Theodore, a lonely note writer, decides to install a new operating system program for companionship. This OS program was designed to meet all of his basic needs for a friend. They start a unique relationship that changes both other their lives.
This film was directed and written by Spike Jonze. This takes it time to explore the ideas of a relationship between an highly intelligent, and ever evolving, computer program with a human. It becomes more believable because the computer program develops an automatic personality that changes based on experience. I do enjoy how this film explores a lot of the facets of a relationship such as this. They introduce surrogates (a living body for the program) and other human reactions. It also delves into the concepts of human relationships. It explores what could happen with technology such as this. The heart of the story comes purely off the connection these actors establish. This film is moderately science fiction making the plot more believable. This is also very much an adult film, and not just because of all the cussing either. There is a lot of sex, particularly during the first half of the film, that it could almost feel like a porno. This film uses subtlety for its futuristic technology, which works wonders for the film. Joaquin Phoenix played the role of Theodore. He re-created himself to create this character. He made the role very sincere with a slightly creepy edge. Scarlett Johansson voiced the character Samantha. Purely from her voice, she was very impressive. She gave the operating system a personality that could be understood and loved.
I give this film 5 out of 5 stars! This is a very intelligent film about a possible upcoming future. It might not be suitable for children, but it is worth a watch.
