Her :is Love for Real?

Rating: 9/10 (17 February 2014)

Her is set in the futuristic Los Angeles, "Her" is modern day retelling of Pygmalion where the protagonist falls in love with the ever evolving OS he bought recently. The protagonist Theodore Twombly is depicted as a sensitive man who can write the most beautiful love letters as a part of his profession but fails to express love or connect to people in real time. The movie starts off with him nursing a broken marriage and slowly progresses to show his loneliness. Although set in the future, unlike movies like minority report this doesn't have people flying around in super-cars or the extended use of the augmented reality anywhere and everywhere. On the contrary, it shows ordinary people living ordinary lives, trying to cope with the ever evolving technology around them and the loneliness which is slowly creeping in.
