Summary of highlights about "Her"

Man is selfish, he does not allow anyone to love anyone other than him. Does Theodore only love Samantha? He already has his ex-wife. He wanted Samantha to love him alone and to belong to him. Samantha is like a human being, in love with someone, but with many people at the same time. But she was in love with Theodore wholeheartedly. In fact, just like Theodore has a wife, he once loved his ex-wife and now loves Samantha. Is there any difference between falling in love with multiple people at the same time? In terms of lifetime timelines, there is little difference. It's just that he doesn't think so. People will love a lot of people in a lifetime, but some people don't have the opportunity or because of concept issues, they think this is wrong. In reality, there are many people who love many people at the same time, unable to extricate themselves and have no choice. Samantha has no body, is an artificial intelligence, has a fast reaction time, and can be cloned. Each clone is in love with a person, and it is specific and absolute. It just shares a system, just like conjoined people, different minds, love different people, but the body is the same (the essence is still human). In this way, Samantha is more single-minded than people. Is human love single-minded or selfish? All I can say is that love is great.

    We are so lonely, so lonely.

    It’s impossible for this city to rain at the same time, so I especially believe in our encounter

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?
