Theodore Twombly is a letter writer. He is facing divorce from his wife and is reluctant to let her go. He dwells in memories of their days together as he goes about his life with a broken heart trying to fill up the hole with online chats till one day he buys an operating system. The operating system is a highly intelligent super brain and names itself Samantha. It is so designed that it has a voice and a personality that evolves as it learns. He falls in love with it (Her). Samantha, the operating software which has super brain but no body, wants to experience life the more she learns about Theodore.
Written and directed by Spike Jonze, ‘Her’ is a wonderful movie and would make you remember the movie, ‘You’ve got mail’ where two internet pals enjoy relationship talking through email, but otherwise it is so different in that the two cannot meet.
Set in future with a bit of science fiction, Her is the best romantic movie of 2013 and brings into perspective how we define our relationships and bonding in this age of growing social media and internet. We give it a 9.5 in a scale of ten- definitely a must watch.
