's BICENTENNIAL score has since drifted away (this review comes on the eve of the video/DVD release) it should regain some steam once the film, which tanked at the box office, gathers some home video audience.
