Her (film critique) By Cesar Reyes Torres

Think about the person you romantically love or have loved the most in your life.Think about the moment when you were most in love with them and how happy they made you. Think about the moment when you were the most upset, as a result of something they did. Think of every dinamic of your relationship with them, the friends you've made together, tears you've shed together, laughs you've created for each other....Now imagine that this person is not a person at all, but instead they are an OS/ App on your phone and or computer. That is pretty much how the movie "Her" comes across. It kind of makes you ask your self, "what makes us human?". This movie fascinated me because it showed a very plausible look into a future that doesn't seem that far away. It was also creepy that the relationship that Theodore (Joaquin Phoenix) had with his OS/App seemed perfectly normal. That is a normality that seems insane but that may become the norm someday. Go see this movie, it's sweet, funny, enjoyable, and a movie that is like food for the intellectually curiouse and open minded.
