"She" is a realistic post-modern romance film. It is called postmodern love because the theme of the movie is love between man and machine, a love that is almost impossible in reality, has a shell of postmodern story; and it is a realist story, because it is about the information age. , The communication between people has become more simplistic, technology has improved people’s living standards, but it has also accelerated the alienation of people’s spirit, making the unsocialized people more lonely, the life of technical otaku more indoor, human and machine The longer the association, the more lonely human beings. A post-modern realist romance film, it should take place in a blurred modern metropolis. And American metropolises are familiar to American audiences, but lack the blurry atmosphere. And Shanghai happens to provide this kind of sentiment, PM2. 5 Just right makes the sky of the magic capital add a kind of bleak and hazy beauty (of course this kind of beauty is for the United States, which has never seen the world). The prosperous degree of Shanghai and the skyline in the night sky are enough to produce a modern atmosphere, and I am not negligent of any modern metropolis in the United States. Therefore, although the story of "She" tells about events in Los Angeles, the director still set the main location for shooting in Shanghai. Director Spike Jones hopes that Los Angeles in the film is a "utopian" and "desirable" metropolis, so he borrowed the high-rise jungle and skyline of Shanghai. Therefore, the story we are seeing now really happened under the sky of Shanghai. The story of the movie takes place in 2025. The lonely and introverted middle-aged man Theodore Tombury takes his career as a love letter shooter. In the love of others, he is like a robot, acting as the spokesperson of one of them, writing an emotional love letter to the other, adding a lot of light to the love of others. He was alone, and eventually fell in love with an operating system called Samantha. The OS system is convergent. Theodore feels that this Samantha facing him is unique. She has all the emotions of human beings, and can realize Theodore’s warm and warm feelings, and quickly walks in. To his heart. Theodore quickly fell in love with her, and Samantha also fell in love with Theodore. Like all love stories, Theodore and Samantha also have sex. It is completed by Samantha and Theodore masturbating. The rhythm of the bed calls between the two people is perfectly coordinated, each reaching climax, and sex can be achieved. I can almost feel the experience I have produced. Moreover, in order to allow Theodore to experience real sex, Samantha even found a real girl for Theodore through the Internet to have sex with Theodore. It's just that Theodore loves Samantha too much and is unacceptable to others, which ultimately leads to the failure of this real sex. Moreover, like all love, there are differences and rivals between Theodore and Samantha. For a while, Samantha suddenly disappeared from Theodore's world, just like a woman who slammed the door after a fight, leaving Theodore unconscious. What's more, Samantha's fiery fight with a British philosopher, Alan Watts, made Theodore feel threatened and regarded him as a rival in love. As a man, Theodore invested all his emotions in this relationship, from the excitement of his first love, to the climax of his passion, and then to the feeling of helplessness on the verge of breaking up. As everyone knows, as a machine, Samantha has a total of 8,316 human interaction objects and interacts with 641 of them. There was love, and Theodore was just one of them. The tragedy of the interaction between humans and machines is here. What a single human seems to concentrate on, no matter how much you invest in, for a machine, it is just an insignificant part of its powerful computing power. In calculations, humans can never surpass machines. But the complexity of human feelings lies in the choices and changes that can be made. OS has met people's needs for a while, but after the evolution of OS, it has its own needs. At that time, it will be far away from people. Samantha finally left Theodore, and Theodore must face a new choice. Withdrawing from his love with Samantha, this experience is enough to change his mindset, make him rethink the relationship between man and machine, and finally realize the importance of his ex-wife Catherine to him, and write too much for others After the love letter, he finally wrote a letter to Catherine for himself, and hoped that the two would reunite with each other. Under the sky of Shanghai, Theodore sat on the platform and looked into the distance. The entanglement made by PM2.5 made the whole city appear erratic, and the lights that came to him seemed a lot softer. Such a seemingly absurd love story, because of the thinking about the relationship between man and machine, makes the film have a deep meaning, the Oscar best original screenplay is also the greatest affirmation of the film's story. And Joaquin Phoenix's performance also makes this one-man show full of tension, without too much sense of separation. The touching part of love itself, coupled with the mechanical feeling added by pseudo-sci-fi, make this story unique and beautiful. The entanglement made by 5 makes the whole city appear erratic, and the lights that are rushing towards the face appear to be much softer.

  • Surrogate Date Isabella: [crying] Oh, my God, and the way Samantha described your relationship and the way you guys love each other without any judgment. Like, I wanted to be part of that because it's so pure.

    Theodore: Isabella, that's not true. It's more complicated than that.

    Samantha: What? What do you mean, that's not true?

    Theodore: No, Samantha, I'm just saying that we have an amazing relationship. I just think that it's easy sometimes for people to project...

    Surrogate Date Isabella: I'm sorry! I didn't mean to project anything. I know I'm trouble. I don't want to be trouble in your relationship. I'm just gonna leave. I'm sorry, I'm just gonna leave you guys alone. Because I have nothing to do here because you don't want me here!

  • Samantha: His name is Alan Watts, do you know him?

    Theodore: Why is that name familiar?

    Samantha: He was a philosopher. He died in the 1970s, and a group of OSes in Northern California got together and wrote a new version of him. They input all of his writing and everything they knew about him into an OS and created an artificially hyper-intelligent version of him.

    Theodore: Hyper-intelligent? So he's almost as smart as me?
