A heartfelt science-fiction romance

Rating: 9/10 (30 November 2018)

My favorite science fiction poses the question "How do humans react to the emergence of some new tech?" I always like seeing an author explore how our philosophies / moralities / laws would be shaped by some (disruptive) new invention.
I think 'Her' did that very well. The best example was the mixed responses Theodore got when he told people he was having a relationship with an OS. I thought it was a very sincere relationship they had in that there was no physical component, they were just connecting mind-to-mind.
Side notes:
Scarlett Johansson impressed me with her acting ability. She emoted and reacted well by only using her voice. She proved that she's more than just a pretty face.
I was impressed at the candid and genuine portrayal of Theodore's depression, especially at the beginning of the movie. The director effectively used silence and lighting to show how empty Theo felt. That resonated with me.
