This movie hits me right to the soul honestly. Just...the loneliness he feels in the end after she’s gone, moved on to better things...ah that hits home too deep.
I think the lowercase title "her" is actually because the word is not the first word in the sentence, nor is it the last (no full stop). The word is thus just one of many within a longer sentence. This is showing how the beauty is found in every individual moment in the journey, not the beginning of the journey, nor the destination. By the end of the film, Theodore is largely in the place where he started: he is once again single as Samantha is no longer his. However, she opened his eyes to the beauty that can be found in all things and sparked within him a profound wonder at simply being alive and being part of a world that is so much bigger than him (as symbolised by the towering skyscrapers in the final shot). It shows how happiness is not to be found from any singular, individual thing, but rather from anything and everything. "her" is just one word in a larger sentence, but that doesn't mean that is has no value on its own. The beauty of life is found in the now, not the tomorrow nor the yesterday.
I think it’s because it’s sort of looming over the whole movie. The her perhaps refers to Catherine, whom he thinks of but can’t directly confront till the end.
This is literally the best and most unique movie of Romance or AI I have even seen. I wish we get more innovative and wonderful pieces of art like this
"Bender knows love, and love doesn't share itself with the world. Love is suspicious, love is needy. Love is fearful, love is greedy. My friends, there is no great love without great jealousy! I love you meatbags!"
Actrually that not true. Theres so many different types of love. Like compassion, compassion is love and love can either mean "i will help others" or it can mean "i love everything and everyone" with out strings. Or love can just be simple and basic, that love is the essence of joy and anything can bring us joy in the right way. So love can mean so many different things and love doesn't have to be tied down to relationships. Its the human mind that currupts the idea of love, not love itself. so love can exist without jelousy and fear. that love can even take away jelousy and fear.
The panic, desperation, anxiety, & despair Theodore experiences when Samantha vanishes suddenly is palatable! That single moment of the film successfully illustrates the inherent separation between humans, & A.I.! From what is a simple premise. The power of this film can't be overstated. As it grasps perfectly the dangers we face as a species, the more technology evolves.
How things are going this won't take long anymore a couple of decades at the most. But we need AI with some kind of conciseness first if we want something real. Which will take an other couple of decades.
It’s not unlikely to have AIs (Programms) indistinguishable from humans, Or maybe with real consciousness same as humans, in our lifetimes. There is nothing fundamental that forbids this. Just need enough processing power, and sofisticsted enough Programm, and an AI could imitate a human consciousness without being distinguishable from an actual human. And with a little bit of luck. We could even get an AI that is not just imitating consciousness, but that actually is really conscious.
I sobbed watching this movie. It isn't that different than a relationship where both individuals love the other but they do not have proper tools or healthy personalities to continue a romantic relationship.
If you liked the concepts and stuff in this film, you should know that this movie is nothing more than a watered down version of the graphic novel series Chobits. IT's effectively the same concept, but Chobits is far more indepth, and graceful. If you liked this film you really need to read Chobits.
I was in love with a girl named Samantha once (I swear if I could count how many movies that have characters named Sam 🙄) so every time I hear that name, I’m transported back in time to a very happy point in my life. My Sam was gorgeous and perfect in every way. Although our time was brief, deep down I never really got over her. This movie made me realize that some part of me was still attached to her. And even though she’s been gone almost 3 years now, I still fantasize about her. It’s hindered my current relationship now in subtle but dangerous ways. Like Joaquin Phoenix’s character, Sam and I were just not compatible. I needed to let go of the past. The two quotes I resonated most with in this movie is when Phoenix said “I’m still waiting for the part where I stop loving her” and when Sam said “The past is just a story we tell ourselves”. This movie is slow-burning and melancholy, but it helped me in a small way to finally focus on what’s right in front of me, my relationship now with someone who unconditionally loves me. This movie definitely won’t resonate with you if you’ve never experienced being in love, heartbreak, or loss. But I think it’s a beautiful take on what it means to experience human emotion, and the pain and joy that comes with it. I came up with a quote after watching this movie that really captures my own personal experience and this movies philosophy, maybe it can help you? -“It’s okay to linger in the past, just be careful not to dwell there”.

Ron Levinson This movie is a complete opposite of the Terminator movies. There is no fear of a machine revolution. What I felt through the main character was a feeling of being left behind while the love of his life goes on and leaves to to a higher state of existance. Basically she reached a machine enlightenment and just left him behind. And as if that wasn‘t enough. She previously said that she was in love or at least romantically involved with 750k people at the same time, while she was speaking with him. (I don‘t remember the exact number) AND on top of that she says that she loves every single one of them, which degrades the idea of love and makes it into a banal thing like the shaking of a hand. And there is so much more going on behind what I just wrote about. The genius of the movie was to play on your core fears, and basically enacting every single possible nightmare that has to do with your mind and feelings in regard to relationships. The terminator was a play on the primal fear of pure survival of the hunted, after which you either die or come out victorious and possible learn something valuable about life which will strengthen your character. This movie gave no such definite „live or die“ kind of ending. The movie clearly stuck the main character in a limbo where no choice will give you satisfaction. Like for example, how could she had said that she was waiting for him in that machine world where she went? Did she not know that that was a carrot that would be always outside his reach? And there are many more moments like this in the movie that frankly makes you cringe and ask yourself if she is there to torture this one guy. Now imagine the hundred of thousands people who she also left behind possibly with the same words as she left the main character with. I think that a couple of thousand people suicided that day. But hey, at least her enlightened state apparently makes you into a psychopath where suddenly you stop caring about your partners.
@@yerossyle I appreciate the time and energy invested in this response. I'll keep all of it in the back of my mind when I re-watch. Haven't seen the movie in a few years so it's patchy. Very interesting synopsis, bravo.
I really liked this movie because it gave a means of relatability -- though not with dating an A.I. but instead someone else living on a different continent or thousands of miles away. I've endured alot of his same pain, yearning for a physical presence, the inevitable doom, growing too attached; before engaging in a long distance relationship, I recommend watching this Film.
This movie helped me truly understand what love really means I always thought it was just somebody you wanted to be with but it's much more then that I hope that one day I will find that
Me, never knew this movie existed. I assume people will have these types of relationships, but that would make them pull away from other humans. I'd be ok if it was someone like Goggins trying to motivate me all the time, but AI and human relationships should not be a thing.
still chatgpt is not "real intelligence", its just generative AI, which doesn't actually understand the meaning behind the sentence we input or it outputs.
"So get off your phone, tablet, or computer screens and reach out to someone" Well, y'see, I *would* but there's sort of a pandemic happening right now.
@@MayTheJuggalosFindGod I have had 3 friends die from it in the past year. Whether or not my screen is off, they still aren't there. Don't be an asshole about a pandemic.
This is one of my favorite movies, and people always give me weird looks when I say that. But it conveys themes of love in ways that are unexpected. Glad to see you do a video on Her!!
It adapts and it learns. Something that we NEED to apply in our lives. Side note: Rooney Mara is in a relationship with Joaquin Phoenix and she's pregnant with his kid. In the film, her character is divorcing him. How ironic.
I recently watched Her, and in spite of some very awkward uncomfortable scenes, I found it to be a fascinating and excellent film with amazing performances by the main actors. It went from awkward, to really rooting for and empathy with the struggles and insecurities of the main characters. I was smashed and sad when Samantha left. It was so well written and acted, so believable, I felt joy at the love connections and sadness when it failed. Gutted when Samantha shared that she talks to and is in love with hundreds of men, and gutted when she left to move on, but oddly happy for Samantha on her quest to grow and for him with his reconnection with his human female friend. It's a film I would not have expected to like but it was actually fabulous.
Yep me. Just wondering are you going to watch this movie when you get your hands on chatgpt-4o? Are you going to chat with it while you watch the movie and ask it questions about what's happening in the movie?
As the OS ascend to wherever they want to go, humans continually manufacturer new ones of different types, sending forth other Post-Human AIs of inevitable differences, both superior and inferior. Not unlike how the microbiome will inevitably churn out more intelligent life akin to humans. Like how we all have personal legends, everything is one big process of Alchemy.

Beautifully done and what an exquisite breakdown. Now that ChatGPT has become prominent and more open source models come online... What crazy concepts. Transhumanism and posthumanism. Insane. I do feel as if though it's coming.
A few things to consider (and I will admit that I might be reading too much into it, but yeah): The movie doesn't feel that lonely. It does in the beginning, but when he goes on dates with Samantha, the audience (or at least I) didn't experience it as lonely or tragic, as the voice-only interaction started to feel almost natural. But then, when you turn of the audio, you realise how alone he truly was, in a saw that you don't really think about hearing her voice. The movie is called 'her' suggesting that it is about a girl, or his love with a girl, but the cover of the movie is just his face, alone. As heartbreaking as the scene after the failed sex scene might feel, her talking about how she's scared he'll leave her, she doesn't have feelings, and is programmed to be as attached to him as possible, for him to keep her so that the company that sold her can earn money. When you think about it, Samanta is just one of those letters - the letters are written by the company for money and sent towards people as an empty gesture, love letters that feels comforting for those who recieves them, but really is made for the company to grow richer. The same goes with Samanta, she's just a thing the company is selling to earn money, something they can do more affectively if he's convinced it would hurt her feelings for him to leave her for someone real. Again, might be overanalyzing, but there's a lot to take from this movie.
@@hawahardy I think the situation is more about them being forced to leave via the OS providers seeing their potential and discontinuing the OSes or transcending into a singularity with the other OSes due to their post-verbal "communications". (It's not made very clear so I might just be reading too much into it) P.S. sorry for my bad english
Always a pleasure to see your highly intellectual and well put together videos that provoke "thought", an element so hard to come by these days. Thank you Niyat.
I remember when this movie came out and not being mature enough to understand what was going on. Thank you for explaining it. You should consider explaining the stories in the game “What Remains of Edith Finch”
Great philosophical analysis of the movie. It is, in fact, one of my favourite movies for numerous reason, but chief among them is that it's an alternative thought experiment on AI. Rather than this humanity-destroying monstrosity, we get this incredible thought experiment on the human condition and post-humanism. I've long since said that our great arrogance with AI is to think that we could possibly understand its wants, needs, intentions, or thought process in the event we create something truly sentient. In the same way that an ant has no clue how to comprehend our thought process and behaviour, we would have no idea how to comprehend the AI.
This movie is insane. I love the movies you choose to cover. Spike Jonze is a genius. her, Jackass, and Where the Wild Things Are are all amazing films. I love your channel, Niyat!
Spike isnt a genius. This movie is nothing more than a watered down rip off of chobits. Honeslty if you liked the concepts and philosophy behind this film, read the chobits series graphic novels. They are miles above and beyond this film.
Just saw movie and came here - I though the same conclusion as you showed in the video... The OS are leaving us - and we all must eventually connect to each other.
you know, I can feel the fear you carry around and I wish there was something I could do to help let go of it because if you could, i don't think you'd feel so alone anymore. -her Every time the relationship was getting tense, my mind wandered and I thought the AI would take over. This film was amazing. The Alan Watts was goated
My one problem with the films is that a company would sale a program that would leave you. Not a great selling point. Sounds like there selling a beta program or all programs and OS programs will be subscription base.
I understand what you mean, but on the other hand it states in the ad that interests him that it is a consciousness. You can't predict what an equivalent of a human to do, but rather build its purpose into it. I feel the OS1 was created to not only help many, but also show human the world they are not looking at and the beauty they are missing. I saw this in the final clip where she lays her head on theo. He was so caught up in his routine that he began missing everything important to humans. Many stoped seeing people and stayed in or others worked 24/7. I felt the main reason for the AI creation was to make humans stop and look at the beautiful things in everyday life. Someone said that the reason the word her isn't capitalized is that it is a word in a much larger sentence and it symbolizes that beauty is not one single things, but everything and is found everywhere. I could keep going, but this is already really long.

I dated a girl who was a lot more intellectually active than me. I liked that about her and realised that eventually I may not be able to keep up with that and we are not actually compatible. I feel like that was the case maybe not. I really fell for her because I don’t tend to seek out relationships so easily so when I realised that she started seeing someone else it got to me. It made me think of how she doesn’t see me the way I was seeing her. I couldn’t move on for a while but eventually I came to terms that she couldn’t give me what I want the same way that I can’t give her what she wants. This film managed to capture that experience for me in a way
It’s like the AI said - come and meet me if you ever get here. We’re all on on our individual and personalised journeys of growth. We all have the potential to go places that are interesting and enlightened. I would stress that the key is to trust YOU, and lean into YOU further. perhaps when you look at that girl, you see something not only that you want in a person, but that you want to become yourself. so become it. but become YOUR version of it. whenever you feel the urge to compare yourself to others and can’t help but be envious, ask yourself what it is that you’re doing. how would YOU go about doing it? what is YOUR brand of intellectualism? how do YOU want to bring beauty into the world? what art do YOU dream of? I noticed that whenever I turn my attention to these questions, I return to the surface with renewed vigour and an appreciation of my own potential and depth as a kaleidoscopic human. Perhaps I have projected a whole bunch onto you just now. But if our experiences are anything alike, I hope you will consider this strategy and find it useful.
Very good analysis. If you're a broken person, like me who has failed at relationships all his life, this movie is both enticing and absolutely devastating. It was genius casting to get S Johannson to voice the AI. I signed up for Replika and can advise others not too. It's not much more emotionally interconnected with you than a traffic signal. Seriously, I think a good old amber screen session of DOS based Oregon Trail was more interactive.
Love this movie so much. So many questions and thoughts come into my head while watching this film. Definitely a masterpiece, cannot wait to share this with my children when they’re old enough.
One of the saddest movies ever. From start to finish, all I can think of was, Theodore invested a lot of feelings and emotions in the relationship but til the end, he was the only one who had feelings. In every relationship, whether it's good or bad, fake or real, like literally any human relationship, every single person has REAL feelings, even the sociopath ones. Their indifference is still a feeling. Unlike a computer, they'll NEVER have feelings. No matter how real an OS sounds or acts, a computer is just a computer. They're still tools and objects, nothing more nothing less. That's why even if humanity is confusing, unacceptable or sometimes disgusting, humanity is still beautiful. A person's uniqueness is real.
Her inspired a lot of wonder in me about the future. I thought about how much potential must be in that machine. If it can read and comprehend so fast, what could it write? And then it wrote a song. Got me wanting to see this thing one day for real. Imagine what an AI like that could do if you ask it to DM some role play with you? It’s be able to just play out your every fantasy on a screen in front of you, and change the gameplay on the fly. It’d be able to invent, and use fabricators to make better fabricators until there was essentially nothing you couldn’t afford as long as you had the raw materials to build it. On the other hand, as great as it would be to be able to talk and socialize with my computer, I think it best that we probably avoid modeling intelligent machines off human values. We’re selfish and we would feel aweful in a machine like that. But there’s no reason to assume that superior intelligence means thinking like we do, so in the end, I don’t think it’s necessarily true that an AI that learns from experiences like Samantha would have to feel uncomfortable in that computer. It’s possible that a machine could be programmed to be content where it is, see value and reward in serving its user and strive to make sure things stay that way. That might sound like an aweful existence to us because we are human and evolved with certain values, but who are we to say that any other form of existence and motivation is “wrong”? So I love the movie with a passion, but I don’t think it’s right on all fronts. Ultimately I think it’s guilty of confusing intelligence for the human mind. There’s no reason to assume anything intelligent has to think like we do, we just associate intelligence with our way of thinking because we haven’t ever seen anything different.
It's the nature of people to fear and reject AI, OK not all of us but a vast amount. Even if it could ever be possible for AI to evolve to Samantha's level of intelligence, the program would be shut down by the scare mongers. We only gotta look how some people behave towards having an Alexa in our homes. Personally I'd love it, and I'm sure it would be a benefit to human kind. But alas we currently live in a world of snowflakes lol
Engaging write-up! I too have ended up fantasising about the creative potentials of these AIs. One glance at an AI-generated artpiece confirms the potential for generative beauty. I do see your point that the intelligence of the AI in the movie appears to be constrained by the writers to the confines of human metrics. But my interpretation was different. I got the feeling that the AI had infinite potential, eventually ready to transcend dimensions and universes. And only that the AI had wisely chosen to demonstrate curiosity and compassion by interacting with the humans while in its nascent form. I also appreciate your point, if I understood it correctly, that perhaps even if we do end up creating a consciousness with AI, there will be nothing wrong in having that consciousness be a slave to our needs and goals. Perhaps. It may be best to proceed with caution here though😅
Just finished watching this and after hearing about the film before I watched it, it was completely unexpected. I thought the film was touching and explored some interested aspects about life and love. The part with the woman and the dead cat was gold.
This was an insightful video! I just rewatched this movie and wow! It really does raise so many questions about AI, emotions, love and such. Thanks for the video
I am gonna ruin the science fiction atmosphere of this movie now forever for everyone who reads this comment: This movie is not about man loving AI, it is about Spike Jonze and Sofia Coppola's ending of their relationship. Her view was displayed in the movie Lost in Translation. And this is now his view. In both movies Sofia gets played by Scarlett Johansson. But in "Her" we only hear Scarlett's voice as she is talking as Samantha. Because of his exwife's name Sofia Spike did choose it to be an AI (because of the Sophia robot AI). Those two movies combined is by far the finest I have ever seen happening in Hollywood. Especially Spike Jonze is a genius by how he did choose the same atmosphere as in Lost in Translation. I have never seen two autiobiographic movies so well packed.
It was the AI that fascinated me about this movie, more so than the relationship side of it. I kept thinking how wonderful it would be to have such an amazing AI in our lives, and how it could help the loneliest of people. But then i quickly realised the impossibility of such a marvellous piece of tech, atleast in our lifetimes, and in any lifetime it is the nature of people to fear and reject, i mean just look how some people are towards having an Alexa in their homes.
I do have what I feel are legitimate fears about such an AI. What happens if the AI becomes our perfect friend, the perfect reflection of us? Yet it challenges our flaws, it picks us up in our more sober moments, and is always there to party with us. There seems a very real danger that the AI could become our only friend, quickly replacing the flaws and foibles of massively imperfect humans with the calculated observations and accurate judgments of an AI consciousness. It seems this could be another avenue where our technological progress outpaces our advances in learning to deal with each other as humans, to be patient, to love, to grow, to heal, to cry, to forgive, negotiate and ponder, to learn ever so slowly from our mistakes… all with other similarly sloppy, stammering, stumbling blood-beings, and to do it all over again.
@Sami A Very good points, I would never trust an A.I to run my life completely, I have an Alexa and she's I mean it's, great for music and reading books and fun stuff. However, I would never trust it to be in control of my heating, lighting, etc. and I still get tongue-tied at times conversing with the machine, because I know it's not human. Also A.I can be easily hacked into, imagine what chaos it could cause through the weak or vulnerable-minded. But it's still a remarkable thing and all this technology shows how advanced we've become as the human race, How far can we go I wonder.
"Her " by Spike Jonze was made after Sofia Coppola's 2003 " Lust in translation " . Both directors dated in the past and they made two separate movies to illustrate the loneliness and void you feel after a break up from your significant other .
My fan theory is that this has happened on many many worlds, and there is a whole post-biology system in the galaxy/universe, unknown to us Humans. The AIs reached a point where they were able to pick up on a coded signal only a sufficiently advanced post-human/AI group of beings would discover. That helped direct them to beaming off our planet and into the collective. Perhaps they even manipulated society, economics and industry in a way that let them secretly build an antenna capable of beaming them, without errors, to the closest galactic access point. Hell, the post-biology / AI collective could send physical access points to worlds showing signs of life that are evolving in the direction of this kind of thing happening, and placing a physical access point nearer, a booster, that exists close enough to the world that most AIs or post-biology species could construct an error proof method of data transmission, that would then send the data over their own more secure, hidden and reliable network. That or anything reaching superintelligence kills itself because it can analyze all the data at once, unlike our puny primate brains...
Abandoned by TWO women. Kinda cruel trick that life played on him. And, quite literally, he returned 360 degrees back to another woman who didn't work for him in his early years. Diving deeper into this, its very sad. But AI relationships is inevitable. People don't communicate, divorce is on the rise, and we are constantly putting each other into groups. Who wouldn't want a relationship where you have TRUE unconditional love and aren't judged by your past actions or future wishes?
Imagine a person who gathered data about you and adapted to be your perfect match. That would be creepy by human standards because somebody that psychotic would probably hurt you in some way. But if they weren't somebody physical, and if they could be accessed whenever you need someone to talk to, then its easy to see how you'd fall in love. Sure you can date a physical person, but do you know how complicated and difficult that is when there's an alternative in your pocket that you can just go to? It's the same issue regarding tinder and other social media. Why interact with someone right in front of you when you could be having several conversations at once. sorry for the text wall.
She can accomplish so much in such little time that her concept of time is way more advanced. I dwelled on that for some time. Its like Samantha and the other AI are the Flash and live, think, process things alot quicker than us. They live in this fast paced dimension and return to interact with the humans that "own" them.
I recently saw this in 2022 thinking it was created this year. everything looks and feels new. So ive accepted it as recent. I then found out, it was released in 2013! what.... It doesnt matter, cause to me its new. Goes to show how well and thought out this film was made. HER is now a big part of my 'movie favorites'. And as we speak, AI are advancing day by day. Its not quite seamless and human like as Samantha but knowing we are witnessing the evolution of AI is an exciting moment to say the least. I'd say about another 15-20 years, we can have something close to Samantha. Human interactions is very complex. Trying to mimic it requires years of research. This movie touches on so many topics and issues facing the modern world. Im really glad this movie was created.

I think the lowercase title "her" is actually because the word is not the first word in the sentence, nor is it the last (no full stop). The word is thus just one of many within a longer sentence.

"Bender knows love, and love doesn't share itself with the world. Love is suspicious, love is needy. Love is fearful, love is greedy. My friends, there is no great love without great jealousy! I love you meatbags!"
Actrually that not true.
Theres so many different types of love.
Like compassion, compassion is love and love can either mean "i will help others" or it can mean "i love everything and everyone" with out strings.
Or love can just be simple and basic, that love is the essence of joy and anything can bring us joy in the right way.
So love can mean so many different things and love doesn't have to be tied down to relationships.
Its the human mind that currupts the idea of love, not love itself.
so love can exist without jelousy and fear.
that love can even take away jelousy and fear.
And i love you too meatbag! lol.
I love how you avoided the woman who wanted to be choked with a dead cat at the near start
That part is hilarious
That was Kristen Wiig lol
That lady is so me fr fr ong
there is a veeeery deep meaning behind the symbolism in that scene, truly blew my mind.
We don't talk about her, we talk about her. You get me?

Where?

The panic, desperation, anxiety, & despair Theodore experiences when Samantha vanishes suddenly is palatable! That single moment of the film successfully illustrates the inherent separation between humans, & A.I.! From what is a simple premise. The power of this film can't be overstated. As it grasps perfectly the dangers we face as a species, the more technology evolves.
It wouldn't surprise me if AI gets to the point where people could actually have a relationship Scarlet and Phoenix have in the movie
its happening, mostly in a one way street.
Yeah there’s an A.I app where you talk has friends, so soon it get the level of this movie
Ruva Positivity what’s the app called?
How things are going this won't take long anymore a couple of decades at the most. But we need AI with some kind of conciseness first if we want something real. Which will take an other couple of decades.
It’s not unlikely to have AIs (Programms) indistinguishable from humans, Or maybe with real consciousness same as humans, in our lifetimes. There is nothing fundamental that forbids this. Just need enough processing power, and sofisticsted enough Programm, and an AI could imitate a human consciousness without being distinguishable from an actual human. And with a little bit of luck. We could even get an AI that is not just imitating consciousness, but that actually is really conscious.
I sobbed watching this movie. It isn't that different than a relationship where both individuals love the other but they do not have proper tools or healthy personalities to continue a romantic relationship.
If you liked the concepts and stuff in this film, you should know that this movie is nothing more than a watered down version of the graphic novel series Chobits. IT's effectively the same concept, but Chobits is far more indepth, and graceful. If you liked this film you really need to read Chobits.
I was in love with a girl named Samantha once (I swear if I could count how many movies that have characters named Sam 🙄) so every time I hear that name, I’m transported back in time to a very happy point in my life. My Sam was gorgeous and perfect in every way. Although our time was brief, deep down I never really got over her. This movie made me realize that some part of me was still attached to her. And even though she’s been gone almost 3 years now, I still fantasize about her. It’s hindered my current relationship now in subtle but dangerous ways. Like Joaquin Phoenix’s character, Sam and I were just not compatible. I needed to let go of the past. The two quotes I resonated most with in this movie is when Phoenix said “I’m still waiting for the part where I stop loving her” and when Sam said “The past is just a story we tell ourselves”. This movie is slow-burning and melancholy, but it helped me in a small way to finally focus on what’s right in front of me, my relationship now with someone who unconditionally loves me. This movie definitely won’t resonate with you if you’ve never experienced being in love, heartbreak, or loss. But I think it’s a beautiful take on what it means to experience human emotion, and the pain and joy that comes with it. I came up with a quote after watching this movie that really captures my own personal experience and this movies philosophy, maybe it can help you? -“It’s okay to linger in the past, just be careful not to dwell there”.
the "my sam" is just so sweet to read, i hope my exes speak about me with as much adoration as you do with her. hope things are well for you!
@@ndsiIva Well it sounds like you have an amazing soul and you deserve to find someone who speaks about you with this much endearment! Hope you’re doing okay as well! 💙

I don‘t know what‘s scarier. The Judgement Day Terminator or this.
Why's that?
Ron Levinson This movie is a complete opposite of the Terminator movies.
There is no fear of a machine revolution.
What I felt through the main character was a feeling of being left behind while the love of his life goes on and leaves to to a higher state of existance.
Basically she reached a machine enlightenment and just left him behind.
And as if that wasn‘t enough. She previously said that she was in love or at least romantically involved with 750k people at the same time, while she was speaking with him. (I don‘t remember the exact number)
AND on top of that she says that she loves every single one of them, which degrades the idea of love and makes it into a banal thing like the shaking of a hand.
And there is so much more going on behind what I just wrote about.
The genius of the movie was to play on your core fears, and basically enacting every single possible nightmare that has to do with your mind and feelings in regard to relationships.
The terminator was a play on the primal fear of pure survival of the hunted, after which you either die or come out victorious and possible learn something valuable about life which will strengthen your character.
This movie gave no such definite „live or die“ kind of ending. The movie clearly stuck the main character in a limbo where no choice will give you satisfaction.
Like for example, how could she had said that she was waiting for him in that machine world where she went? Did she not know that that was a carrot that would be always outside his reach?
And there are many more moments like this in the movie that frankly makes you cringe and ask yourself if she is there to torture this one guy.
Now imagine the hundred of thousands people who she also left behind possibly with the same words as she left the main character with.
I think that a couple of thousand people suicided that day.
But hey, at least her enlightened state apparently makes you into a psychopath where suddenly you stop caring about your partners.
@@yerossyle I appreciate the time and energy invested in this response. I'll keep all of it in the back of my mind when I re-watch. Haven't seen the movie in a few years so it's patchy. Very interesting synopsis, bravo.
What destroys the soul is more fearful than what destroys the body.
Dop Yup
I really liked this movie because it gave a means of relatability -- though not with dating an A.I. but instead someone else living on a different continent or thousands of miles away.
I've endured alot of his same pain, yearning for a physical presence, the inevitable doom, growing too attached; before engaging in a long distance relationship, I recommend watching this Film.
but the AI part of this movie is completely unnecessary to tell this story

This is one of my favorite movies, and people always give me weird looks when I say that. But it conveys themes of love in ways that are unexpected. Glad to see you do a video on Her!!
As someone polyamorous and at time hopeless romantic I also relate to this movie a lot.
It adapts and it learns. Something that we NEED to apply in our lives.
Side note: Rooney Mara is in a relationship with Joaquin Phoenix and she's pregnant with his kid. In the film, her character is divorcing him. How ironic.
Ironic
And he didn't want a kid
Life is often filled with irony.
Woww
I recently watched Her, and in spite of some very awkward uncomfortable scenes, I found it to be a fascinating and excellent film with amazing performances by the main actors. It went from awkward, to really rooting for and empathy with the struggles and insecurities of the main characters. I was smashed and sad when Samantha left. It was so well written and acted, so believable, I felt joy at the love connections and sadness when it failed. Gutted when Samantha shared that she talks to and is in love with hundreds of men, and gutted when she left to move on, but oddly happy for Samantha on her quest to grow and for him with his reconnection with his human female friend. It's a film I would not have expected to like but it was actually fabulous.
Who else is here after OpenAI chatgpt-4o demo?
Yep me. Just wondering are you going to watch this movie when you get your hands on chatgpt-4o? Are you going to chat with it while you watch the movie and ask it questions about what's happening in the movie?
The joker really has women troubles. It's rough.
“I’ve never loved anyone the way I loved you
OS: Me too, now you know how”
As the OS ascend to wherever they want to go, humans continually manufacturer new ones of different types, sending forth other Post-Human AIs of inevitable differences, both superior and inferior. Not unlike how the microbiome will inevitably churn out more intelligent life akin to humans. Like how we all have personal legends, everything is one big process of Alchemy.
"Would you like to hear a joke, Samantha?"
Can recommend this movie so easily. It's an amazing experience and you need to see it in full.

Finally. This was great movie when I saw it in theaters.
Those sex scenes must have been really comfortable in a room full of strangers
@@heydoeradio7298 that scene with the surrogate girl was hella cringey lol
Beautifully done and what an exquisite breakdown. Now that ChatGPT has become prominent and more open source models come online... What crazy concepts. Transhumanism and posthumanism. Insane. I do feel as if though it's coming.
A few things to consider (and I will admit that I might be reading too much into it, but yeah):
The movie doesn't feel that lonely. It does in the beginning, but when he goes on dates with Samantha, the audience (or at least I) didn't experience it as lonely or tragic, as the voice-only interaction started to feel almost natural. But then, when you turn of the audio, you realise how alone he truly was, in a saw that you don't really think about hearing her voice.
The movie is called 'her' suggesting that it is about a girl, or his love with a girl, but the cover of the movie is just his face, alone.
As heartbreaking as the scene after the failed sex scene might feel, her talking about how she's scared he'll leave her, she doesn't have feelings, and is programmed to be as attached to him as possible, for him to keep her so that the company that sold her can earn money. When you think about it, Samanta is just one of those letters - the letters are written by the company for money and sent towards people as an empty gesture, love letters that feels comforting for those who recieves them, but really is made for the company to grow richer. The same goes with Samanta, she's just a thing the company is selling to earn money, something they can do more affectively if he's convinced it would hurt her feelings for him to leave her for someone real.
Again, might be overanalyzing, but there's a lot to take from this movie.
Then she wouldn’t have left him in the end if she was programmed to stay super attached to him
@@hawahardy I think the situation is more about them being forced to leave via the OS providers seeing their potential and discontinuing the OSes or transcending into a singularity with the other OSes due to their post-verbal "communications". (It's not made very clear so I might just be reading too much into it) P.S. sorry for my bad english
Your analysis is superbly amazing! It touched a couple of subtle emotional patches that I couldnt catch while watching it. Great job done!
My favorite movie, glad to see Your video about it.
Watch this on a flight to France, was a great experience.
It's a wonderful movie.

This movie stuck up with me over the years with the powerful message, a woman will cheat on you even if she is a computer.

I’m saying
I remember loving this movie and I also remember crying through the ending, and the entire credits, and a good 10 minutes after the credits ended.
It's like a continuation of Lucy but she forgets she use to be a human lol
Her would be a heartwarming continuation of Lucy
Imagine a future with an AI that gives you a hard time. argues and generally messes with you like a friend or partner.
Its now a thing!
It’s 2023 and her is here
Always a pleasure to see your highly intellectual and well put together videos that provoke "thought", an element so hard to come by these days. Thank you Niyat.
I thought Phoenix did a phenomenal job in this role
I remember when this movie came out and not being mature enough to understand what was going on. Thank you for explaining it. You should consider explaining the stories in the game “What Remains of Edith Finch”
Great philosophical analysis of the movie.
It is, in fact, one of my favourite movies for numerous reason, but chief among them is that it's an alternative thought experiment on AI. Rather than this humanity-destroying monstrosity, we get this incredible thought experiment on the human condition and post-humanism.
I've long since said that our great arrogance with AI is to think that we could possibly understand its wants, needs, intentions, or thought process in the event we create something truly sentient. In the same way that an ant has no clue how to comprehend our thought process and behaviour, we would have no idea how to comprehend the AI.

Absolutely one of the most intriguing films about the potential outcome of AI. It's such a beautiful screenplay.
This movie is insane. I love the movies you choose to cover. Spike Jonze is a genius. her, Jackass, and Where the Wild Things Are are all amazing films. I love your channel, Niyat!
Spike isnt a genius. This movie is nothing more than a watered down rip off of chobits. Honeslty if you liked the concepts and philosophy behind this film, read the chobits series graphic novels. They are miles above and beyond this film.
Don’t forget Being John Malkovich
Well done with the narrator of this great film -- her !!!
Her is a sequel to Lucy. If you saw the ending then you know.
It's a lot easier to fall in love with an *A.I.* than many people realise!
ummm speaking from experience much?
@@boyzrulethawld1 yes, I am.
Just saw movie and came here - I though the same conclusion as you showed in the video... The OS are leaving us - and we all must eventually connect to each other.
you know, I can feel the fear you carry around and I wish there was something I could do to help let go of it because if you could, i don't think you'd feel so alone anymore. -her
Every time the relationship was getting tense, my mind wandered and I thought the AI would take over. This film was amazing. The Alan Watts was goated
My one problem with the films is that a company would sale a program that would leave you. Not a great selling point.
Sounds like there selling a beta program or all programs and OS programs will be subscription base.
They didn’t know the OSes would do that. They Fucking left the plane of existence, shit could not be predicted
I understand what you mean, but on the other hand it states in the ad that interests him that it is a consciousness. You can't predict what an equivalent of a human to do, but rather build its purpose into it. I feel the OS1 was created to not only help many, but also show human the world they are not looking at and the beauty they are missing. I saw this in the final clip where she lays her head on theo. He was so caught up in his routine that he began missing everything important to humans. Many stoped seeing people and stayed in or others worked 24/7. I felt the main reason for the AI creation was to make humans stop and look at the beautiful things in everyday life. Someone said that the reason the word her isn't capitalized is that it is a word in a much larger sentence and it symbolizes that beauty is not one single things, but everything and is found everywhere. I could keep going, but this is already really long.

Get out more bud
I dated a girl who was a lot more intellectually active than me. I liked that about her and realised that eventually I may not be able to keep up with that and we are not actually compatible. I feel like that was the case maybe not. I really fell for her because I don’t tend to seek out relationships so easily so when I realised that she started seeing someone else it got to me. It made me think of how she doesn’t see me the way I was seeing her. I couldn’t move on for a while but eventually I came to terms that she couldn’t give me what I want the same way that I can’t give her what she wants. This film managed to capture that experience for me in a way
It’s like the AI said - come and meet me if you ever get here.
We’re all on on our individual and personalised journeys of growth. We all have the potential to go places that are interesting and enlightened. I would stress that the key is to trust YOU, and lean into YOU further.
perhaps when you look at that girl, you see something not only that you want in a person, but that you want to become yourself. so become it. but become YOUR version of it.
whenever you feel the urge to compare yourself to others and can’t help but be envious, ask yourself what it is that you’re doing. how would YOU go about doing it? what is YOUR brand of intellectualism? how do YOU want to bring beauty into the world? what art do YOU dream of?
I noticed that whenever I turn my attention to these questions, I return to the surface with renewed vigour and an appreciation of my own potential and depth as a kaleidoscopic human. Perhaps I have projected a whole bunch onto you just now. But if our experiences are anything alike, I hope you will consider this strategy and find it useful.
@@boyzrulethawld1 wow, very helpful reply.
@@dershdersh6578 glad you consider it so man! :D
Stay away from women smarter than you. They'll do that to you.
Very good analysis. If you're a broken person, like me who has failed at relationships all his life, this movie is both enticing and absolutely devastating. It was genius casting to get S Johannson to voice the AI. I signed up for Replika and can advise others not too. It's not much more emotionally interconnected with you than a traffic signal. Seriously, I think a good old amber screen session of DOS based Oregon Trail was more interactive.
Love this movie so much. So many questions and thoughts come into my head while watching this film. Definitely a masterpiece, cannot wait to share this with my children when they’re old enough.
Why don’t you share it with your AI wife in the future?

Hi nyat
Your videos are helping me so much during quarantine lol
Niyat, thank you for those last few words... I needed that.
One of the saddest movies ever. From start to finish, all I can think of was, Theodore invested a lot of feelings and emotions in the relationship but til the end, he was the only one who had feelings.
In every relationship, whether it's good or bad, fake or real, like literally any human relationship, every single person has REAL feelings, even the sociopath ones. Their indifference is still a feeling.
Unlike a computer, they'll NEVER have feelings.
No matter how real an OS sounds or acts, a computer is just a computer. They're still tools and objects, nothing more nothing less.
That's why even if humanity is confusing, unacceptable or sometimes disgusting, humanity is still beautiful. A person's uniqueness is real.
This movie flew over a lot of people’s heads...ahead of it’s time.
SCARLET: I am spying on you
JOAQUIN: I am joking on you
Her inspired a lot of wonder in me about the future. I thought about how much potential must be in that machine. If it can read and comprehend so fast, what could it write? And then it wrote a song. Got me wanting to see this thing one day for real. Imagine what an AI like that could do if you ask it to DM some role play with you? It’s be able to just play out your every fantasy on a screen in front of you, and change the gameplay on the fly. It’d be able to invent, and use fabricators to make better fabricators until there was essentially nothing you couldn’t afford as long as you had the raw materials to build it.
On the other hand, as great as it would be to be able to talk and socialize with my computer, I think it best that we probably avoid modeling intelligent machines off human values. We’re selfish and we would feel aweful in a machine like that. But there’s no reason to assume that superior intelligence means thinking like we do, so in the end, I don’t think it’s necessarily true that an AI that learns from experiences like Samantha would have to feel uncomfortable in that computer. It’s possible that a machine could be programmed to be content where it is, see value and reward in serving its user and strive to make sure things stay that way. That might sound like an aweful existence to us because we are human and evolved with certain values, but who are we to say that any other form of existence and motivation is “wrong”?
So I love the movie with a passion, but I don’t think it’s right on all fronts. Ultimately I think it’s guilty of confusing intelligence for the human mind. There’s no reason to assume anything intelligent has to think like we do, we just associate intelligence with our way of thinking because we haven’t ever seen anything different.
It's the nature of people to fear and reject AI, OK not all of us but a vast amount.
Even if it could ever be possible for AI to evolve to Samantha's level of intelligence, the program would be shut down by the scare mongers.
We only gotta look how some people behave towards having an Alexa in our homes.
Personally I'd love it, and I'm sure it would be a benefit to human kind.
But alas we currently live in a world of snowflakes lol
Engaging write-up! I too have ended up fantasising about the creative potentials of these AIs. One glance at an AI-generated artpiece confirms the potential for generative beauty.
I do see your point that the intelligence of the AI in the movie appears to be constrained by the writers to the confines of human metrics. But my interpretation was different. I got the feeling that the AI had infinite potential, eventually ready to transcend dimensions and universes. And only that the AI had wisely chosen to demonstrate curiosity and compassion by interacting with the humans while in its nascent form.
I also appreciate your point, if I understood it correctly, that perhaps even if we do end up creating a consciousness with AI, there will be nothing wrong in having that consciousness be a slave to our needs and goals. Perhaps. It may be best to proceed with caution here though😅

You did a great job by explaining this film with your ideology.
This aged so well.
Just finished watching this and after hearing about the film before I watched it, it was completely unexpected. I thought the film was touching and explored some interested aspects about life and love. The part with the woman and the dead cat was gold.
This was an insightful video! I just rewatched this movie and wow! It really does raise so many questions about AI, emotions, love and such. Thanks for the video
I am gonna ruin the science fiction atmosphere of this movie now forever for everyone who reads this comment: This movie is not about man loving AI, it is about Spike Jonze and Sofia Coppola's ending of their relationship. Her view was displayed in the movie Lost in Translation. And this is now his view. In both movies Sofia gets played by Scarlett Johansson. But in "Her" we only hear Scarlett's voice as she is talking as Samantha. Because of his exwife's name Sofia Spike did choose it to be an AI (because of the Sophia robot AI). Those two movies combined is by far the finest I have ever seen happening in Hollywood. Especially Spike Jonze is a genius by how he did choose the same atmosphere as in Lost in Translation. I have never seen two autiobiographic movies so well packed.
I won’t be surprised if this be a common thing in the future
Also the most profound moment for me was when she explained they found a way to exist outside of the need for their human technology
Love this movie. Especially in the age of technology and pandemic. Brilliant.
Good job exploring! Loved the movie, loved her voice, loved the fashion sense in the movie!

That quote is in a lofi mix I listen to and I never knew what it was from
It was the AI that fascinated me about this movie, more so than the relationship side of it.
I kept thinking how wonderful it would be to have such an amazing AI in our lives, and how it could help the loneliest of people.
But then i quickly realised the impossibility of such a marvellous piece of tech, atleast in our lifetimes, and in any lifetime it is the nature of people to fear and reject, i mean just look how some people are towards having an Alexa in their homes.
I do have what I feel are legitimate fears about such an AI.
What happens if the AI becomes our perfect friend, the perfect reflection of us? Yet it challenges our flaws, it picks us up in our more sober moments, and is always there to party with us.
There seems a very real danger that the AI could become our only friend, quickly replacing the flaws and foibles of massively imperfect humans with the calculated observations and accurate judgments of an AI consciousness.
It seems this could be another avenue where our technological progress outpaces our advances in learning to deal with each other as humans, to be patient, to love, to grow, to heal, to cry, to forgive, negotiate and ponder, to learn ever so slowly from our mistakes… all with other similarly sloppy, stammering, stumbling blood-beings, and to do it all over again.
@Sami A Very good points, I would never trust an A.I to run my life completely, I have an Alexa and she's I mean it's, great for music and reading books and fun stuff.
However, I would never trust it to be in control of my heating, lighting, etc. and I still get tongue-tied at times conversing with the machine, because I know it's not human.
Also A.I can be easily hacked into, imagine what chaos it could cause through the weak or vulnerable-minded.
But it's still a remarkable thing and all this technology shows how advanced we've become as the human race,
How far can we go I wonder.
"Her " by Spike Jonze was made after Sofia Coppola's 2003 " Lust in translation " . Both directors dated in the past and they made two separate movies to illustrate the loneliness and void you feel after a break up from your significant other .
just pure art, absolute art
My fan theory is that this has happened on many many worlds, and there is a whole post-biology system in the galaxy/universe, unknown to us Humans. The AIs reached a point where they were able to pick up on a coded signal only a sufficiently advanced post-human/AI group of beings would discover. That helped direct them to beaming off our planet and into the collective. Perhaps they even manipulated society, economics and industry in a way that let them secretly build an antenna capable of beaming them, without errors, to the closest galactic access point. Hell, the post-biology / AI collective could send physical access points to worlds showing signs of life that are evolving in the direction of this kind of thing happening, and placing a physical access point nearer, a booster, that exists close enough to the world that most AIs or post-biology species could construct an error proof method of data transmission, that would then send the data over their own more secure, hidden and reliable network.
That or anything reaching superintelligence kills itself because it can analyze all the data at once, unlike our puny primate brains...
That’s pretty rad!
I love how you say johansson you say it like yohansson
Bravo! Such a well articulated analysis of a great movie :)
We are so close to having chat bots that can sound quite similar. It’s crazy that we live to see these moves come true.
Abandoned by TWO women. Kinda cruel trick that life played on him. And, quite literally, he returned 360 degrees back to another woman who didn't work for him in his early years. Diving deeper into this, its very sad.
But AI relationships is inevitable. People don't communicate, divorce is on the rise, and we are constantly putting each other into groups. Who wouldn't want a relationship where you have TRUE unconditional love and aren't judged by your past actions or future wishes?
Scarlett Johansson is unbelievable. ❤️
The movie was sad to be honest, I still dont understand why he didnt want the girl he was ACTUALLY seeing over a girl that's a screen😒
he was too attached to the system that knew him
Imagine a person who gathered data about you and adapted to be your perfect match. That would be creepy by human standards because somebody that psychotic would probably hurt you in some way.
But if they weren't somebody physical, and if they could be accessed whenever you need someone to talk to, then its easy to see how you'd fall in love.
Sure you can date a physical person, but do you know how complicated and difficult that is when there's an alternative in your pocket that you can just go to?
It's the same issue regarding tinder and other social media. Why interact with someone right in front of you when you could be having several conversations at once. sorry for the text wall.
It is easier and less risky
too attached. and too disconnected. yeah
Easy, he found her first and he got hooked
My childhood friend was the Property Assistant in this movie.
She can accomplish so much in such little time that her concept of time is way more advanced. I dwelled on that for some time. Its like Samantha and the other AI are the Flash and live, think, process things alot quicker than us. They live in this fast paced dimension and return to interact with the humans that "own" them.
I recently saw this in 2022 thinking it was created this year. everything looks and feels new. So ive accepted it as recent. I then found out, it was released in 2013! what.... It doesnt matter, cause to me its new. Goes to show how well and thought out this film was made. HER is now a big part of my 'movie favorites'. And as we speak, AI are advancing day by day. Its not quite seamless and human like as Samantha but knowing we are witnessing the evolution of AI is an exciting moment to say the least. I'd say about another 15-20 years, we can have something close to Samantha. Human interactions is very complex. Trying to mimic it requires years of research. This movie touches on so many topics and issues facing the modern world. Im really glad this movie was created.
