Poetry is the first feeling that this movie gave me, the time and place to be diluted, there is only a lonely person, and everything that is no longer predictable. You just need to give yourself to this movie, it will bring you the emotion of falling into it involuntarily, sad but not sad. In those nights, the big floor-to-ceiling windows, the tall buildings outside, the shadows of lights, a lazy or sly wounded person, a big white bed, it is a kind of sadness and loneliness that belongs only to the modern (although it means the future). I can seem to see Spike Jones, the director and screenwriter, typing on the keyboard on a night like Theodore’s. As a result, the script of "She" has been revised and revised, and it has gradually become a love poem.
Theodore's existence is a combination of multiple roles. The multiple characteristics of this role give him multiple thematic functions.
He is a human being in the future. He has to face the world around him where technology can touch the deep emotions, and he has to face the unprecedented experience that such a world may bring to him. In front of the operating system, he represents human beings, interrogating each other with technology, creating a space for reflection. We often reflect on whether technology makes people more intimate or alienated. This movie allows Theodore to go to the extreme of the opposite, fall in love with the operating system directly, transcend the original judgment of right and wrong, and let technology and human nature directly meet. This setting, with a little absurdity, freely explores the issues reflected by this possibility, but is not entangled in judgments.
At the same time, he is a bachelor, facing his wife who is about to leave, facing the temptation of a woman, facing his inner loneliness and lust, depressed. In many cases, if you want to stabilize your heart, the best way is to find someone you love, with all your heart, no distracting thoughts, no other intentions for flowers and plants. Single, this disgusting ancient problem, whether you disdain it or not, the biggest sadness that accompanies it is the inability to care and share. As a result, in an unpredictable world, lost and wandering.
He is also a person who deals with words, and he is good at organizing words into trivial touches. This advantage allows him more freedom to have in-depth mutual feelings with Samantha. And extended another layer of hidden meaning of the film, whether it is between people and people, or between people and machines, the connection of emotions may not rely on communication, but the deep resonance of emotions must be produced by communication. In many cases, the machine engulfed our emotions, causing us to inadvertently neglect the people around us. Sometimes, the machine engulfed the people around us, making us feel that the people around us have been alienated, and the same is true between people. When we complain about each other's distance, we ignore how long we have not let each other into our hearts.
And all of these actually fulfilled Joaquin Phoenix's one-man show, restrained performance, talking eyes, comfortable and full of emotions.
This movie is not just about love. Later, we discovered that the role of the operating system OS1 is not just the role of a girlfriend. It can be a friend, an elder, or someone else who helps us find spiritual comfort. People, with this, the theme of the film also expands. Extend to a discussion of intimacy between individuals. What do we need to find from each other and what we care about each other. Perhaps there is a reason why we become lovers and friends. We can find the comfort we want in each other. .
Theodore felt that it was because of Samantha's appearance that he had this time of herself, and Samantha was the same, because a period of interaction with Theodore, under the learning of artificial intelligence, could not automatically change in a certain direction. We may be like Theodore and Samantha, appearing in each other's lives, no matter the ending, we all lead each other to irreversible changes. This kind of influence is big and small, but it exists so tangibly. One day I inadvertently found that the step has reached a thousand miles, and everything can't go back. We shook our heads to the past either gratified or sorrowfully, and continue toward the endless night, toward the end of life.
For example, the author, in the south of this winter, it’s cold and humid outside, sitting at a small table in the hotel, facing the computer alone, it is not as smart as Samantha, but it makes me write on its cold body Lines of warm text.
