You know what? There are so many spoofs on this film that I'm worried I'll be 'full up' by the time I get to see the real thing. 



Oh, Admin....here, this is for your exasperation.

Well, I was trying to talk about the meaning of the movie but nobody replied to me :(
It's easier for the media to make parodies than to ask meaningful questions to their audience. Who wants to stop and thinki about their lives ? It's too inconvenient , sadly for most people. But as Joaquin, I like to keep positive about the future !

Great too. Imagine if the voice over becomes monotonous, the movie fails. There were a lot of risks taken !
Jeez, I would like to talk about the relationship side of the movie but it's not easy. I think it's obvious that the movie hints that sometimes ppl look for partners to fill a void, and how do they tell the story to themselves is what makes a difference.

Personally, I'm thinking what is real love ? is it having a lot of feelings all at once or is it loving someone for who they are ?

Hi Sami,

I haven't seen this film yet so I'm not up for discussing its deeper messages, etc. I spend a lot of my life thinking about my life, thank you, and my role in the wider scheme of things as it applies to me. I also have a job which requires and invites me to ponder these things now and then. Not to mention various other things which require deeper mental activity and pro-active activism. However, I don't view this forum as a place for me to discuss all of this. For me, being light-hearted and having a bit of fun, laughing, is a great way to relieve the stresses of life. If, when I've seen the film, I want to discuss my thoughts about its themes and so on, then I will. Until then I'm taking a cue from Joaquin and just chillin' - something I think he also likes to do and actually is rather adept at. 

Don't mind me - if anyone wants to discuss what Sami wants to discuss, then go ahead and if you don't like the light-hearted stuff, well, tough. 


Have we had this one posted yet? I'm kind of losing track.

Hi Kitten. That's great you got to see the film a couple of times. I'll probably get to see it more than once too. Looking forward to it.

Hi Sami,

Where about's in the U.K. do you have family!?

Regarding the relationships in the movie Her, i thought they were pretty relatable, especially his relationship with his ex-wife (the good times and the break-up part also) and even the date with Olivia Wilde's character. Most people who have seen the film seem to be able to related to it. Ultimately it's about loneliness i guess... on a planet of 7billion people, we all are pretty lonely it would seem... soul wise anyway.

In conclusion, i no expert on this area. I don't know much about emotions and feelings... because i'm male, so wasn't born with any!

Brought this to mind..

Plato

In his dialogue The Symposium, Plato has Aristophanes present a story about soul mates. Aristophanes states that humans originally had four arms, four legs, and a single head made of two faces. He continues that there were three genders: man, woman and the "Androgynous". Each with two sets of genitalia with the Androgynous having both male and female genitalia. The men were children of the sun, the women were children of the earth and the Androgynous were children of the moon, which was born of the sun and earth. It is said that humans had great strength at the time and threatened to conquer the gods. The gods were then faced with the prospect of destroying the humans with lightning as they had done with the Titans but then they would lose the tributes given to the gods by humans. Zeusdeveloped a creative solution by splitting humans in half as punishment for humanity's pride and doubling the number of humans who would give tribute to the gods. These split humans were in utter misery to the point where they would not eat and would perish so Apollohad sewn them up and reconstituted their bodies with the navel being the only remnant harkening back to their original form. Each human would then only have one set of genitalia and would forever long for his/her other half; the other half of his/her soul. It is said that when the two find each other, there is an unspoken understanding of one another, that they feel unified and would lie with each other in unity and would know no greater joy than that.[3]

Oh, I thought that was because you were a sociopath. Oh no, wait, that's me.

Sounds good Joy.  I don’t want to be a burden to you.


Thank you for sharing the video, it’s a very nice watch!!

Oh , and thanks for bringing the quote. I like mythology . I don’t think I believe in soulmates anymore.. it’s a fairy tale !!

Hi Kitten, nice to hear from you. I love it too !


What is your favorite part of the movie if there is one?

Admin, that’s beautiful. You see? You do have feelings !   


I haven’t had a very long
relationship yet, so I’m not an expert either,  but I  think
lifecan be scary and that living it with a partner must make the hard parts much
easier to get through.   Having someone to lean on is a luxury . I think human beings, in general, we take too many things for granted . If we stopped to think about it, we would realise how lucky we are and we would be much happier !

Oh no, i always End up talking about myself , lol .. I just wanted to comment on some comments that some critics have made about this movie saying that this is not a movie about real relationships . I think they are missing the point. To me, it's about how ppl trick themselves into thinking they are in something real when it's not. It doesn't make any difference whether its a computer or a person, it never ends well. The movie talks about these kinds of relationships. See how Theodore has a gut feeling at the beginning but he doesn't fOllow it . Some critics are so square . I can almost see them sitting on their desks with all their self-rightiousness : "this is right and this wrong ! "Good bye !!

I agree with you, and I'll add... None is able to know the nature of the human feeling in love, because this is something very close... I really wish to watch the movie soon to talk with much more property... I go people... to study

Also, it's funny because Theodore says he is in love with Samantha but she doesn't exist ! So can he be in love with her? I think he confuses the fact that "she" or "it"  fulfills his needs with being in love with "her." I send you my best wishes for your exam ! When is it?

The part where Samantha and Theodore have sex is so good.When they have a build up and an orgasm together and then we see images of the sky afterwards.. it feels so natural in a way. It doesn't seem creepy at all, if you think about it, he's having sex with a computer !! It was all based on sound not image, which was pretty amazing. It's something you don't see often in film  The chat room scene is hilarious

We all use technology to escape from our lives. But sometimes you need to see a film about a man having sex with his phone for it to really hit home

You're not a burden to me, Sami. 

I do believe in soulmates as it happens, but not the fairytale kind (and not necessarily as Plato would have the soulmates' genesis either).

That's a good article. Admin. I like how she imagines how different people will view the film.

Haha, yes, Kitten. It's got no animal products in it too. 

Anyway, it's good to see you. How are you my dear? Is it warm enough for the beach in your neck of the woods?
