new religion?

Rating: 8/10 (10 January 2014)

another film in line w a couple recent films that i mentioned in the llewyn davis review, along w the film gravity and now "her", very 21st century in technique and/or theme.
"her" speaks to the as of yet unawareness of the increasing effect of technology on "reality" philosophy, ontology, religion? which is headquartered not in mecca, jerusalem, rome or the Himalayas, but in palo alto.
perhaps a reason we haven't become aware is the saturation and speed at which we consume. this is why cauron, spike jonez, etc. exist
i was wondering what happened to the intelligentsia. the new age gurus, leary, r.a.Wilson, alan watts. some filmmakers are beginning to slow their internal clock down enough and our new world is slowly making it's way into the arts.
the film made me wonder what will become of the tech have nots. the gulf between them and the exponentially savvy is creating virtual different species.
"her" deals w the physics subject a bit and made me think that w all the cameras we all use and the constant surveillance of reality, it's like a massive quantum mechanics experiment. observation messing w space time.
this film is speaking to a changing physics and reality that we may be faced with sooner than we think. the future is here, it ain't flying cars but more science fact, which it turns out is way cooler and deeper than science fiction.
turns out this spike can be to this decade what the other spike was to the 90's. i hope so anyway
