Her is the new film from Spike Jonze starring Joaquin Phoenix and Scarlett Johansson. Its the one about the guy who falls in love with his phone. I think a lot of the (well-deserved) buzz surrounding the film grows out of the shocking fact that it’s great. When we first heard the premise, we all thought, “This sounds weird and gross.” And that first movie trailer both reinforced and undercut our skepticism. The credit goes to Jonze and Phoenix who make poor, awkward Theodore Twombly into such a believable character. He’s just sad enough, just lonely enough and just hopeful enough that we believe he could develop a romance with Samantha (Johansson), his new artificially intelligent operating system. But Her also works because it’s (surprisingly) such a basically human film. Her is ultimately a celebration of our bodies in all their awkwardness and inconvenience. -From Her Asks If Our Bodies Actually Matter | [Movie Review] by JR. Forasteros buff.ly/1dXB1RH
