'Her' shared a romantic and funny love story in a modern life. Joaqin Phoenix’s performance as Theodore was great. We could feel his sadness, joy, and we feel happy for him when he fell in love with Samantha.
One thing I love is the way Spike Jonze presents the movie. It looks like a classic picture perfect of the near future world, but still seems futuristic. Vintage and modern at the same time. I love how he portrays the world in this movie.
The other thing I love it the film score. It’s truly wonderful. For me, it’s like the soundtrack of our life, of when we fall in love, and when we lost someone. It sounds like the right soundtrack when we’re questioning our decision and thinking what is the right thing to do. And the original song, “The Moon Song” sang by Scarlett Johansson as Samantha is just beautiful. Well, I love ScarJo’s voice. I think hers is sexy.
Anyway, after watching this movie and after an old discussion with friend long before this movie even created, I think it’s possible for us to love an Artificial Intelligence in the future. They won’t sound like a robot, an A.I will definitely impersonating human, but in the end, they are human’s creation. A computer, you may say. So, there will always be a distinction. But it is always beautiful to see a man in love, like Theodore, even if his subject of love is an operating system.
'Her' was nominated for five Academy Awards, including Best Original Song, Best Original Score, Best Production Design, Best Writing in Original Screenplay, and Best Picture.
"The heart is not like a box that gets filled up; it expands in size the more you love. I’m different from you. This doesn’t make me love you any less. It actually makes me love even more."
