Okay ladies, thanks for your replies.
In English, we can say 'her' on it's own I think without anything else in the same way we can say 'it' or 'them' or 'him' or 'clock' or 'book' or any other nouns you'd like to choose (even though 'her' is a pronoun, I know). In the case of 'her' it would be understood as something like 'the female' or 'the woman'.
I don't know if Spike intended anything else in the title other than 'her' but if he did, why not 'Her: the operating system'? Haha, well, I guess that's not a very inspiring title for a love story, but you get my drift (I hope). And why not 'It' since Samantha isn't real? Or is that what the story is about too? What makes a 'her' her rather than an 'it'? Or, put another way, what makes an 'it' a 'her'? (or should that be an 'her' like 'an hotel'?) Haha, it all sounds a bit Dr Seuss-like!
Then there's a question kind of thing. "Who do you love?" "Who are you thinking about?" "Who makes you happy?" and so on.. Answer: "Her.
The thought has crossed my mind that it's an acronym, although it's not presented as such. What would that stand for though? Don't think it's that.
I'm not an expert on the english language but when I see the word 'her' in this film's title I just understand it as woman or female. I haven't seen the film yet, but I assume the 'her' is Samantha. But is it? Dun.dun.dunnnn... Haha.
Hope some, if not all of this makes sense.
