"I'm Here" 2010 a short film by Spike Jonze FULL 

Agreed!

This

Absolutely

😥

What a beautiful quote 💓 it feels true because I'm older now and empty as I can be. I was never this way before.

You feel empty when you dont have a relationship with God. Jehovah, the Great Creator of Being, made us with an innate desire to worship him. You can fill that emptiness with love, relationships, money, things, traveling, work, etc... but it will always be empty. This system of things is designed to dampen your spirituality so you lose sight of true meaning: a relationship with our Maker.

Then watch Lost in Translation and see where he got it from

Modest Mind25 saw it, and tbh I was a bit bored 😂 I definitely prefer “Her”

@@modest_mind2526 i love how her was a response to lost in translation

It's crazy that he can go from Jackass and skateboarding videos to amazing films like Her Lord of the Wings

Don't forget sci fi in its realism.

tell me about it. Actually, if you think about it, I think that robot has a better love life than almost anybody. When have you been in a relationship where the guy would give up his whole clunky square man body for the girl and she would accept it and carry his head around still loving him?

Love is: A hit of oxytocin, nothing more, nothing less. Your kind of "love" is the love in this short film, imaginary. _The best you can hope for is friends for life._

@@quietackshon you cannot be more ignorant if you tried

...So well said.....

Love is an illusion; but it takes two people to make that illusion a reality.

@@quietackshon Somebody got his heart broken...

Someone gets it! Nicely articulated. Thanks :)

Best comment I've read. Thanks for striking even deeper on my feels. :)

Also could add the thing about she getting into trouble and he lending his parts of body to her: she gradually becomes sort of his way - ending up that they both just have their own minds, but to bodies, he's got none after being there, and she's lost a lot of herself as she was in the beginning. I guess he didn't plan to but he's changed her anyways.

YOU KNOW WHAT HAPPENS WHEN RUSSIANS DRIVE !

Prob the best and most thought out comment and analysis of this film, thanks

dude, why am I not surprised I just randomly found you on a spike jonze video...

I wonder if it's some kind of reference to the tree stump in "her" (sad winter scene). I have a feeling i'm missing something to do with that tree stump, this might be it thanks :)

+Lynn Preston a ninja bro, a ninja... :'(

+Swastik Casey "Knock knock." "Who's there?" "It doesn't matter because no one asked you." *drops mic and walks away*

***** Interesting, I overlooked your comment. Apologize for the tardiness of my reply. Anyway, I really can't help but think how lonely you must feel inside. As for me, I really do feel bad for you. Must be a rather dark life you lead with no feeling and just meandering along in your life and not really feeling anything. Sorry Swastik. I hope you find love one day.

hmm. Look at that 44 upvotes to your none. Interesting how others think differently than you.

Bad Mako , I heard that, bro'... Some definite leakage going on here...

Amazing explanation. Thumbs up!! :)

....that's fuckin great pops...and sometimes I think I got it all covered....best reply here....

🤣

SAME, I see it more as a relationship that you give so much of yourself to the other person that you forget about yourself

+neal kelly thats exactly what I walked away from this short film with... that he had so much to give, he gave all of himself to essentially not the best person.... though fun etc she deprived him of himself.. the innate things he needed.. leaving him wounded and less than his original self was to begin with.. in the end... she has all of him...... and he has none of him......

+neal kelly You're right of course. But there is something more going on between them, something unquantifiable. The way the make each other feel is a kind of deep eternal peace that they won't find anywhere else. Have you experienced that? Not many people can make you just feel... Right. Feels like forever. Finally at peace. I like to think that's the reason he gives to her of his own body. Also, that's the only reason he can make her accept the leg when she is trying to refuse it... she believes in his dream (an artifact of his soul) so totally that she cannot, out of love, refuse to let him give the leg to her. And the last accident... well, that wasn't her choice. She should have been dead anyway - you don't suffer an accident like that in order to take from another person. But by then she was lights out and couldn't refuse, and he could. So he did.

great comparison

@@SLSMe begon whot

You are sleeping [x?] You pick up this working girl Who's hooked on smack Who hustles and scores That's all I do, she says She says, ten bucks for head, fifteen for half and half She says, three hits a day at thirty-five per You say, that's seven tricks a day at least But she says, sometimes I get lucky Once this guy gives me a bill and a half just to eat me Only time I ever came You figure you can save her You sell your color TV That keeps her off the streets a whole day You hawk your typewriter for one jobe Then your shotgun, your watch A week later you say, listen I'm a little short But she says, no scratch, no snatch You say, look, it is better to give But she says, beat off, creep One night they spot you on the street in your skivvies Trying to sell your shoes You tell them who you are But they nail you Then she happens by And she says, Christ you look fucked She says, hang tough But you don't say anything You just think, what a bum wrap for a nice sensitive guy like me You are sleeping [x?] You do not want to believe "The Gospel According to John" PQM - You Are Sleeping (PQM Meets Luke Chable Vocal Pass) ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-1HyS80Uf9a8.html

Hannah Meyer YES GIRL YES. "Meet me in Montauk."

Lilac Renewal That movie changed my life... and that scene where Joel is a baby is just the best. Hahaha

OMFG, thank you sooo much for reminding me of that wonderful movie. Our teacher showed us that in Pyschology and I loved it. Can't believe I forgot about it

jase276 you're profile pic nearly gave me a heart attack. haha But yeah, it's incredible. Glad I could remind you of it. :)

Hannah Banana Hey, I was born like this!

Or even an auto body shop

Yeah, this kinda confused me. I would think that a robot would be able to buy a spare arm or leg, or a whole replacement body if needed. And if Sheldon has a whole bunch of spare replacement parts, then where did he get them from? Maybe they didn't have enough money to pay for a replacement...

TheSuckerOfTheWorld No, no spare parts.. Just feels.

TheSuckerOfTheWorld probaly too busy eating pancakes

Booman they probably wouldn't make spare parts for robots because humans look at them as insubordinate and don't want them to live anyways

a director is an artist

Chandler Muriel Bing Yeah... :/

Chandler Muriel Bing yeah, but reading it like this, it seems like the others director are just business man(few maybe), that's all.

really true

and an excellent film director... neither titles should be discredited.

This short film reminds me of Never Let Go with Andrew Garfield too!

+Chad Everhart Thanks, then.Veery nice! You all ar top notch ^^

+L. F. Febro with a director like him it was easy lol. glad ya liked, I did, I thought it was creepy cool & very much so a Spike Jonze piece lol Have a great day & Happy Belated Thanksgiving everyone XoXoX #Namaste #ॐ #IAmThatIAm #ChadEverhart

hmm. NIce, Chad! Who did you feature with? Main Character or crew in production line or something?

+L. F. Febro everyone featured tho there's really only like 2 main characters .. different than anything I've done for sure, it was like a collaboration kinda thing, we all knew the outcome in a way.. which isn't anything new, it just felt different than anything I've done before or since. he was great to work for & I know I've said I'd totally work for him again, I hope I do.. XoXoX #Namaste everyone

Thanks for the feedback, fellow!

Glad you like it dear x

samantharose you're right it is! And yes, some of their films seem to match pretty well sometimes, they're both very intense.

Andrew Cogliano Yeah that's a pretty awesome idea..

Andrew Cogliano yeah! I think that's the idea. We are all metaphorically patchworks of the people we loved and loved us. Because even though people break up or not end up together, a part of them stays with us and a part of us stays with them.

Holly shit dude, that's really awesome xD

Oh, Andrew. What a lovely thought.

checkout human chimera, it not exactly what you say, but its interesting

There is truth in your words. Whether she was deliberate in her actions or merely compelled by her own insecurities, the story can be seen from different perspectives. Sacrificial love is indeed a noble thing, but upon reflection, it's also a tale of vulnerability and need. Ultimately he remained happy unto the end, but did she understand the depth of his sacrifice? Hope would suggest she could. Reality may reveal something else.

(atleast to me)

you need to watch some better movies homie

IntuitiveMindsMusic to be fair I was only 16 at the time. I didn’t know any better.

So would you say that you didn't like Her? I just watched it today and since then I can't help but look more into Spike's work.

Gio Cervantes I haven’t seen it since it first came out but I remember liking it. I was just making a joke about how I was naive by thinking it was the best thing ever.

@@BabyBoyBluessss Ah, yeah. I understand.

i think more childhoods need this film.

Even me too

Pretty much what I thought= There are no spare parts in this world, the girl is self destructive and the dude is dangerously selfless. Good short film though, with some beautiful things and it makes you think.

Beautiful. Thank you for writing that out. I have been in that exact relationship (emotionally). At what cost do we love our give of ourselves?

Your entitled to your opinion, here is mine. What the difference between analysis and an opinion? Analysis is the process of breaking a complex topic or substance into smaller parts to gain a better understanding of it. This does not involve your feelings or side of the story as an opinion would. Your opinion would be what you thought of the topic or substance. Your sentence starts with “Well I see” which is an observation that clearly continues to show your opinions and how you clearly felt about the movie. My opinion on your "Analysis." It’s not about finding his sacrifice heroic, or what the views of society are pertaining to your SALUTE. Sheldon inspiration was his own, he found it within himself, although he wasn’t aware of it and was going with the flow. What he wasn’t aware of, was that fact that he fell in love, until later on when they both realized it. It’s about his happiness, and what made him happy. His love wasn’t obsessive and he did not suffer any loss at the end of the movie but gained a love. A love which in these days rarely lasts and are hard as well as rare to find. He was not blind, and as you clearly stated “UNLESS YOU WACHED THE FILM” Sheldon made a conscious decision as you saw when he thought about it before he made those sacrifices.What wouldn’t you do for someone cared about, mom, dad, sister, brother, daughter, son, significant other? When you go out, you never lost your shit, like a phone or wallet? Threw up, slip on it and broke or sprained something. Ever been in a car accident or in a fight? Shit happens man. Especially when things are going so right or wrong and when you least expected. Did you ever have someone to help you out? “If she loved him the way she said she did, she wanted him whole. Maybe this was what love meant after all: sacrifice and selflessness. It did not mean hearts and flowers and a happy ending, but the knowledge that another's well-being is more important than one's own.” ― Melissa de la Cruz, Lost in Time I ask you ZO, How is selflessness in love righteous? My answer. Within each of us there is an intense need to feel that we belong. This feeling of unity and togetherness comes through the warmth of a smile, a handshake, or a hug, through laughter and unspoken demonstrations of love. It comes in the quiet, reverent moments of soft conversation and in listening. It comes from a still, small voice reminding us that we are brothers and sisters. -William R. Bradford You mentioned “outside box thinkers.” To truly look outside the box one must look inside and truly master the knowledge of what is really in there. It is only then that your brain can make connections it normally wouldn't make. Outside box thinkers, don’t think alike, if they did it, they’d be called a Consensus. What are short films? Short films are creative works that can express so many things, they are not only meant to entertain people but also make them think about the message and the lessons the movies attempt to convey. Some may get it, some may not, and some may keep an open mind, and think OUTSIDE THE BOX and actually comprehend the subject matter without ignorance.

You mentioned “love is blind they say.....But I say nay to that....I'll never be that blind... I can thank the stars for that.” Stars among other things is what you’ll see if ever it finds or you it.

Rin zler Whoa, Calm down ....You seem a bit agitated - Something in your past? Don't be so Nit-picky/On the offense you'll drive people away. I can honestly say I will never be that Crazily in love. It will NEVER happen. Everything Needs limits EVEN *LOVE* "Opinion" Or "Analysis" Same Difference, In my thoughts if I make it so. This is the internet I can choose to start sentences any-which way I like. Grammar is important.... however....I'm not trying to please the masses or the Zealous defenders of the English language. Eloquent always by the book misers can take a leap of faith off a cliff for all I care. I wont agree or disagree with what you say because we all have our thoughts on the matter...So Analyze and correct me with ALL your self righteous fury!!! The Male in my view was a COMPLETE tool, The Female... Disaster given robotic form. Its also in my view that he did not need her (Debatable). He needed a healthy balanced friendship, a change of environment and some good ole self motivation. Last time I checked outside box thinkers sometimes meet those who DO think like they do. No one is 100% unique - You are bound to find someone on this planet who thinks like you do in some small/large way, language barriers or not. There are no true Monopolies in this world. Society by large disapproves and suppresses of anything that deviates from the norm, MOST will not get it, Some keep an open-mind, Only a few think outside the box.

Probably really expensive.

That's what I was thinking the whole time. Like, he said he had a bunch of fix up junk at home? I figured if he can find that stuff he could go through some landfill somewhere and find himself spare parts. Dude, just grab a bunch of spares. Make her an entirely new body.

Joe Doe That wasn't the point. That was the only way he could show love. By sacrificing himself for her.

Its okay im here ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

***** The point was sacrifice as means of affection.

Nice analysis, thanks.

Too Late, but at least I am intelligently cynical ;o)

+BearWindAppleyard Of course they could have done that, but that's not the point of the movie.

+BearWindAppleyard Remember, the dude said (something along the lines of): "I had a dream where everyone offered you a leg, but out of all those legs you chose my leg." He said that that dream was the best dream in the history of dreams. XD (what a sweet patoot)

But he could have replaced his missing leg after giving her his

At the end there is a taxi waiting for them though, you know, implying something

I totally agree! Her was such a spectacular film!
