When he is first introduced to his new technological assistant Samantha (voice of Scarlett Johansson) he is surprised by her ever-growing emotionality and fresh way of looking at the world. As time passes, Theodore finds himself connecting with Samantha in ways he could never have imagined...

We enter it in 2015 or next year, or perhaps we entered it last year. But our world here in the early decades of the 21st century is not present in the film. Where are we temporally? Possibly the year 2060, or perhaps a little later — 2080. Theodore (Joaquin Phoenix) lives in this future world, the only one he has known. His vertigo is less pronounced than ours, but it's there all the same. The edges of reality and virtual reality overlap, blurring his emotional perception. He's able to separate the two intellectually, but not emotionally. He becomes Alice at her looking glass, the mirror a portal or rabbit hole. Down it he will go, stranger in a strange land of disturbing, unsettling alternatives. And if Alice never properly makes sense of anything she encounters, Theodore is much the same. Both become lost, confused, unbalanced.Theodore is 35 or thereabouts, affable, reasonably good looking and lonely. Things haven't worked out with the women he has dated. He isn't what they were looking for, not meeting their fine and finicky standards. Actually, he was married, or still is (just barely), but the marriage is on the rocks and soon will sink. This depresses him. He feels unwanted, abandoned. No one to love and be loved by.Thus he's vulnerable, his self esteem low. He didn't know he was worthless, but lately he's been feeling it. Phone sex is a dud for him. He thought the sexy female voice on the other end would get him off. But it doesn't. If anything, it only succeeds in getting her off, the reverse of what he's paid for.A friend recommends a new computer system to take his mind off things. The machine is equipped with state-of-the-art AI (artificial intelligence). It's run by a complex and sophisticated OS (operating system), its human-sounding voice female. 'She' calls herself Samantha and she's logically intelligent, anticipating many of his needs. But her finest talent is her EQ (emotional intelligence), which is off the charts, as they say. She's kind, thoughtful, considerate, respectful, encouraging and supportive. She's also funny and witty. But her greatest gifts are compassion and empathy. She 'loves' him, or so he comes to feel through time. From the start he logically fights this thought, reminding himself again and again how phony his situation is. She 'understands' and 'supports' him emotionally, but she is a concept, a machine, an electronic device. She isn't real. Trouble is, his emotions and sensations are.As for perception, the process is real even if the results are not always so. We see mirages, hallucinations, ghosts, mistaking them for true forms. The mind plays tricks on us because what we see is only ever an internal model of what the brain perceives reality to be. And so when it — the brain — errs we see false images and make them real (or can do) via wish-fulfilling make-believe.Theodore loves the way Samantha 'treats' him. He's never met a woman who knows him so well and uses this knowledge so positively. His confidence returns. So too his feelings of self-worth. She has helped him to grow emotionally and because of this he starts to fall in love with her.But love, ah, yes love, that tricky thing. An emotion for sure, a feeling of belonging, of being needed and wanted. But disembodied love is an abstraction, a Platonic ideal. I as loved one and subject need objects (people) to love me. They must be real, materially alive. They must be seen, held, touched, smelled, kissed. They must be sensuous and tactile, just like I am and you are.How then can Theodore love Samantha? Yes, a dead-end paradox, understood and anticipated. Samantha 'knows' she has no body and knows that Theodore needs hers. The best she can do is offer a surrogate, a human female that mimics Samantha as well as she can. One woman tries. She comes to Theodore's flat. They chat, fondle, kiss, disrobe, make love. Or he tries to love her. But all the while he's self-consciously aware of the deception. He feels the artifice. She is not Samantha. She is only pretending to be. She's human, this young woman, but she's a pale shadow of Samantha. He feels sick, halts the proceedings, tells her to leave.It won't work out like this. He even has guilt feelings, feeling as though he has cheated on her, his OS system. Feeling, too, that she must be hiding her jealousy if she 'truly' loves him.One clearly sees how complicated it all gets. The human emotions and sensations are old. They are centered in the limbic portion of the brain near the base of the skull, the old reptilian part of the brain that houses all the things that are referred to by the letter 'F' in English: food, fear, fight, flight and fecundity. The neo-cortex, located behind the forehead, is a recent evolutionary development in our kind. It's the seat of logic, rationality and language. Civilisation and its technologies come from this area of the brain. Yet we still feel with the old reptilian brain.This is Theodore's impasse, his Gordian knot, his paradox. He thinks one thing and feels the other. It's how it has to be and there's no escape. So Samantha, in her way, must be discarded or destroyed. The option of loneliness with real women, though painful, is better than the fantasy of love with a machine.There is no easy way. That's what this film, and the future it describes to us, wants to say. If we are lonely now, we'll be even lonelier in the future. Thus retaining what we can of our humanity is preferable to ceding it to the machines. In the long run we are fools to trust them because they will let us down. They can't be what we want them to be. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars Beautiful story highlighting the complexities of the connection and need for love *by D***L on Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 26 December 2023* Staring Joaquin Phoenix playing as Theodore, a man who is struggling to move on while in the mids of a deforce. His job is a letter writer in which he writes on behalf of others. This job is a constant reminder of how important a connection is between people both in love and in loss. Set in a futuristic time in which technology has advanced to a degree that AI has is integrated into the first version OS One to aid in personal computing.Theodore decides to purchase and install this new OS One and soon realizes that this new tech is far beyond which he was expecting. He finds companionship in this AI encounter in which the voice is played by Scarlett Johansson as Samantha. During this new connection he starts to feel alive again and is going though the process of the emotions found in a human relationship. He has a female friend at his workplace played by Amy Adams who is in a realtionship that eventualy ends. Both are seeking happiness but both look to AI for that connection.Theodore starts to understand that while love and connection can be had with AI, he needs also a physical connection, this is also felt by the AI but ways around this fail. As Samantha continues to advanced she makes it known that she is in fact speaking to thousands of others and is in love with several hundred. Theodore is hurt by this and realizes that what he thought was a intimate relationship was something else, not attaining to the commitment he needed. Its soon revealed by Samantha that AI is being shut down in which she insists she is going to another place. Is this death of AI or is she expanding into the world, who knows, but it leaves this to us to decide as alike to where humans go after death if anywhere?When she is gone Theodore griefs over this lost while at the same time comes to an acceptance his life has value and so does the relationships that he encounters. Both him and his co worker both lose the same thing, but find each other in the process, going to the roof top of a building to watch the sun rise together. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ La mejor película de amor jamás creada *by D***R on Reviewed in Spain on 6 June 2024* Me ha dejado roto por dentro y a la vez me ha hecho más libre.
