HER is a great, great movie. Why? It’s simple, it asks important, timeless questions about identity, mind/body, what’s real, love and fate in a way that a modern audience can really consider.
No doubt the photography and vision of the near future and ideas of technology are incredibly compelling and fun. Those are not the types of things that haunt the human experience though. Our experience is always one of disruption and changing culture due to some new found mobility and supposed control that reimagines who we are and how we should be.
No, this movie is much more direct about what it means to be alive and be real and to engage. Samantha (her) is decidedly figuring that out right in front of us. And she does so, while rapidly, convincingly. And just like our children become aware and grow up and leave us right before our eyes so will all things that self actualize. Is the ending really that surprising?
You should see HER not because it will repaint computer interfaces or make us wonder what the future will be like but because it will make you think what the hell it means to be alive period. And if you can figure that out you might be able to dig into the love story and all that… which i believe only becomes relevant once there is something to love. That is, once there are two entities that really are actualized and can connect.
HER is real. and it’s worth every second you spend.
