Her (2013)

"the past is just a story we keep telling ourselves"



her touches my heart ever so gently, and suddenly i feel like a kid again who learns how to love, how to cope with losing, and how to bear with loneliness for the first time. her touch is as soft as the hazy and warm color palette in the film, but sometimes it can be as cold as the night sky on top of glowing city lights that theodore would stare longingly into.



just like the wheel of life that goes up and down, this film unveils the intricacies of human relationship in the most genuine way possible. spike jonze handled her with so much love and grace that it flows flawlessly like a thread that weaves into one beautiful piece of art - the art of making peace with one's self.



its poetic but it doesnt come off as pretentious, and its valuable without being preachy. i would also sing all the praises to joaquin phoenix and scarlett johansson for their immersive performance that breathes originality and blooming chemistry with each other. these collective talents and efforts together conceived one of the most raw and wonderful love stories that will warm every hearts out there.


her lets you love again, and yes i love her.
