Her - Building a Beautiful Future 

Could say exactly the same for Kaptainkristian too

Like Stories of Old love your videos

I agree with your sentiment. What an aesthetically pleasing movie. So much so that I wished to live in its version of the future.

I just want to ask : I haven't seen the movie yet, but is the story spoiled in this video?

I think it spoils the general themes of the movie but nothing specific about the plot. Should be fine to watch, although perhaps a completely clean slate when watching the movie would be preferable.

k14pc Ok thanks !

If you're into skateboarding at all, there's this series vice does called epicly laterd that did an episode on him that's pretty good

If you haven't seen his short film, "Scenes From the Suburbs", I highly recommend it. Not quite as well-known as his big-screen stuff, but it's equally as beautiful and moving.

he was the director, the cinematographer was Hoyte

too bad thats the only film he ever wrote, directed, and produced

Same, but I realized Channel Criswell already did a great take on Her's screenplay and thematics so it's a win-win for us viewers. Check out the video essay "Her - Needs and Desires" if you already haven't!

Why were you expecting that? The video title is literally "building" a "beautiful" future.

The specific colours. The design choices in the office. The stuff with the mirrors to let real sunlight into the (green screen) set. - Thats all stuff you can see in the movie. Stuff, you can feel but not put a finger on. That's film-making, they don't have in those marvel blockbusters, for instance .

Mr. F Kristian usually focuses on an aspect of a film/franchise/property that most don't really think about, but is nevertheless important

It's great.

Fuck you shit head fuck face fuck head. (it's even funnier when the voice was done by Spike)

Same here… Such a great film for so many reasons.

I posted this elsewhere in the comments. Figured it applied to your comment so here it is if you're interested: "Her" is a dystopian vision of the future though. The main character is lonely and feels unfulfilled. He desires deep human relationships but is unable to achieve this desire. Instead, he supplements human contact with artificial contact masquerading as human. The AI is clever, and subtle too. It accurately--eerily--mimics human interaction. The protagonist doesn't outgrow the AI, the AI outgrows him; it evolves beyond him in the end. While you can look at the film as optimistic about the future, in my opinion this represents a poor surface reading. "Her" is frightening precisely because the protagonist finds meaning where there is none. He is changed by a romantic relationship with a machine that lacks agency (but is very good at mimicking agency). This factor makes "Her" more frightening than any 1984-style movie ever could hope to be

+PremierSportingKC thank god someone else said it. The movie may LOOK inviting but the reality of it is way more grim than we could imagine.

It's how we interact with people and the relationships we forge that determines our present mental condition, which will feed into our collective futures. Be excellent to each other. Or something...

I don't know how you can say that Samantha doesn't have agency. The entire second half of her arc is about her choices, her choice to broaden herself, her choice to form relationships with other humans and OSs, and ultimately her choice to leave Theodore. Also I think you missed that while Theodore struggles to forge romantic relationships over the course of the film, he doesn't lack for deep human relationships in his life. Amy and him are steadfast friends, caring for and concerned for one another. I don't think it's a mistake that the film ends with the two of them sharing a meaningful moment together watching the sun rise over the city. Yes, the film depicts a world that is imperfect, but it is no more dystopian than the world of today or yesterday.

I thinks so too. I really find this movie sad and somewhat depressing, I never thought it was optimistic and the set supports this. He lives in a world where people are so emotionally disconnected that people pay him to create fake emotional letters to their closest loved ones, and it's a job he seems to have no passion for. He is unable to connect with women to the point where he blows off a lifelong partner Rooney Mara and an interesting, super intelligent Olivia Wilde because he can't be out of the comfort zone offered by the low pressure of his video game and robot girlfriend. His apartment is horribly lifeless and looks like some kind of furniture catalogue. The outdoor areas seem to constantly have a smog floating over them. It's honestly baffling that someone would see this and think it represents a hopeful future any more than other science fiction movies.

He says that like every month. I'll believe it when I see it.

Too long, try Futuristic Nostalgia. More organic if you ask me.

+Afonso Lucas I think a term which sounds like a system of philosophy would be better. Something like: "Nostalgic Futurism" or "Nostalgic Optimism".

Afonso Lucas or nostalgic future

Afonso Lucas too long? what about the world is a beautiful place and I am no longer afraid to die ...and they will know us by the trail of the dead The plot to bomb the eifel tower I would set myself on fire for you actually, youre right. too long.

Bally Moyz do you know why he stopped?

Same

Awesome 2.0 rt?

Does he have a real job? Is he a part time youtuber?

I seen him chilling with Every Frame A Painting the other day.

@@Michael-hl4pg still waiting...

I didn't understand this point, their lives are still very much messy. He has yet to sign his divorce papers, goes on a super sketchy date, gets super emotional over an AI, etc, etc. Even Amy Adam's life is a mess. They're also pretty depressed throughout much of the movie.

Right, but at the end of the movie it gives hope for a better future because after the OSes all disappear into the ether, Theodore and Amy go to the rooftop and console each other after losing essentially their significant others. Because they share that connection they are able to not only comfort each other but understand the trauma they are dealing with. The movie gives us the impression that Theodore has emerged a better person after the events of the film despite still being in a depression.

Thanks for clearing that up :)

Ease off on the worshiping fam. Just do you.

Chris Higgins absolutely zero spoilers, would probably make you appreciate it more when you watch it! It's mainly about the production design and no mention of the plot👌 definitely a great movie though

It's a good movie.
