Synopsis & Insights:
Her is a fascinating artistic work which examines the sociological aspects of rebounding at the crossroads of technology and the heart of love. The provided best activity is one by the name Theodore Twombly beautifully played by Joaquin Phoenix, a heartbroken writer who finds companionship in an automated response system named Samantha, eerily voiced by Scarlett Johansson. Even though we don’t see Johansson’s character, the onscreen chemistry with Phoenix is undeniable and forms the emotional backdrop to the film.
Sometime in the future, Her with the inclusion of these characters faced the fundamental aspects of admiration, solitude and interdependence regarding people. And those are only some of the questions that Johannes, besides treatment of the audience devises the beautiful story oozing emotions and stunning visuals within Her about human interaction in the age of technologies. Sharing a safe space with Adams as Theodore’s bosom friend is Amy seeking relief in the scars of love and other disappointment perhaps when time allows.
This film can be depicted as both a contemplation on the mode of human interactions in the distant future and a striking romantic tale. Its focus on the nexus between dependence on advanced technology and love is chilling and warm at the same time and even more certainly makes her crazed speculative fiction with a very warm core. If you are the kind of person who likes films that you can both enjoy and reflect deeply on, this film is a must.
