Just watched ‘Her’ and, since this is not exactly a new film, I don’t know why I bother writing a review, but talking about my day proofreading a document about the legal agreement between a shopping mall and its tenants, down to the size of light bulbs the shopkeepers are allowed to have, would make for kind of a dull blog.
It had a couple of psuedo-sexy scenes but it is the story of a guy who falls in love with an operating system, and it sort of makes him out to bad as sad a human being as you’d think, but through the film you hear of a couple other people having relationships with their computers and you wonder if its going to be like ‘Invasion of the Body Snatchers’ and everybody in the world links up, but in the end it’s nothing as dramatic as all that.
If you want a movie with lots of action and tension, this wasn’t it, but it was actually a deep and thoughtful investigation of what it will be long as computers become more intelligent, and can talk to us as equal individuals.
