Thank you for the link to Spike’s interview. I love what he
says about Joaquin. I am so thankful that he keeps committing to “refuse to
fake it” , he could have settled, do his job, get the pay check, and still have
a good “career,’ but if he did that we wouldn’t be able to enjoy his acting,
which I take as a gift.

I agree. We need to
communicate and we are social animals but we also need time alone. My friend
noticed that in the movie there was a lot of fear. The characters didn’t know
what to do with themselves in their”alone” time. They struggled a lot in their relationships .
I believe because their relationships were fear driven. It’s nice that the film
showed this aspect of being human.
Usually we see the “happy ever after” and then real life is not so
simple !

is in a relation ship with him... And the man has created an ideal lover for
her, who maybe doesn't look so much like him... So they never are going to real
meet because he doesn't want.
But she feels that she is involved in a relation ship and even
she is loyal to him...”
I think he is hiding something , either he’s
married, disabled, or something else. He’s not being honest. But maybe your friend has been “damaged” like
Theodore in the movie, his heart has been badly damaged after the divorce and Samantha
is a safe thing because it’s true it can’t
replace a real human relationship but it also can’t hurt him as much either…

usually we doesn't express everything that we really think in person.
I
personally believe that the internet is great but it can’t replace real life. I
have been experimenting with it and it’s helped me grow to a certain extent but
my conclusion after few years is that it is only good if it is used as a tool
to make our lives easier and to open new possibilities but never as a substitute,
because it can’t even begin to replace the happiness of the real world.

idealize him... and love becomes in a disease!
Then one day, when you recover yourself... and you look at him
without idealism, you discover that your feeling was supported on an
unreallity..
Yes,as a matter of fact, it happened with Joaquin ! it must
happen a lot with actors, they are so accessible, we watch them in movies and
we fall in love not with them but with the characters they play and then we
assume they are, and then we get upset if they aren’t! In a way Joaquin was an OS to me, completely
invisible and because he is an actor accessible to many people, he must be an
OS to many other people at the same time.
What’s crazy about it is that he is playing the other end, when in real
life he’s playing the opposite role, even if he doesn’t want to. I think it’s a
double gift to the fans.
