A very good movie

I already saw this movie but since it was a while back, I thought I might as well check it out again. Well, at last, after being literally lost for so many years making 'Where the Wild Things Are', Spike Jonze was finally back and the end-result was once again pretty terrific (By the way, it's too bad he hasn't released anything new since then). Anyway, he basically made here a fascinating movie which worked on so many levels. First of all, I really liked the minimalistic style and the whole thing was visually really appealing but it went way beyond that. For example, it might sound crazy to have the main character fall in love with his operating system but in a world where we barely speak to our next-door neighbours and yet manage to have 3000 friends on Facebook or any other social platform or manage to have a deep relationship with someone living at the other side of the globe, are we really so far from this reality? Talking about reality, is the physical world much more significant than any virtual world? And what is the foundation of our relationships? Is it something really physical or is it in fact the interactions that we have with one and another? This movie went really deep into those questions without of course giving any answers but the process displayed was just mesmerizing. On top of that, it was just so refreshing to finally see a movie dealing with an advanced AI who didn't become homicidal at some point. It's so frustrating that, very often in science-fiction, something new or unknown is automatically handled as a threat. Finally, I shouldn't forget to mention that Joaquin Phoenix delivered here another hell of a one-man show but it was also quite might amazing what Scarlett Johansson managed to do only with her voice. Anyway, to conclude, it might be Spike Jonze's best movie so far, it is that good and it is definitely worth a look.
