“Her” is an extremely moving story that takes the viewer on
an emotional journey. The film follows Theodore Twombly (Joaquin Phoenix), an
impassioned man who struggles with the reality that his marriage has failed. Living
in a world where technology has evolved, he finds himself starting to
communicate with a computer programing system named Samantha (Scarlett
Johansson), designed to help humans with organization. He finds himself confused and having feelings
for this programming device, all the while finally feeling true emotions again.
Directed by Spike Jonze, “Her,” is a true eye-opener. It won many awards such
as “Best Picture from the 2013 L.A. Film Critics Association, Best Production
Design- K.K. Barrett also from the 2013 L.A. Film Critics Association, and Best
Director - Spike Jonze from the 2013 National Board of Review. It also was
nominated for many other awards such as Joaquin Phoenix as best acting in a
motion picture. I would most definitely give this film five out of five
stars. It was drastically funny in a
very interesting way. I really did enjoy the movie; however I wouldn’t
recommend it to young or immature viewers. Clearly, the film was designed for
adults, and it occasionally got very inappropriate.
