I think you might be missing the point if you are interpreting the direction style as instruction for yourself (the viewer). The setup for, and relationship between David and his mother is portrayed in that style to describe how David understands love, which is completely innocent, pure, and simple, the way that a young child loves. David isn't a dynamic character because he can't mature, since he was a robot designed to be a child-forever. The film actually moves past this setup rather quickly, and that's when it becomes more nuanced.
I'm confused. You say the setup is not for me, the viewer, and then go on to describe the ways in which the setup is for my benefit.
