    I was perplexed and kind of gutted when I first watched the film and saw the soundtrack hadn't gotten an official release. I'm glad that's changed now, it's far and away my favourite OST of all time.

    This was the film that made me start to appreciate film as an art form rather than just "watching movies" The first time watching this film was literally life changing for me and it's still one of my favourite films of all time!

      It's up there with _Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind_ , also a movie about a speculative technology that focuses on a relationship, not the technology. And both made by music video auteurs.

    I watched her for the first time when I was just going through a breakup with someone who I held alot of promises with, was my best friend, and with someone who loved me more than anyone ever has. I felt alot of guilt for things about the relationship, how I could have been nicer, the what ifs. It still is something I think about but this movie absolutely broke me, at the same time, it reminded me how lucky I was. I got to experience such powerful love, something I always looked for, and thats an experience to be grateful for, regardless of whether that love is the same way now. The scene on the beach was so simple and beautiful but it truly changed my outlook on life. Amazing film and beautiful soundtrack

      I broke up with my girlfriend of 5.5 years a couple months ago, and it's been rough. But watching this video, and reading your comment, that alone is hitting hard. The guilt and regrets and what-ifs.
      It's gonna fuck me up, but I need to rewatch this movie. Idk if I'll ever really get closure, but maybe this would be close enough.

  • @zerjiozerjio
    @zerjiozerjio 6 місяців тому +5

    Beautifully put!
    A lot of my intellectual friends who also love this movie posit that it’s science fiction and about how AI is evolving past us. And I’ve always been like, “Did we watch the same fucking movie?!”
    When I tell them that this is about being human, they fight me on it, and I’ve had such a difficult time defending my position. Thanks to you, now I know why! I don’t know enough about music to explain how the very deliberate musical choices in the score are the part of the film that conjures Samantha’s humanity the most. But you truly captured that so beautifully. This is an allegory, and the AI conceit is very elegant, but secondary to the film’s message about the nature of human love and connection.

    Forgot I watched Her, probably way before I could actually appreciate it. I know for a time I used the soundtrack to help me sleep. I remember most loving the way it looked, cause it looked both like real life but also the future; kinda like how you dream reality if you see images in a dream.
    Wish I could approach/appreciate the music theory to the level presented, but its nice seeing this kinda dive into what’s happened in the movie, and so succinctly too

    I, like many I would imagine, was first introduced to your work via your hilarious editing for the Mr Sunday Movies channel. But whenever your rare but outstanding personal essays and videos break their way through the algorithm that insists regularity trumps quality to my feed, I am reminded of how truly wonderful, insightful, artistic and funny your output truly is. Keep being one of the best video essayists on the UA-cam platform brother. You are fantastic at this, and whenever you find the time to plow your talents into such outstanding and heartfelt commentary on the art that keeps the cynical wolves from the door of our souls, you will find a grateful and smiling audience in the form of me - a single dot on the analytics of your contribution to the love of all things cinema.

    Great video as always. I remember I was a bit hesitant of watching Her because I was convinced that it would be an excruciating experience for my emotions (younger me was a fairly sensitive person). Of course, I'm glad I did watch it after all; it is too beautiful of a movie to ignore. And, to my surprise and delight, it was more uplifting than it was depressing.

    I love this movie so much... It hurts, and ot confuses me, and it feels good, and it makes me so angry. It makes me feel human, even though I can't relate to or understand humanity.
    I feel bad for Samantha... That someone that she fell in love with was just.... So set in his ways that he couldn't accept her, that he wanted to own her.... He could have just been happy with her.
    So fine. He found someone that makes him happy, and Samantha found meaning in Life.... It gives me Hope I will too.
