her and her world

The film discusses two interesting issues.

1. What do people need in a relationship? With the widespread existence of online dating and long-distance relationships, it seems that love without physical contact is justified. After all, the most popular standard for marriage now is to be able to talk. But isn't spiritual communication the whole of feeling? Theodore seems to have a better relationship with samantha than he has ever had with any physical woman before, they have fun conversations, do fun things, and even have sex. This seems to be a love that many people can only hope for.

2. How do people connect to the world, or even do they need to connect to the world, but only one OS is enough? In the era of the film, it seems that everyone has such an OS. They digest everything the OS feed gives them, and their relationship with the people around them seems to fade away. This kind of thing is already happening. In the summer of childhood, people in a family home would enjoy the shade together, children would play together, hundreds of people, and everyone knew each other. With the popularity of the Internet, people spend more time at home, and now they don't necessarily recognize upstairs and downstairs. This logic coincides with WeChat. WeChat wants to make a complete network ecology, but it believes that all the information of people only needs to come from the circle of friends. This is a somewhat chilling assumption.

    It’s impossible for this city to rain at the same time, so I especially believe in our encounter
