Her

i recently watched the movie her after a strong recommendation from my friend. And to be frank i was blown away. The colours in that film was amazing and the topic which it covered was done so in an interesting way. From the synopsis alone you would think that it follow the journey of hate and exclusion from society which he has to face, but it concentrates on the relationship and emotions between man and ai. Is emotion or a relationship real when a being is sentient? IS it wrong for theodore to love an ai who isn’t human? THe ai however was programmed to replicate humans, why is it any different. The idea of a taxonomy kinda comes into play so i guess thats a way to tie in integrated. Theodore and Samantha changed the meaning of sex in the film. There is no bodily connection or reproduction, but was there. For Theodore and Sam there was some form of body connection whether it be emotional or metaphysical. It changed completely once she brought in a body double. In a way it is strange in that Theodore felt more akin and more loved when there was noone for him to love, but an ideal.
Samantha was an ideal gf to him even though she clearly has a personality that was unique to herself. She was made to take care of and bond with his desires, yet somehow there was still a clash of interest. How could someone be perfect and designed to be your human ideal tank not be your ideal person? The film is just interesting in everything it talks about.
