There are things in life we can\u2019t live without such as food, water and love. And modern society has invented one more aspect of \u2018necessity\u2019, the dependence on technology. He\u2019s completely enthusiastic about his new relationship, there\u2019s sparkle in his eyes, he\u2019s amused and exhilarating as a child discovering the joys of life, he\u2019s taken by love. Or maybe he\u2019s taken by fear of solitude and the natural need of love in the circle of life. At least that\u2019s what his former wife notices on him, and devastated to learn his lover is a computer program, she feels really sorry for him.<\/p>\n

Technology has been creating a new generation where its resources are used to make modern society rely on it, helping in many ways. But there\u2019s something strange also, when you realize technology became humanity\u2019s strongest and most useful ally, kind of an inseparable best friend which many would be lost without it and it\u2019s visible that society is moving forward to an era lacking real relationships, where social communications and interactions are developed through the device.<\/p>\n

Many films have examined this subject, pointing to its benefits and dangers throughout the year, and Spike Jonze\u2019s dark comedy gives the audience the opportunity to experience the highs and lows of this interaction between man and machine, seducing with impressive originality, making fun of the situation and sometimes looking at it with incredible fragility, and also opening space for an individual decision, rising different points of view, either a tragic satire of modern behavior or a Techno-Love-Story. The visual is astonishing, the futuristic design illuminates the narrative as it follows our lonely hero, Theodore, a man who works writing letters for much busier people, when he finds an opportunity of the ideal love with a computer program that creates the perfect partner, capable of organizing everything and understanding his personality and instincts. Jonze creates this allegory with a good balance, discussing the insecurity causing the lack of courage to connect to people face to face, pointing the need to rescue the essential value of romanticism and compassion, but also not giving up on the idea that technology makes (almost) everything possible.<\/p>\n

His wife\u2019s feeling of pity, played by Rooney Mara is the main characteristic in the film, while Joaquin Phoenix gives an extraordinary, heartbreaking and moving performance in perfect harmony with aspects of joy, madness, hopelessness and loneliness. Despite I\u2019ve got the impression he\u2019s an actor who doesn\u2019t really like to talk to journalists, he\u2019s undoubtedly a fantastic performer who embodies powerfully whatever he\u2019s assigned to. And here is no different. It\u2019s easy to identify and fall for his Theodore, conquering the audience\u2019s affection, and getting the recognition as one of the memorable performers of 2013. In the end, there\u2019s a message over the consciousness, trying to reconcile people, bringing everyone together, and making us analyze how far we\u2019re going with our modern habits and dependence on technology. Funny, sad and touching it\u2019s a Must-See! Now, wait a minute\u2026let me check the latest update.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
