Her, 2013 - ★★★★

This movie, which was made in 2013, may happen to be more accurate and relevant today than it was in 2013.This is a romantic sci-fi with too much fairy dust, if you ask me. It asks good questions, but also answers them like a good, tamed, made-for-the-masses film. It stops short of throwing any real punches. It's holding back.It made me think an entire essay, but I don't want to give it the credit for that. These thoughts were in my head (and I suspect there's a good chance it's in your head too in this day and age). It gets some serious slack though, because it was made more than 10 years ago, before AI was really a thing, and back then, this was visionary.What I like and don't like about the movie in terms of 2013 is that the concept of monogamy is the default. Samantha, the "AI" in this movie, is developing beyond the traditional monogamous relationship, while Theodore stays with the traditional concept. I like this idea, and on a personal level as a non-monogamous person, I agree…
