dafrey23 Posted January 20, 2014 Share Posted January 20, 2014 So the Mrs. and I went and saw Her Saturday evening. Here's what we thought... Her Cast Theodore Twombly - Joaquin Phoenix Samantha - Scarlett Johansson Amy - Amy Adams Synopsis The story of a man (Joaquin Phoenix) who divorces his wife. In his search for a new woman he purchases a new operating system for his computer which is designed around artificial intelligence that can "learn" about you to better serve you. He forms a strangely close relationship with this operating system. Review - 4-1/2/5 stars It's an interesting look into what could be the future of computers honestly. While a touch on the long side it was really good. I would expect to see quite a few of the operating system ideas proposed in this movie implemented into Windows and Apple computers as well as mobile devices relatively soon.

potpest Posted January 21, 2014 Share Posted January 21, 2014 Watched this last week, greatly acted and directed but I couldn't take the concept seriously at all, which spoilt the enjoyment for me. I really hope this isn't a glimpse into the future because its a pretty sad and lonely place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ginseng Posted January 21, 2014 Share Posted January 21, 2014 @Pot, those were my thoughts exactly. Pathetic was the word that came to mind. I know, harsh. Wilkey Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dafrey23 Posted January 21, 2014 Author Share Posted January 21, 2014 Don't get me wrong, I'm not thinking people will become attached to their computers emotionally like this. But I do think we will begin to interact with our computers more like this where we speak and they do things. The dictation thing alone would be wonderful for me at work. I know there's software that can do this now, but it's not nearly as seamless as this. And telling the computer to search through my emails and find which ones I can delete would be pretty cool. There's just some interesting functionality and interface ideas in there that I think will become reality as we all know Apple and Microsoft and Google are always looking for new ideas.

MIKA27 Posted January 22, 2014 Share Posted January 22, 2014 I really hope this isn't a glimpse into the future because its a pretty sad and lonely place. I agree...BUT, wonder if it is a good thing for those people who are lonely and or alone? Someone/thing to talk to, interact with rather than live in a quiet home all alone. There's an awful lot of elderly who have no family, even younger people. I wonder.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
