HER Understood Us Better Than We Realized

Her, Spike Jonze’s sci-fi romantic drama, seems to feel even more relevant today than when it was released in 2013. The film follows Joaquin Phoenix’s Theodore as he forms a deep connection with his computer’s new AI, played by Scarlett Johansson. Since the film’s release, we as a society have become ever more intertwined with our own technology and AI has started working its way into all facets of our life, making much of Theodore and Samantha’s journey feel almost prescient. So what is it, specifically, about this film that has kept it bouncing around in our memory banks for the last decade? This is the Total Take, where we break down the most analyzable films and TV shows of all time through visual storytelling, writing, symbolism, world, and impact. So here’s our Total Take on Her!

If HER understood us better than we realized, ARRIVAL explains why we still don't listen.
