what’s this tender, soft, beautifully color graded dream? I haven’t felt such tenderness in so long and I’ve hardly ever seen something as romantic as this. this movie was so ahead of its time: letting go of love and finding someone new is so terrifying and looking for it in AI is something that is getting realer by the day. it’s scary, dystopian, unethical. why did this movie made me not feel any of this? maybe I loved the relationship between Theodore and Samantha because it felt so incredibly human. I resonate with his loneliness, his desires and fears so I think that’s also why I never thought of him as “weird”, sympathy and empathy can really make you understand anything.Â
PS: my love for Joaquin Phoenix seems to be growing by the day
