the premise for her sounded so fascinating
and i really hoped it wouldn't let me down and i can say with complete honesty
that it did not let me down her is brilliant this film was released
in 2013 and i only saw it for the first time this year
i don't know why it took me so long but i'm i'm kind of glad i waited
because i think i was in the perfect mind frame to really enjoy this
and it was directed and written by spike jones johnson
and stars walk in phoenix as theodore and chris pratt's in it rooney
mara is in it kristen wiig and amy adams who is one of my favorite
actresses and also scarlett johansson as the
voice of samantha who is the computer and for the most part we only have two
characters on the screen most for the most part and
that's samantha who is a computer and
theodore played by walking phoenix and the film description from imdb
is as follows in the near future a lonely writer develops an unlikely
relationship with an operating system designed to meet his every need
so as it says it is the near future this is something we can expect to happen
pretty soon and to be honest with the likes of alexa and cortana
and whatever the other ones called it it feels like this could happen soon
and theodore is a writer of like greeting card
messages and you know he he hasn't been in a relationship in a while
now he's starting to feel very lonely and he gets this new operating system
installed and this os is his one is called samantha and she's
meant to be able to well she can you know check all of his
emails tell him when an appointment's due it's very much like having a
personal assistant that is your computer and it knows
everything about your computer and i can access everything and the more he
talks to her the more he kind of develops this relationship with her
and then things get sexual and that sounds disturbing but
actually when you watch it it's really beautiful and that sounds
weird coming out of my mouth but when you watch it you'll know what i mean
it's actually a really emotional really heartbreaking story
actually is you watch this man fall in love with this machine
and obviously you know they can never get married or
have kids or anything like that and there's a question about what the future
will hold and what's going to happen with this
relationship and just how far will it go samantha begins to change because she's
first of all an emotionless computer but she begins to develop more
human-like characteristics i guess and it's a brilliant premise as i said
and it really needed to be executed well for
this to work and that's exactly what happened it
worked so well it took all of the boxes for me
and more i i think theodore was a really like likable character scarlett
johansson's voice is someone that was perfect i thought the voice for that
computer i don't know what i expected it to sound
like but when i heard samantha that is exactly what i needed it to sound like
so that for me was brilliant this film hasn't i'm sorry if
you can hear my cat scratching to get into the room i'll
let her in in a second this film has an 8 out of 10
on imdb which is a pretty phenomenal score
and honestly i would give it 4.5 out of 5. i
would happily watch it again love to see a sequel i'd love to see
various remakes of this in years to come once we kind of work out technology
again that sentence made no sense but it's a
brilliant film it's one of those films that everybody has to watch i think
everybody could enjoy it it can appeal to everybody
regardless of the genre that you enjoy if you haven't seen her i can say with
confidence that i think you should make it the next film
that you watch
