Am I the only one who was a little let down by Her? I was expecting to really, really like it but felt like it only touched the surface of the idea without going too deep into it. Great performances and all, good movie, but the dialogue and emotions could have been much stronger.
agreed. I was pretty excited about it when I saw the trailer. It was interesting but definitely lacking in terms of depth and content. I know some people will disagree but that's just my point of view.
I just saw it yesterday, and I felt the same way...at first. I was expecting it to be one of the most fascinating stories I've seen, but I was a little disappointed after I saw it. I think the reason that happens is because there was so much hype around it for months. People made it out to be one of the greatest films to ever come out in recent years (especially by a major studio). So I think it is hard to not be a little let down.
But as the day went on, I could not help my mind from constantly drifting back to it. It is actually a very innovative, deep and thought-provoking story. There is a lot to it. I mean, just the cinematography alone was incredible. I loved the use of red (color of love). I loved how the OS could represent two different outcomes: 1. Society is/will become even more detached from society. 2. People are all look for some kind of connection/relationship. And there is a bunch of other stuff, but I don't feel like writing it all out.
Anyone else seen Lost in Translation as well? The whole time I watched, Her, I kept thinking of LIS. There are a lot of similarities. Her almost felt like a response to Lost in Translation. I'm looking forward to watching it again to see even more things I didn't pick up on.
