This is not only because it chose the weird angle of "The otaku is in love with the computer operating system", but at least the director Spike Jones used a small and refreshing way to "become a scum", very "overpowering" Discussed "everything about love".
Most of the classic romance films, I personally think that they are actually handled like war films. How the protagonists love each other is not the point: a chance encounter will look forward to forever, a look in the eyes promises to die, most of the focus is on the process of overcoming obstacles: "Romeo and Juliet" confronts family grievances, "Roman Holiday" has a class gap, " Brokeback Mountain is a gender barrier. To put it bluntly, after the sexual impulse is the starting point, the next battle is "to be together"-the audience is willing to accept the setting of "love at first sight", and then grabbing their hearts to watch the protagonist fight the monsters and clear the customs all the way.
This kind of romantic movie's weapon to hypnotize the audience is the whole process of the protagonist's determination to "in any case, I want us to be together", what is the end? The touching romance ends with our bravery, and lovers eventually get married; the tear-jerking romance ends with the strength of the enemy, our side is killed and wounded (some are killed in both battles), even though we are defeated. This is not a war movie, what is it?
This is what I like about "Her" and what makes it new. The dialogue in the script is too interesting: Although the film talks about "human-computer abnormal love", Spike cleverly uses the setting of "future world" to dissolve the public's acceptance of this abnormal love. He just used this special angle to study the reasons for the fermentation of pheromones after the body is attracted, and to explore the law of the death of love beyond external resistance. This observation is even more extreme when the person in love is set to a non-physical computer operating system. And pure.
Perhaps in Spike's view, sexual attraction is insurmountable, but it is frustrating. Whether it's the protagonist sneaking a pornographic picture on the subway, or the extremely silly and sad "Cyber-Sex", or the system OS's later attempt to rent a body, the director is explaining this thing: sex is the most primitive human relationship The important, but not so important part, it is the inextricable appendix in the human communication system, and it is also a blinding method that hinders our self-awareness.
After getting rid of the shackles of the body, the essential obstacle to human communication is to bridge the gap of self-consciousness.
Establishing a strong relationship with others depends on communication and compromise, neither of which is easy.
Communication is the most urgent and difficult thing for people. In addition to survival, people rely on communication to solve all spiritual problems such as loneliness and fear. When I was young, I cried when I was hungry, and yelled when I was afraid. In puberty, hormones were strong, and I was anxious to confess "like". These were all direct enough, but lacked skill. People think that as they grow older and become more proficient in their skills, communication problems will be easily solved. But on the contrary, the more you modify the precision of the expression, the more you deviate from the purpose of the expression; the more familiar you are, the more you will doubt the sincerity of your expression, and of course, you will also doubt the other party's.
In the film "Her", as a mail agency writer, Theodore, played by Jacques Phoenix, is good at "transmitting" emotions, but as a result, he falls into a greater barrier of expression. Since he is better at creating false lyricism than others, in the real world, there is less window for expressing true emotions. That’s why Theodore can successfully flirt with the pick-up girl at the table. That’s a skill, but he gets lost in a sincere question. That’s the essence-it’s easy for a kind adult to tell lies, but it’s hard to tell the truth. It's even harder to say what you want.
The cost of adult communication is very high. Sometimes it has nothing to do with courage and sincerity, but because everyone lives in their own world. I like that Amy played by Amy Adams in the movie has the courage to show her husband and Theodore a documentary that she shot. She is full of expectations but they don't understand why. The embarrassment of "you think you know me but don't know me" really makes any word of Theodore's relief and Amy's husband's advice seem stupid and redundant.
Everyone has a strong desire to express. In fact, others don’t care. If you doubt this conclusion, think about it on the other hand. When we talk to others, how often we are perfunctory, pretending that we are very concerned, even With exaggerated expressions, sincere suggestions are given, in fact, it is not at all in my heart. When the OS system performs basic tests for Theodore, it is the normal inner game of human interactions that the indifferent interruption does not wait for Theodore to finish lyrical.
Since the most perfect intimacy is the product of adultery, it is not surprising that Theodore will like the operating system OS. Suddenly there is such an "it" in this world, which is exclusive, private, and loyal, at least at the beginning Yes. You can let go of your defenses and expose yourself to fragility, loneliness and hesitation without burden, and this "it" understands your emotions so intelligently, comforting you, encouraging you, satisfying you appropriately, and more than "it" Can you release your desire to talk and feel safe and warm "soul mate"?
Communication brings a sense of security, pleasure, and a sense of being needed, which is the starting point of all beautiful emotions.
Unfortunately, the demise of intimacy is much easier than establishing.
Because the more you want to communicate, the more you can't communicate, and you can only send a compromise in life.
It takes a lot of hard work to establish trust in communication, but it will instantly dissolve as problems arise in communication at any time. Because essentially, the more you communicate, the greater the difference you will find. To maintain a long-term and stable relationship between two equal individuals is like a gear bite. The tighter the bite means the more compromises. The bottom line of this sacrifice depends on their respective moods. To be together because of the hope of understanding, and to leave because of too much understanding, for those who care too much about independent personality, love can only be a Buddhist niche that is carefully enshrined.
Whether it’s Amy or Theodore, their role in the failed marriage in the film proves this. At the beginning, the rhythm is the same, and at the end, nothing can be said. What the two people learned in the marriage relationship with their respective partners Things and places to go are not equal. The irony is that the OS operating system that Theodore has high hopes for is faster to learn and to abandon faster, more than 2,000 relationships, more than 600 close lovers, mastering interpersonal relationships and naked is an unequal intellectual game.
OS is really an innocent big bitch. Her only strength is her honesty in communication, the honesty that made Theodore feel at ease at first, but the cruelty she couldn't look at in the end. Isn't this the truth you want? When a computer has an independent personality of a person, it should be obvious to get rid of human beings with its learning ability.
"Her" with the theme of human-computer love is very reminiscent of the story in "Black Mirror", but both of them clearly reflect the gap between TV and movies, whether they are dramas or expressions.
"Black Mirror" designed an ingenious story, eager to convey the intention of the screenwriter, and the emergence of virtual functions on the Internet has accelerated and intensified human rejection of communication and the fear of loneliness. But the crux of the problem is that the loneliness of human beings is not brought about by the Internet or any new technology. It has never disappeared and cannot be cured. "Her" does not try to be alarmist, but spends a lot of energy to create atmosphere and convey emotions. The film's image style is colorful and light, and it is lively and deserted. The smog above the magic city is always the sky with PM2.5 exceeding the standard. Make the sum!
"Her" does not deliberately pursue the cause of the problem, nor does it propose a solution to the problem, but it is much deeper and deeper than "Black Mirror". "Black Mirror" analyzes society by reason, and "Her" explores itself by perceptuality. Some people may say that the mood of the film is too personal and lack of restraint, but you don't pretend to be, who will help you pretend to be? If it’s not delicate enough, you won’t be able to touch such subjects. "Small Freshness" is nothing. The question is whether you have achieved "Small Freshness" to the extreme. Spike Jones has blocked the way for many people and can help Uncle Kunphoenix is all fresh and fresh, and others should look for him seriously, profoundly and absurdly.
For "Her", I am just not satisfied with its ending. The director seems to have spread a huge net, but I don't know where to get it. I talked about a lot of propositions, and each proposition branched out on its own: the relationship between mind and body. How do people get along with themselves and get along with society? A sense of belonging in the human emotional world? But there is nothing to blame. I have drooled so much here, and I don't know how to end it: "Human emotions" are such a grand question. It is good to be able to express the problem vividly. To give an answer is purely extravagant hope. So just like the end of the movie, hastily create a little warmth and relieve a little sadness.
This feeling is like having a very frank conversation with someone, but not knowing how to end it.
Finally, I had to say: You see it’s cold, let’s go back to the house and sleep.
