so much to think about after seeing “her”. altho it’s not a flawless film (the script is less than dazzling and the overall tone of the film is a bit too schmaltzy), it touches upon and gently investigates extremely important questions. what does it mean to be human? in a world of texting and email, what do we mean by social connectedness? at a time of fb networks, how do we conceptualize the idea of a friend? in a future where siri will acquire complex, individualistic traits, what will we expect from traditional tropes such as love and intimacy? many parameters of human psychology are changing rapidly and it’s critical for us to understand and incorporate those changes into existing norms and behavior patterns, into the institutions that govern our society. the film is not a cautionary tale but a disinterested peek into a future that seems to be already here.
