Openness and possession of love

Kendall 2021-10-13 13:07:34

A big issue in love is openness and possession. Traditionally, we believe that love must be exclusive and exclusive. This is the sincerity and happiness of love. However, the OS in the cloud can be in love with hundreds or thousands of people at the same time with extremely powerful computing power, and each object feels specificity. Is this a deception? Samantha’s truth is quite the opposite: “The most feared of feelings is selfishness, but people’s hearts are not filled up gradually like a cardboard box. If you love more, the capacity of the heart will become bigger and bigger.” The original monopoly can also be a kind of selfishness.

Of course, the ultimate harm of love is loss and the loneliness that comes with it. But the love between Theodore and Samantha was not wasted, nor was it a tragedy. Compared with the previous marriage, who closed themselves up and kept acting until they collapsed, perhaps it is not easy to be ashamed or concealed in front of OS. Theodore and Samantha have been open and honest and communicated with full candor. Although their love came to an abrupt end, there was not much regret. At the end of the film, it doesn't matter whether he and Amy are together, what's important is that they both understand the essence of opening the heart wall and communicating with heart. The distance between people in this world is too far, and electronic devices and artificial intelligence further block people. We have to bravely raise our heads and gently lean on the shoulders of the really important people.

Her quotes

  • 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?
