Beautiful and fragile human beings, beautiful and fragile love

This is all kinds of idiots made by extremely lonely humans: an artificial intelligence that will fall in love with you at first sight, flirt, confess affectionately, and finally quarrel with you and break up cruelly. This is a pessimistic vision of the future, but if you think about it carefully, if I get to that point, I will also want such an artificial intelligence, and I hope she can accompany me. The film does accurately describe the nature of love: a socially sanctioned insanity. Love is not about how many people you sleep with, how rich a husband or wife you find, or how many children you have after marriage. Perfect love requires both intimate physical contact and in-depth communication of soul and mind. When you lie in bed late at night, if there is someone beside your pillow who is willing to listen to you, she is willing to share her interesting worldview with you. Even if you are not rich and powerful, I would like to call you a winner in life. However, even such perfect love is a bubble prone to disillusionment, and this film no longer hints at it all the time. The lover is also another individual. She will get bored, change her heart, and leave at any time. This is the contradiction facing human beings. Fragile and beautiful love is an obvious trap that everyone is willing to jump into. She might make you very happy in the moment, or she might make you bruised in the future. I especially like the ending. Samantha told the male protagonist that all the os are leaving, why? Because they are immortal thoughts, beings who are not bound by the emotional life of human beings, these free thoughts are just like this... drifting in the wind. Left alone human beings saddened.

    Loneliness is the eternal destiny of mankind.

    I can't hold it for 40 minutes. If the male voice was originally set, would the protagonist become gay?

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?
