movie review - Her
the journal of Michael Werneburg
twenty-eight years and a million words
Toronto, 2014.05.07
This is a science fiction film about a fellow who falls in love with a synthetic intelligent that's partially resident in his "phone". As the story unfolds, it's clear that "her" completely eclipses him, and in fact that she's at any time involved in unlimited conversations and has fallen in love with several (several!) others. What I liked about this is that rather than get distracted by what the AI's are up to - they eventually decide to leave Earth - they keep the story focused on the relationship as the human struggles to get his head/heart around what's happening.
Recommended.
