A totally new view about Her

Rating: 10/10 (11 September 2018)

Her (2013) is the title given to this touching movie that was written, produced and directed by Adam Spiegel, best known as Spike Jonze. Her is a romantic and dramatic comedy set in an unrevealed future time, but not so distant from the present. The film is endowed with a riveting plot, and portrays a light bright society enhanced by the advancements of technology and the preference for pale-coloured neat garment. Joaquin Phoenix is the leading actor, personifying a Theodore, a letter writer that is going through a hard moment life. His mood has been affected dramatically by this situation, and the dull hours of the day seem to pass away senseless and tasteless . Along the film, the reasons involved behind the actual state of Theodore are slowly revealed and presented as pieces of a puzzle that must be solved by the spectator. Thus, as a result of presenting such a typical situation of the human experience and existence, along the story we get to feel identified with the struggles of the main character.
To put you in the picture, I never imagined how the movie will turn. From my perspective, the topics and themes developed in the movie appeal to the hardest parts of human existence, the struggling for relationships, the boisterous and calm duality of our own mind, the feelings of being isolated with your own thoughts, the incessant search of what is true, what is real, what is living, and so on and so forth. We are capable of identifying a progression in his, in ours, and in hers state of being, And about her, she is as everybody, anybody, anywhere, and nowhere.
