Emotions are energy that cannot be eroded but transferred

I finally saw a good-looking movie in the cinema, and it was not bad to watch it with a beautiful woman.

The background pattern of the movie layout is completely science fiction. I don't know what the world will be in a few decades later, people will put everything in high technology, and the voice function will fill people's lives. Even making calls and checking emails are all voiced. The male protagonist Theodore lives in such an era, and his profession is also related to this new technology. He is a person who writes letters to others by voice.

Theodore, who just separated from his wife, was very sad. By chance, he bought the latest voice operating system, OS. This is an intelligent, humanized operating system. She even named herself Samantha. In the end, Theodore even fell in love with Samantha, the voice operating system. And I found that my friend Amy, who had just broken up with her boyfriend, was also using this software and also fell in love.

The picture of the whole film is very beautiful, with constant high-rise buildings, red lights and green wine, I wish the director would add a few more long shots. The music was always playing in the background, and Samantha's voice seemed to be playing in the background, as if it was mixed with the music and blended perfectly.

Of course, the ending can be guessed. Of course, such an incestuous love will have no good results. In the end, all the OS systems have disappeared, and everything seems to have never happened.

In the end, Samantha also slapped all the prostitutes. This is just an operating system. While she is in love with you, she is also in love with thousands of people. Just like a joke I've seen before, when someone says good night to you, you always think you're the last person to sleep with her, but you don't know that she quietly opened another dialog box, what should I do if I can't sleep?

It feels like Theodore's profession is itself a sarcasm, writing voice letters to people. The letter itself has no feelings, but people give it feelings. Theodore's daily job is to give emotion to different letters and send them to different people who need it. In fact, Samantha's job is the same, packaging emotions and sending them to people like Theodore who lack emotions. Everyone is a tool at best.

The computer itself does not have feelings, all feelings are given by people. In fact, Samantha itself is a mirror, a mirror of Theodore. Her loneliness is the same as his loneliness, and her feelings are the same as his. All their conversations are actually just a disguised monologue of Theodore's heart, a self-dissection of Theodore.

Emotions and energies are the same, they never erode, they just change from one
form . Theodore divorced his wife and transferred his feelings to his wife to Samantha, while Amy broke up with her boyfriend and transferred her feelings to her boyfriend to OS, just like that.

The most touching part is that Theodore listened to the music played by Samantha and danced with Samantha. In fact, he was dancing alone. The feeling of helplessness that cannot be conveyed, and a sense of loneliness spread.

The ending is powerless. Maybe the director didn't know how it ended. At the beginning of the movie I was wondering how it would end, Samantha's departure was inevitable, and what to do with Theodore was a big question. In the end, Theodore and Amy stared at the night view of the whole city from the high-rise building, relying on each other, probably the only people who could rely on each other. Maybe they will pass on feelings that have nowhere to go to each other and find a place to belong? This is impossible to know. They are full of powerlessness when they lean together, as powerless as the city.
