A fantastic movie that is very original and another Oscar worthy performance by Phoenix. I highly recommend this.

"She's not just a computer, she's her own person." Theodore Twombly (Phoenix) is a lonely man who works writing letters for other people. He is going through a divorce and has very few friends. When he hears about a new advanced operating system he decides to give it a try and meets Samantha (Johansson) , his OS. What starts off as a better way to send and receive e-mails soon becomes something much much more and Theodore once again finds love and happiness. I have to begin by saying that I really enjoyed this movie. It was very original and entertaining. I thought Matthew McConaughey was the most deserving of the Best Actor Oscar...until I watched this. Joaquin Phoenix was amazing in this and he basically did it all by himself with only an off screen voice as his supporting cast. All that said the movie also really makes you think about the subject matter and how far off we really are to this technology. I do also have to say that the movie may be a little too good at foreshadowing in the way that human interaction due to the new OS's becomes even worse then it is now. Scenes of people walking by one another without acknowledging another human because they are talking to their OS isn't really that far off from what is happening now. Social commentary aside I did really like this movie and I highly recommend it. Overall, a fantastic movie that is very original and another Oscar worthy performance by Phoenix. I give this an A-.
