Human connection

Rating: 10/10 (5 March 2014)

Even after I've finished watching it, I wasn't sure whether I liked it or not, it is just completely out of the ordinary and leaves me with a strange feeling. Now that the impressions have settled, I believe it is one of the finest and warmest films I've seen.
At first, I thought how this cannot possibly be good, since the operating system the film has presented is completely out of touch with reality, no artificial intelligence is so advanced and it is so hard to believe it ever will be, but I don't want to look at the story just thinking how it depicts the modern technology today or in some near future and how it affects us, because I think of Samantha as a character with a little over exaggerated characteristics, maybe even a caricature.
What I find interesting is how everyone thought it was completely normal to date an OS. And the girl who voluntarily wanted to be a part of their relationship only suggests that no matter the circumstances, no matter how estranged the technology makes us, the human need to connect always remains. And everyone is in it together, they don't judge each other.
Every scene was amazing, Theodore's style only adds another reason to love this film. And I think Joaquin Phoenix fits pretty nicely, his performance makes his relationship to Samantha feel credible. He gives off the impression of a really sweet and sensitive person.
