Movie Review of "Her"

Rating: Null/10 (4 October 2016)

To be completely honest I did not think I was going to enjoy this movie at all after hearing that it was about a man falling in love with a computer system. I thought this idea was so off the wall and that no human would actually ever experience something like that. To my surprise, I actually got hooked on this movie as I was watching it. It was very interesting to be and very believable. Although it was set in the future, this future didn't seem to different from our times or too far fetched. It was a future that seemed very likely for us to get to.The acting was also very good in my opinion. Each actor/actress played their role very well and made the story seem real. ﻿﻿﻿﻿﻿﻿﻿﻿﻿ As far as me not being able to believe someone could fall in love with a computer system, this movie changed my mind. A lot of the time people in human to human relationships struggle because of various reasons like if someone has anxiety, depression, if someone isn't good at showing their emotions, or someone gets angry too quickly, etc. But since the computer system he falls in love with isn't human she is there when he wants to talk and hang out and seems much more easy going than a human. To him it's like she seems almost perfect and exactly what he would look for in a partner. Once he overcomes the nervousness to tell people he's seeing a computer system, he even starts to take her on double dates and people love her. Everything with them changes when she decides to bring another human into the relationship posing as her so that they can have real sex. He's into it when she's turned around and all he can hear is Samantha's voice. But when the new girl turns around and he comes back to reality knowing he isn't actually have sex with Samantha it completely kills the mood and he has to stop which causes a fight between everyone. Personally, I would not be able to have a relationship with a computer system. I'm the kind of person in a relationship who wants my significant other to be there in the flesh holding my hand or sleeping next to me. I couldn't develop a strong bond with someone just hearing them talk in my ear everyday. Some people might be able to handle that, but as for me I would need to feel an actual human next to me. The movie did a very good job at making falling in love and having a relationship with a computer system seem like such an easy and normal thing to do, after watching it you feel like you could fall in love with one too.
