Well, it was yesterday in the evening that I finally watched Her by Spike Jonze. It was such a long time I wanted to watch that movie because Ive generally a good opinion about the filmmaker Spike Jonze (I found that Being John Malkovich was a great great movie) and because of Joaquin Phoenix, who Im used to consider like one of the best Hollywoods actor nowadays. On the other hand, I also was moved by the many discussion and opinion read about this movie since it was firstly on the cinema in the United States. Well, because I was sure that in the end I wasnt going to watch it to the cinema, I watched it at home on my laptop and, now that I did it, I regret this kind of choice and of vision, because of it seems that the scenes were really spectacular and in my opinion the mostly interesting thing of the movie. Oh no, Im not criticizing it, Im not saying that Her was finally a bad movie, but I must also admint that I didnt find it so brilliant like it was expected to be reading and listening to the general critics you could easily find on the internet or reading some magazines. Of course, the plot was original and the story was fascinating, carefully sweet and deeping emotional and touching and ok probably the Oscar was right, was a right prize for a good movie. But well Im not making of this movie my own cult. This is because probably I wasnt emotionally so affected by the story of the main character of the movie; I also identify myself with him... but the me I found in Theodore, well, he was someone who now belong to the past. And Im really happy, really satisfied for this. No, Im not so cynic like it could seem. Mine is not cynism, I just reconsidered in the end what it really does mean for me being in love with someone, loving and be loved by someone and generally what it really does mean life. I had been in love, in the past, with a girl for really really many years. I really loved her, I did everything was in my possibilities to finally win her heart and probably she also loved me. But we, expecially her, we had really a bad approuch with life and we also had, both of us, no much self-confidence and we also were not so rarely being in trouble with ourselves. We loved two times. The first time I was a guy, I was a boy and I strongly was believing that love could radically change my life. I was an ideal, an ideal like every young man should be (in my opinion) and, when she left me, I went on a crisis really really similar like the one Theodore had to manage in the movie. I also lived, and now Im not shy about discussing about this thing like I was in the past, some experiences which were not so different like the one Theodore lived in the movie. Why we have to consider that Her was talking us about the future? Im arguing this because the future is now. How many people, every day, are falling in love, holding a deeply strong relationship with people that theyve never met in their life? Im sure that this is something which is happening every day to dozens, hundreds, thousands of people everyday all around the world. The future is now, because in this kind of relationship theres no difference if the other one is a computer, a software or a social network or a real person. Its the same. Not at all, its the same also in relationship which are generally considered like they were normal. Many people are staying together but, at the same time, theyre not living their life completely and, well, I was saying before that in a certain sense Im not considering anymore myself an ideal, but Im sure that if the love does it really exist, well, the only kind of love possible is the love for ourselves and, in this sense, the love for life in general. So, in the end, staying together with someone, really loving someone is something that had necessarly to be concrete and that we should live everyday in the most possibile intensive way. This is why we need courage to love someone, to get a relationship. We need courage because we need to choose to live our life. The second time I loved the girl I was talking before, when we split up, in a certain sense, I was finally a man. I loved her, but I firstly decided that I finally loved to live my life and that she wasnt going to do the same. She was the kind of woman who decided to live in a place to not stay in another. I dont know if this expression does really describe what I mean. Well, what else? I found Amy Adams in the movie was great. I also appreciate her in The Master and in The Fighter (not so much in American Hustle, where she was in my opinion obscurated by the great interpretation offered by Jennifer Lawrence), but probably Amy (the character has her same name) has been her best character and interpretation since she made her debut
