Her

I saw it a week ago, and Her gets better with age. it has hung with me. the inventive next logical steps in what we have embarked upon keep me thinking and wondering how close we are to that reality. and the 30 minute segment where Phoenix and samantha are becoming friends, where she best him out into the world, talking, laughing, smiling,  is the best part of the movie. to me more affirming than anything at the end. and Jonze's creation of the future world was beautifully analog, no CGI. the more i think about it the more i feel that S Johansson as the voice was the wrong choice. we all know that voice and what that voice looks like and to me that confuses the questions of attraction, friendship and love.
