The Movie HER

Theodore and Samantha (HER) kidding around.

HER was a 5 academy award nominee so it must be good right?

It was directed and produced by Spike Jonez - so, again, it must be good, right? Well, it is a thinker. It is about a lonely guy who falls in love with a microbit that has been programmed with human feelings and emotions... the microchip's name is Samatha - and as their involvement gets more involved with each other things get terrible complicated. Remember, it she is a electronic micro and can carry on a romance with over 4000 people at the same time - as a matter of fact, she was doing just that, but she only had love feelings for slightly over 400 - which my swift electronic computer like mind quickly calculated that she fell in love with about 10% of her workload. HER (Samatha) even arranged for human surrogate female when physical love was called for. It is a movie that keeps you thinking, that is for sure. But, at my age, when I think too much I get sleepy. So, I fell asleep in the middle of it, but finished it off this morning. It starred Joaquin Phoenix and Amy Adams - quick, name me a movie lately that Amy Adams hasn't been in. Scarlett Johansson was Samatha's voice. Not bad.

Theordore and Samatha look at the city's skyline together.
