A beautiful celluloidal poem

Rating: 8/10 (17 January 2014)

'Her' is surprisingly fresh and beautiful. It has been a long time ever since I watched a movie which is so beautiful and shows an amazing picture about human needs, our psychologies, relations and a lot more. Everyone of us needs partners to share our emotions and to explore more about ourselves as well. This movie excels in showcasing few marvels about human nature and our want for something that we can always rely on, talk to, and spend our life with.
The story is simple. A writer who has split with his partner falls in love with an OS.
Yes, this movie is futuristic and most technologies shown in the movie don't exist right now. There are few people who are trying to be critical about the fact that it is not very possible to make an OS which evolves day by day and they bash this movie saying that this is not realistic. However, the beauty of the movie lies in the manner how the character along with his OS evolve with time, the romance between them, the annoying friends, neighbors, a busy city where people have no time to care for others and so on. Very touching romance, and the characterization of Theodore is amazing.
Even in terms of technical aspects, this movie excels big time. Almost everything is perfect in this movie.
The very fact that there are only a couple of characters (2-3) in this movie who have a physical body and all the other characters are only in the form of voices makes it all more interesting.
Joaquin Phoenix has done a splendid job playing the role of Theodore, a man who has lost his love, but writes romantic love letters for others and later falls in love with an OS. Scarlett Johansonn's voice sounds great. She has succeeded in brining in all types of emotions perfectly just in the form of her voice.
I am a very amateur review writer. This movie is extremely beautiful and wanted to let the world know about this. So, gave it a shot.
