Quicky Review: Her

        A thought provoking date movie. Filled with love, letters, physics and technology. We follow the life of Theodore Twombly played by Joaquin Phoenix who is a lonely man whose occupation it s to write personalized hallmark cards. Theodore's life seems very content and humdrum, with only is divorce ruffling its flow. Until he purchases a new OS system complete with a lovely AI named Samantha who is voiced by Scarlett Johansson. Samantha is very lively and fun, she imitates a child who is only just beginning to discover the world, but of course is a tad bit more adult. And when I say a tad I mean that the second scene things get weird.

       The music is well incorporated into the movie and sets a very wondrous tone which really changes for each character and their separate plot lines. Plus Samantha's singing is very calming and rustic, its sadly for only on scene.
         Okay, so, I can't really go into to much detail or I feel like that I would be ruining the subtleties of this film. Overall it was enjoyable, something I suggest seeing with a significant other. The story itself is very provocative and really probes your mind at times. Really addressing how people are becoming more and more connected to there devices and what would happen if we were given an AI device that truly interacted with us. Well, I thought that it would solve overpopulation, but I guess thats not what Spike Jonze was going for. Her is funny and light hearted, slipping in a few puns which was excellent. Plus the attention to detail how we see a slow growth of people becoming aquanited with these devices and eventually only seeing them. In the end we see only a few elderly people not using the system. Although there are a few holes in the story, they can be easily overlooked. Only the last bit with Olivia Wilde's scene is a little confusing. But I say you better hit the Theater this weekend and see this film.

This little CPU is hilarious!
