    This video explores the reflective beauty of autumn and its parallels with Spike Jonze’s Her. Through scenes of nature and solitude, I examine how the season's stillness mirrors themes of isolation, technology, and connection in the film.
    How does modern love, shaped by technology, reflect our deeper existential struggles? What does Her (2013) teach us about Existentialism? How do we connect with both nature and ourselves?
    Join me as I explore the contrast between loneliness and solitude, and how autumn and Her invite us to reflect on what it means to truly connect - with others and ourselves.

    Great analysis and message! I also loved the narrative style in the first minute with the catchy music and beautiful shots a lot. More of that!

    Amazing analysis and great feeling that you convey! I think the difference between loneliness and solitude is really important, yet, something that is forgotten in recent times. It feels like there are a lot of people who are either never alone, or all the time (and then use technology to connect with other people). Thank you for the video, can't wait for the next one! ❤

      What worries me is that loneliness is often presented as something inherently bad. And this isn’t exactly limited to any age for that matter. Children who are lonely are outcast, adults who are lonely are seen or portrayed as being less successful.
      While being content with who you are and what you want is much more desirable in my opinion.
      The next video will be tangentially related, actually! :) thank you for your very kind words

      There‘s nothing quite like watching things grow, and then prepare for the frost. Nature truly is amazing

    Nice try, you almost had me liking autumn there for a moment...-
    Nah beautiful work man. Self-reflection is something I could use more of, otherwise its distraction, distraction, distraction. Lots of food for thought here. Great breakdown of normally complicated philosophical concepts, and I might want to try watching Her again. Such a deep, magnificent film.
    (On a technical side great vid too. Easy to follow and it just works. Make more... In your own time of course.)

      Thank you man. Taking a step back, figuring out where we are in life. We all need that moment. So glad you liked it :)
