It's been a while since i had this movie, and i knew what it's about, so i was waiting for the right time to watch it, or the right mood, because i want to feel it and appreciate it, which what people should do before watching it, they have to come with the right mentality.
Mainly because it's more an experience than an actual movie, i mean you don't finish it and learn something or have a story to tell, no, you watch it and feel it and that's it, you may learn something, depending on the way you see things, but to me, it's more like a feeling than an actual story.
The most amazing thing was the atmosphere, from the very beginning, you can see that the movie looks very modern, it was mostly filmed in Shanghai - China and LA, and it worked very well, because the concept of the movie was about technology and artificial intelligence and how technology can effect people, you can actually see people in the streets walking alone and/or talking to their phones, along side with that was the beautiful music and the stylist camera work that made every frame looks amazing, it's a very unique look at people, it made everyone look beautiful, and there was a great amount of details about people clothing, although it wasn't fit for everybody, some people looked very awkward with these types of clothes but it was an impressive work nonetheless.
The casting was very good, Joaquin Phoenix delivered a performance filled with emotions, Scarlett Johansson was charming and had a unique voice that made it work perfectly, the movie did made me laugh, specially that video game character played by Spike Jonze was hilarious, but mostly it was a private viewing, and in a movie like this, you can see reviews that are very different and far from eachother, because it wasn't a performance that we all can agree about it being good or bad, instead it was a feeling, so what comes down to it is just matter of opinions, and even the enjoyability may vary, frankly i didn't feel it all, some scenes were off to me, like the sexual surrogate scene, made me really confused or the phone sex scene, but overall it was a masterful work and deserve a look.
The ending was predictable, because you don't expect a relationship like this to work for ever, but it was very surprising at the same time, i mean you don't expect a software designed by a corporate to leave you and go to make a relationship with an AI, i honestly was expecting Her to tell him that she's inlove with all the people she talks to because that would be her way to make people attached to her and hence making more profit to the company but how things evolved at the end seemed reasonable to me so i had no complaints.
