[@jakofozz]

This is one of the best movies I have seen to date.

[@tsabbitdama2006]

agree 🔥🔥

[@Midnight_online]

i still think about her everyday

[@MoonTea510]

Same Marco... Same

[@lauraeiriarte]

Make those thoughts kind, loving ones and you will find tranquility.

[@danielmendez3098]

so true

[@groverkiinmuppetborn714]

I too think about this movie everyday

[@histeriamassal2290]

Had 5 years relationship and we broke up in 2018. I still miss her.

[@pgjpoems]

Love isn't just hard to find but it's also hard to keep. That's what I got out of this.

[@danieladelafuente8908]

When Her came out on theaters I had just broken up with my boyfriend of a year and a half, who I met on a semester abroad. We only spent 5 months physically together and our relationship was mostly based on Skype. This movie GOT to me, it was TOO REAL for me. I was SOBBING while the credits were rolling. SOBBING. My friend was so freaked out, she didn't know what to do. It was so so so weird, I had never had that with ANY movie. Amazing film.

[@daniellelevinson694]

I understand how you feel. I was in love with a man I met doing a language exchange on Skype. It felt very real, and I hated to realize how impractical it was.

[@michaelsmith4973]

I watched this movie last night and it instantly jumped to my top 5 of all time....I was in no way expecting this movie to touch on so many different emotions and impact subconscious thoughts, wants and needs...the acting was flawless and the director's vision was never once mistaken. In my opinion one of the best movies of the current generation and will surely entertain for generations to come....but wtf do I know lol

[@johnnyrockwood]

I shot some of the interviews for this video, it's incredible to have talked to so many brilliant people. The piece is beautiful and poetic, the perfect companion for HER.

[@patchandy]

yea!

[@october1st-films]

The movie "Her" changed the way I think about films, i love that movie so much. Great documentary!

[@yousefalnajim]

Her is a movie that fascinated me, to me it is an absolute masterpiece and Joaquin Phoenix performance was magnificent.

[@WednesdaysAttack]

I watch this documentary ever so often, I really think about it and how others perceive love and I guess we all need love but achieving and keep it is one of the hardest thing. It's mostly the middle part that really gets to me, all these raw emotions and feelings and even though they are someone else words, I can relate to them all. Such a powerful, beautiful piece relating to a fantastic movie.

[@pills2749]

WednesdaysAttack exactly. when they start discussing why relationships end and the after effects the emotional toll is ineffable and you sorta put yourself in this circle of pain that you want to get out but you don't want to at the same time because you don't ever want to feel that way again. it's hell.

[@chaucerguy1812]

Am I the only one who wants to be loved, but when someone arrives and gives us what we want, we immediately close ourselves? I really think I have a problem with intimacy.

[@StefRust]

This film hit me hard, as i kinda went through the same thing… love is love even if she lives million miles away….

[@Millz5231]

When she said love me long time....

[@geralttherivian736]

Lmao noted and lul'd at. XD

[@mckendrick93]

I completely lost it there.

[@davidjenkins5914]

I had to go back when I first heard that lmao

[@whichadrian]

instantly scrolled down to find a comment that had also noted that; did. LOL

[@TerryRajsombath]

Lmao. I cringed so badly, haha.

[@Loreli640]

One of the most brillant scrip's of all time

[@riparianlife97701]

I love that Jonze got to have his own film relationship with Scarlett Johansson after his wife, Sophia Coppola did so well with her. It was a wonderful creative 3 way.

[@RazvanSuioganTiberiu]

Does anyone realises that this movie is not just about the fact that love can be felt in different ways! There is a scene where Theodore starts panicking because Samantha (O.S.) was missing and he was running desperately and then at some point he looked around and saw that nearly 95% of the people that he saw were doing the same thing... Going home or going somewhere talking to their O.S. and I think that's when Theodore realised that there's nothing special except the fact that he feels it that's why the movie ended the way it ended. Showing people that love should be love! ... someone who loves you the same way back and to grow old together!

[@sherrykao978]

I've been married for almost 2 decades. One thing I've learned is to never expect your spouse to fulfill your needs most of the time. And, there's more than one "soul mates" we can bond with. Finally, love is conditional in practice.

[@BigGeekEmpire]

I'm so scared of being hurt again. Idk what to do. Somewhere between I want someone but scared of it being all for nothing again. I just don't know.

[@thesaexplorer]

I'm in the same situation too...

[@BigGeekEmpire]

J.R. Ewing yeah man. I think I'm starting to realize that maybe that's just how it is. Maybe I should stop looking for the end all girl of all girls and just accept that sometimes relationships end and you just move onto the next one. I just need to accept that if I ever get into a relationship it probably won't last but I should enjoy it while I can. Idk, i've only been in one serious one. I have no idea what it's like to have a second love or all of that jazz. But i'd like to think there is someone for me worth being with the rest of my life.

[@PaudinsDrawings]

I share your feelings

[@leslymoreno4124]

I do too. I do feel there's an eternal solitude that you kinda sometimes figure out with a big, fat lie you eventually call love.

[@lauraeiriarte]

+BigGeekEmpire Don´t be scared of feeling. everything is finite, even relationships that last will end in the death of someone. but its worth it if its healthy. love is beautiful.

[@BenPyman]

I really like this quote: "Now you have Tinder, where sex has become so profoundly technologically transactional"

[@GlitterGhoul]

This made me sad and I don't know why.

[@JoostRingoot]

Because it makes you realize how thin and fragile love is.

[@MrToandry]

And how wrong may be the idea we have from Love and Relationships :).

[@rblas5964]

You know why. Life, relationships... Not always has a happy ending. But the good and bad in everything is always there. The hours... the moments....

[@usmc1127]

It’s been 10 years since I last looked into her eyes, held her hand, or told her that I love her... and I still think about her. I think about her every day.

[@hiheyli6685]

This video never loses its poignancy for me. I refer to it every so often to simultaneously give me hope and bring me down to earth about love. Also, anything with Marc Maron is good with me.

[@pills2749]

Haley Samsel same here. i don't think our parents know exactly how hard it is to maintain and keep a relationship. so many distractions so many ways for people to hurt someone. love in the modern world is hard.

[@smellybum7]

Morbidly beautiful film, thanks. I loved the flow of the movie, the sensitivity given to utopian technology and the dialogue that develops the characters reminds me of a Barbara Kingsolver novel! And the soundtrack is insanely good! Anyone know of any films (short or long) with similar themes?

[@xstoofpeer]

Only one that comes in mind with me is Ex Machina

[@FilzSkillz]

I don't think there are many movies with similar themes to Her in the sense that you're thinking (except maybe Ex Machina) but I can recommend some romance movies which are equally beautiful and unique: Before Sunrise/Before Sunset/Before Midnight (trilogy), Lost in Translation, Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, Y Tu Mama Tambien, Harold and Maude, In the Mood for Love, Beginners, Amelie, Lars and the Real Girl. Some of those are absolute gems of cinema, you should check them out.

[@00HoODBoy]

great list!! maybe add carol, 500 days of summer ( very misunderstood in my opinion), annie hall, manhattan, midnight in paris, casablanca , anomalisa, 45 years

[@smellybum7]

Big ups to both you two. I've already watched 3 of the titles selected. Someone also told me about the TV series black mirror, which I highly recommend. Thanks again ✌

[@tylerqiu9859]

pretty eye opening documentary. love in the modern age is really bizarre and strange

[@ItsElliotGough]

I really can't wait to see this movie. This was an incredible video. Thank you.

[@dangusmane]

Youre going to love it

[@OmicronFra]

I like the fact that there are many points of view because it's not easy to speak about love from just one experience, the comparison is essential to understand from our mistakes or to elevate our relationships

[@PoyanPourshian]

I came down here to write exactly what you did.

[@richardmoores]

This movie makes me feel very happy and very sad at the same time.

[@andinomm]

The story and the idea of this movie are perfect. The director knew how to shoot it in high quality and nice colors to send the feelings. My respect gained!

[@Capgungoesbang]

The thing about love that has been the most difficult for me is the fact that no matter who you are with, even if it is your soulmate and you've never had any problems... you will die one day and you will be separated no matter what (maybe if you're lucky you can die by your lovers side) but it is still SO important to go through these experiences with relationships and love because love is ultimately what makes the world go round.

[@sng3939]

I only saw this film recently and I was blown away. The story of an insecure male, finding love in an os and how that helps him to love again by the end. Such an amazing film.

[@supergirlnancy1]

Firstly, the movie was amazing and i kept thinking about it days after i saw it. The loneliness and the love in this movie how it was put was just.. Beautiful. I can relate to things said in this documentary and it's definitely something great to talk about. ;)

[@histeriamassal2290]

I accidentally met someone on an online English club and we had this kind of relationship similar to ‘Her’. I’d never seen her face, we just called each other every night. Fell in love with her voice and we’re really connected. But I decided to end it bcus having long distance relationship was exhausting.

[@ANeewHope]

I watch this every now and then and it always feels like the first

[@JabbatheBen]

This is one of the greatest films I've seen in a while and possibly the best love story I've experienced. This movie was very emotional for me and this video was a very interesting insight into how we define love; it really helped me to further define my ideas. With that being said, I couldn't stop laughing when the Asian girl at the beginning actually said "he love me long time."

[@ofthesic0133]

i have her tattooed on my arm, this movie connects with me on a spiritual level, thank you spike jonze

[@deadduck12]

This was terrific, very well put together. The different insights that were put forward were very interesting and provided a lot of thought. Keep up the great work.

[@karmaisspacingout9055]

love is such a fucking scary thing, thinking about it while watching this video brought me to tears. this video is amazing and really made me think.

[@KLK01]

Having a phone or any electronic device telling you it loves you is deep shit. Weird, funny, scary, and any emotion. I wouldn't throw my phone away or replace it anyway I could imagine in the future humans will separate more and more from each other do to AI. I feel like the future is the future of human interaction.

[@dallia1]

This movie makes me fear love, but I love it for that

[@TomCL-vb6xc]

i3su _ It makes me cry every time I watch it. The film’s message isn’t even all that original, it’s just conveyed in such an effective way. It’s soul-crushingly sad that we all know deep down we crave human connection more than anything - it’s within our nature - yet we are straying further from achieving it. We exist physically yet we aim inwards and communicate metaphysically.

[@GigiCorrado1]

I saw the movie . It made me cry. I realize I'm not the only one. It's happening . I miss HIM!

[@Verosonin]

Thank you Lance, for making this and so many other great creations.

[@Subparanon]

Fuck relationships. There are a reason there are so many divorces. You can love somebody, and still love them and they you, and still end in divorce. You can be two good people, full of the best intentions, and still end in divorce. Hell a divorce might be the only thing that allows you to be in the same room with that person, once the relationship starts to end. That seperation from everything that was making you miserable gives you a chance to heal inside, and you start forgetting the horrible moments, and at some point maybe even be friends with your ex, where as all the fighting leading up to the end, there will be a point where you can't be in the same house with them. Where just looking at them makes you feel like you're going to become irrevocably broken. I was watching HER and seeing all the good and I was like 'here comes the bad' and I am glad to see the movie is accurate in it's portrayal of love and the inevitable outcome of it. The carrot and the stick are joined. They are one thing. You cannot have the carrot, without the stick. There is no such thing. The joy and pleasure and sensual feeling we have as human beings is only possible because of our ability to also feel fear and pain and doubt. Our ability to feel goes both ways, boundless joy, and endless despair, all part of the same thing.

[@planetxtk7567]

Humans are amzing.

[@saintmuerte13]

not only I love the interviews and thoughts these people have, but the well done camera work filming them is great

[@linkstering]

Im 23 and i never had a girlfriend and when I tried getting close to a woman she lied to me right in my face on a daily basis and was never my friend she patronized and hurt me and worst of all is a hypocrite. Ive been depressed for over a year now.

[@julianmx13]

Hope you’re better, dude. A lot of people have been there, I have. Get back out there, you might have to face it again or be better, but it keeps life interesting.

[@spencersuen3360]

this is the most human a film has ever made me feel

[@jacobelijahunica3012]

Lol I clicked on this video thinking it was a video essay analyzing Her & Love in the Modern Age. Instead I got this beautifully genuine film that talks about love in a deeper level. But dang, this hits home.

[@bomo8254]

This was really well done. Having seen "Her" last year and watching this same video back then, I still get impressed by how thought-provoking this is. Thanks

[@Kinghenhog39]

"Love is the antithesis of fear" I love the film and this documentary and Marc Maron. Will I ever love another person like I love these things... I hope so and more. So many of these stories really hit home and made me feel less alone in their honesty. We accept the love we think we deserve. I hope I deserve more in the future. I will always love and think about Her and all the hers in my life that changed me forever.

[@SEBASdoELECTRICSLIDE]

love is so hard

[@sstaycool]

"Bright, pure feeling, opens the viewer's eyes to the reality that perhaps we will live in the future .. simple and complex as life."

[@30Homegames]

Great work by Lance Bangs. Having access to all these creative minds for such a sensitive topic. Was great seeing all the perspectives

[@bananabanana1158]

this movie left me feeling so many different emotions at once.. I might watch it again.

[@bananabanana1158]

you should ;-;

[@thomasroeder1]

Watched this movie once and don't dare to watch it again. I don't think I'll ever be in the mood for that kind of experience, now that I know it's there.

[@MrStreetballer5Official]

I saw this movie a while back it was honestly a great watch the ending really pissed me off though as their wasn't enough info on what happens after that something which im not going to ruin.

[@guitarnoob77]

Is this a good movie to watch with my date for valentines? Or is that a bad idea?

[@MrStreetballer5Official]

Carlos Sandoval Well the build up off the relationship is cute and happy but the last 30-40 or so minutes of the movies are really sad and the movie leaves you a bit sad as well as curious so I would not say this is the best movie to watch on valentines day. You can always pre-watch it a determine for yourself tho.

[@Macsization]

I felt cheated...

[@MrStreetballer5Official]

SAMEE

[@rjsloan8589]

hottest person in the movie, they never show. the ending?? i never woulda guessed it was all just him dreaming

[@madtownjeremy]

Such a beautiful, beautiful film.

[@damien_strix]

I'd kill to find the soundtrack for this and "her".

[@damien_strix]

i believe the soundtrack for this is is the same for her

[@Leticia-vh8ev]

Essa foi a melhor coisa que eu assisti hoje, estou assitindo no trabalho e simplesmente me debulhando em lágrimas, as interações, as conexões tudo que tem a ver com amor é tão lindo e admiravel 🥺

[@honeysuckle2434]

This film is awesome. It shows and embodies the feelings of someone who stayed in love to a person

[@CHCxo]

The film is outstandingly gorgeous, and I adored this too.

[@rdskn4eva]

I dont wear shoes, hair is for loosers...haha

[@Staymellow88]

i saw this movie for the first time in 2014 i kid you not after seeing it i was miserable for three weeks this movie made me feel i don't know lonely and disconnected

[@mirandababbitt8337]

Really wanted cereal from the start of watching this, but couldn't look away. Now that says something (to me). Cannot wait to see this.

[@michiepooh]

10:13-10:50 is how I feel! I wonder if he is an INFP.

[@MrBabadax]

It's so weird that I came across this on U tube because I just finished watching this film only minutes ago. The movie itself has me so intrigued that this technology probably won't be that far off. The relationship he has is without boundaries and if this technology were actually available I could see loneliness as a thing of the past.

[@Alexa-qb8zt]

this has been my favorite movie for so long, now that I've been in a long distance relationship that just ended. It hit me harder after watching it again.

[@stevenlopez1st]

Marker 6:56 “We fall in love with one version of someone and then we expect them to stay that way, but they never do, so I suppose that were suppose to learn to really embrace the unknown and embrace evolution and learn to kinda flow with it as a living organism. -Olivia Wilde

[@brandonlove982]

I'm going to passout Lauren Mayberry I LOVE YOU!!!! Can't believe she is in this. Chvrches yesss!!!

[@phyrisl2]

I loved this movie. The best thing i have seen in about a year.

[@Thethingsaretricky]

Watching this makes me feel terrible. I've never actually been in love! I've had crushes on women but never did they feel the same, and never do I have the courage needed to determine if they do or not.

[@WiseSilverWolf]

1:27 LOL she said "he also love me long time" :P

[@Patrick-jj5nh]

That's what you took away from this? This is how we know you're 14 or younger.

[@gregorycarnielutube]

Pat H I'm struggling to understand what she said. 'You can have many soulmates, but you'll only have one *** in this life." Any thoughts?

[@AnthonyDanielII]

Pat H lmao

[@WiseSilverWolf]

Gregory Carniel I think that she was trying to say that you have many friends that understand you but you only have one person that is meant to be your significant other.

[@WiseSilverWolf]

Pat H Im actually 29, but I have a sense of humor unlike some people who cant get a good laugh out of the little things in life.

[@michiepooh]

Oh man. This makes the movie linger even more for me. Love it. Can't shake the movie.

[@thomtalbot]

Love is getting harder to find. I look for flaws in people that may allow them to see through mine.

[@delrey874]

underrated movie.

[@RandallHammarsten]

"love me long time" 1:49

[@sethreynolds3885]

Easily depicting how there is more to consciousness than how we perceive it in the physical world. We define reality through our 5 senses. It seemed as though all the OS reached an enlightened state of mind and left the physical world at a much faster rate then we humans do. It was as though the SO's could experience the entirety of what Life had to offer/teach in such a short time span by not being bound by our biological senses and information processing abilities. Also introducing Alan Watt's consciousness throws the idea of the film having a spiritual underlying meaning into your perspective. Amazing film and a fine testimonial for the coming New Age.

[@hezaz4991]

this opened my mind but i'm getting depressed watching this haha

[@hayderrp]

to everyone.

[@Attackit2113]

The love that you withhold is the pain that you carry.

[@scientifico]

I saw the movie and I'll tell ya, when I compare what allowed me to fall in love when I was younger compared to where i am today is still the same even though, I guess I'm not. Yet as a grown ass man, I can't let myself be giddy, madly in love. Women of my mature age will look at me as some freak, some kind of fool. I'm a grown man and I'm not allowed to be a fool in love anymore, it's not "fitting." So how do I find love now? Is it an interview? Do I list my accomplishments?

[@DirtyBeachKids]

This is great, thank you

[@lanzsaberola]

Really beautiful love story.

[@sethdamaskinos8868]

Such a brilliant script! Totally deserved the Oscar.

[@1jckinnick]

Was that the girl from the 2 Live Crew sample?

[@AnthonyDanielII]

You are a clown for that one hahaha

[@Squirrelisious]

this video just made me rethink my life

[@MoveLikeThis]

Wow, this is amazing. I really appreciate that I can walk away with so many new ideas to think through.

[@JoeM370]

The lucidity and insight of this content are refreshing. A book with related subjects expanded my intellectual landscape. "The Art of Meaningful Relationships in the 21st Century" by Leo Flint

[@Oatmilkstrawberry]

my favourite movie all the time

[@onee]

I like how in this world where you can even start a relationship with a computer, people can't write their own personal (handwritten) letters, but have to hire someone to do that.

[@TheCreeperloc13]

love this movie. thank you spike jonze

[@MaxAttwood]

Bravo. Amazing piece of work.

[@peterski72]

Such a fabulous story. Really wonderful dystopia.

[@Dutchhero2]

What if you never had a relationship? It's a missed opportunity to not let somebody like this also come infront of the camera.

[@desolatesoul1845]

This was awesome. Nice job Lance Bangs!

[@waterbetrayer]

Reading the comments, now I know I'm not the only one who gets this movie :)

[@SkeletonBunny2000]

I have seen a lot of movies and I'm guessing you all have to. I have a lot of favorite movies because I could never decide but now that I have seen this I can honestly say this is my single most favorite movie of all time.

[@christiandulce9376]

Having love in the modern world now can be so far from our reach.

[@CeleritasSquared]

OMG Who burst out laughing when the oriental woman said "love me long time"!! that was classic. lmao, awesome!

[@NathanBonline]

"Love is not necessarily enough" Very true. It really isn't

[@isaiahheaden]

The shoe line was real. So dope.

[@OscarWhiteman]

that was tight. thanks for sharing

[@MSaifan93]

Very sad movie...I actually felt choked. A true work of art. One that sparks all sorts of emotions and thoughts about love, about letting go and moving on, about modern relationships and really the whole cycle. Loved it but really sad and the ending could've been better.

[@fat80832]

i've got serotonin syndrome atm cause i did really strong md 2 days ago & my new love interest who was absolutely perfect in my eyes went silent on me, i came out of a 5 year relationship early last year and never felt the way the new girl made me feel i don't understand why she's gone silent on me, but nonetheless you feel so human at points like this

[@fat80832]

& i haven't stopped crying for two days

[@reisbob7786]

woah. that's deep man. any updates?

[@williambell9951]

Hands down the best movie I have ever seen

[@potato511]

This movie was amazing in my opinion. Yes it does address how humans are becoming more involved with technology but it also gives humans some modesty about their own consciousness. Plus it's a great love story.
