Movies like "her" remind me of why I'm pursuing a career in film.

Rating: 10/10 (18 January 2017)

I'm so in love with this movie. If I could, I'd walk straight into the world of "her" and hug all of the characters. The fact that a high concept script such as this one made it to the academy awards gives me a great sense of hope for the future of the movie industry. 3 minutes into this movie and I can already tell that I am a part of something special. THAT'S WHAT MOVIES SHOULD BE ALL ABOUT. "her" takes you into a whole new world, one that no one has quite thought of before. Yes, the thought of artificial intelligence has popped up in cinema a few times, but not quite like this. "her" incredibly blurs the line between machine and human. You almost feel like the OS is human. The jokes that it makes, the art that it creates and how it runs away to pursue it's own needs and desires. Who would've thought that after spending years and years advancing technology that it would just want to grow into something special in of itself? Spike Jonze, apparently. And congrats to him on winning an academy award! Spike, I am a film student at Olympic College. I would love to get my hands on a copy of your screenplay "her" for academic purposes, of course. I love the work that you've done throughout the years and I can't wait to see what you create in the future! - Curtis
