A MOVIE REVIEW: HER by Spike Jonze

Have you ever thought about falling in love with your computer?

As weird as it seems it wasn’t that tough for Theodore Twombly. This protagonist from the movie “HER” struggled from falling out of a long standing relationship as a result he finds himself on a romantic relationship with an A.I on his computer named Samantha.

“Her” is a romantic Sci-Fi which keeps you thinking about the possibilities of technology and the boundaries of the heart. The movie also conveys how people engage through life’s problems. For the most part I found myself pondering how and what I would do if I was in the same scenario.

The voice acting by Scarlett Johansson was top notch while watching you’d surprisingly get a feel that her voice fit her character so well. Watching this movie with my girlfriend was very fun we would pause the movie every time our minds wander through a lot of questions and feelings.

It was very captivating every step of the way even as the credit where rolling we still debated on what was the true meaning of every scene in the movie. “HER” had a mix of a refreshing drama that differs from love stories today. It contained a lot of messages about the human heart.

I recommend you to watch this movie if you want some brain juice pumpin’ back on the old noggin and a mellow experience of love from a desktop.

Have a great day! :)
