How do you share your life with somebody?

Rating: 9/10 (11 June 2014)

Theodore in a bit isolated and stunted by his current social situation (going through divorce). His works as a surrogate writer, creating beautiful emotional letters from and for others, not only accepting but embracing technology as an extension of himself. Our science fiction comes in the form of the world's first artificially intelligent operating system and we have a number of happenings where human imperfection is emotionally trumped by this OS1 with consciousness. This is a unique film that only an emotionally intuitive director and writer such as Spike Jonze knows how to explore. The dialog in "Her" is the plot and action which for many will be its downfall. For this viewer it is the introspection most films can barely hint at. At the heart of this film is spiritual evolution. What is love? What are we attracted to and what do we really want? These are among the many questions you'll be asking yourself throughout the open analysis. This film takes you to a place where many are simply not ready to explore, and that's a shame because despite the lack adrenaline, testosterone and catch phrases, "Her" is a film that I can see watching again and again and again.
