Movie Analysis : The Movie ' The Film '

Working out conflicts face to face can and cannot make a difference in resolving the problem.“These face-to-face interactions build trust, understanding, and a real sense of a shared mission, and this has made all the difference in the world.” This direct quote from Forbes.com explains how this specific way can improve how the world communicates to each other. Many people will disagree with the previous statement, but it is just one of the basic elements of the social system. Admittedly, not everyone believes in face to face interaction. People can choose whichever side they want to, but people can solve their problems by talking to somebody.

The thought of an entire film being about a man falling in love with a form of artificial intelligence is a bit odd sounding because of its unconventional and untraditional nature. However, when you watch Spike Jonze’s Her, you realize that this connection, as peculiar as it is, is just as genuine as any other relationship. These types of human relationships are among the most complex, but emotional links in general have the capacity to evolve, grow, and change. A pair of twins who were inseparable during childhood but never speak in adulthood is just the same as a romantic connection being broken because the feeling was no longer mutual in a sense that, though they are different in intimacy level, both undergo changes because of time. The

Trainspotting presents an ostensible image of fractured society. The 1996 film opens, famously, with a series of postulated choices—variables, essentially, in the delineation of identity and opposition. Significant here is the tone in which these options are delivered—it might be considered the rhetorical voice of society, a playful exposition of the pressure placed on individuals to make the "correct" choices, to conform to expectation.

Theodore had just gone through a split with his ex-wife. Throughout the movie you see the kind of relationship between Amy and her husband. You see that there might be some differences and disagreements between the two. The relationship between Amy and her husband shows how imperfect love can be. To Theodore, he might of seen that they had a great marriage. But in reality, they were going through some difficulties. After Amy divorces her husband, she tells Theodore about everything that happened. The relationship between Amy and her husband at first seemed almost forced. As if their relationship was not as unique. With seeing their chemistry and comparing it to the connection Theodore had with Samantha showed what true love and happiness could be like. Something I thought about was what if we could program an actual human operating system to our specific likings. If we could make a life like robotic human to be the perfect husband or wife. One thing that will always be missing is that genuine connection you get when you first meet someone. I believe that is Theodore had not of meet Samantha the way he did, he might of not had the same experience. Theodore came back from a very disappointing date and came home to a new experience. For the first time in a while he was able to talk about himself and open up. Even though he was not communicating with an actual person he felt cared for through his operating system. This movie is a very emotional watch. You can see and compare yourself to the characters. There is many aspects to this movie that make very great points. From finding true love. To the future advance in

Her (2013) unlike its counterparts is set in a “near future” environment and depicts a society that is very much attached to technology. Her blends together the themes of love, loneliness and artificial intelligence (A.I) all of which are embodied through an emotional writer called Theodore Twombly (Joaquin Phoenix). At Her’s narrative core, Spike Jonze has rendered a progressive and intriguing love story between man and machine, and the human’s ultimate battle against isolation. In the wake of Theodore purchasing a newly released computer operating system, known as a “OS1”, Jonze is already informing us of Theodore’s need to fill a void in his life, this void being his loneliness.

In today's world we do have the ability to form relationships through things like the internet, but Her takes this a step forward. In the beginning of Her, the viewer sees how easy it is for Theodore to talk to someone. By just speaking a few words to himself, he is connected to someone through an earpiece and is able to have a conversation, albeit a meaningless one. This process is taken a step farther through the introduction of Theodore’s love interest and OS, Samantha. Theodore is able to develop a meaningful relationship with her, and they fall in love.

Her, a film directed by Spike Jonze, uses varied technique’s to get it’s idea of falling in and out of love with a computer across to the audience. It constantly makes us question what it means to love someone and how that affects who we are. Throughout the movie, how its presented, in terms of tone and mood, shifts over and over again. This particular scene is a more whimsical one, showing the bonding of these two characters.

British Philosopher Alan Watts chides American life choices saying, “For the vast majority of American families, what seems to be the real point of life—what you rush home to get to—is to watch an electronic reproduction of life … this purely passive contemplation of a twittering screen.” The evolution of technology, like the evolution of man, continues to progress further, attaining new advancements and becoming more efficient for human use. We live in a connected age, but people now feel lonelier than ever. Relationships that turn intimate through face to face encounters are now supplanted with relationships that depend on the use of technology to just interact. Primarily, those who are lonely and desire a relationship or even a friendship with others turn to technology to fill in the hole in their life. However, by ceasing human connection, people are isolating themselves from society and segregating themselves from the real world in place for a world controlled by unconscious automatons. Theodore Twombly, the central character in Spike Jonze’s romantic, science-fiction drama film Her, experiences this disconnection with the world. Understandably, Twombly attempts to curtail his loneliness and purchases a talking operating system with artificial intelligence. He soon develops an intimate relationship with Samantha, the name for his operating system, and eventually falls in love with it, signifying his complete detachment from society. Ultimately, it is predominantly

Technology is slowly overtaking the normality of relationships in our world. In the movie, Her, Theodore originally uses Samantha, a software program that listens and understands, as a conscious to cope with his divorce. Theodore’s character shifts from a depressed, heartbroken man to a light, hopeful character just by connected with the software program. Originally Samantha is just a software program, but throughout the movie she gains human qualities. Theodore uses his “phone talking” and “letter creating” job to connect over the system with Samantha, “waking her up.” Samantha’s sense of humor and sarcastic bullying allows the audience to view her as a friend, not a computer. In some sci-fi movies and books, the characters are portrayed

In the 1920s, a boy named Cecil Gains, was raised as a sharecropper at a cotton plantation in Georgia. During Cecil’s time here, his mother is raped by the land owner. Cecil’s father becomes aware of the situation and confronts Westfall, he is then shot dead. Cecil is taken in by the owner's grandmother, who trains Cecil as a house servant.

Is love a capability unique to humans, or are there no restrictions? And if there are no restrictions, what determines whether that love can last? “Her” is a quirky, truly 21st century story that breaks barriers by asking not who, but rather what we can love. Set in Los Angeles in the unspecified near future, Theodore, a lonely writer in the midst of a divorce, stumbles into an unprecedented romance with his Operating System, Samantha. The film raises scientific, philosophical, and even moral questions, while never straying from its true purpose, which is to examine not only the way we love, but the way we interact with other people in a world that seems to rely more and more on technology to function. Writer and Director Spike Jonze invites the audience to have open-mind and undergo an individual exploration to these questions through the eyes of the characters. The film showcases the infusion of technology into our lives and the challenges it creates for the way we look at the world.

This paper presents analysis of five movies and the analysis of every movie examined various aspects film form which range from visual design, literary design, editing, cinematography and sound design. First and foremost, we have the Lemon Movie which was produced by Hollis Frampton in 1969. In general, this movie is a silent movie and it has no sound at all. The Lemon Movie seems to be an experimental movie that was performed by having a static lemon. It is an ostensibly a one short film that represents a radical pairing of materials and methods. It gives a portrait of a superstar fruit which begins to show up in darkness before it gradually comes into sight. From the movie, we learn of how important light can be. It is however difficult to learn the flow of the movie since things seem not changing except for gradual process of coming to light then disappearing. The most interesting thing in this movie is how the lemon changes its outlook when the light comes and disappears.

The film Theeb, like other classical Hollywood narrative films, is governed by its appearance of being real and believable. The attempt to convey realism is through its narration. Narration is shaping our experience through film style (Bordwell 1986, p. 26). Classical narrative is made up of perfect balance and symmetry of style that aims to convey a message to the audience. It integrates all elements of the film to reassure and satisfy the spectators. The film follows a set of norms and standards that matches and gratifies the viewer’s expectations. Stylistic features are in the service of the narrative as they serve to convey information, helping the viewer follow the story and construct a coherent time and space. By the end of a classical Hollywood film, all questions that spectators have would be answered and they don’t have to leave the cinema feeling perplexed. Elements of style serve to shape the narrative as they function to read it for the audience. Furthermore, in the development of a narrative, every event is motivated. Thus, the use of cinematic style is generally motivated by the narrative. All of the above results in what Bordwell refers to as an excessively obvious cinema (Bordwell 1986, p. 26). Due to the dominance of the style, spectators come to expect certain stylistic choices for certain narrative situations. Hence, classical narratives focuses on the spectators understanding of the story in the film. Unlike films from the classical Hollywood cinema, it

A directed by Sam Mendes about a couple that faced common issues in marriage in the 1950 's. In the 1950 's many lived in suburban areas in the hopes of an simple, normal life with goal of safety and security. It was a means of surviving and having a peaceful life.

In the movie Her directed by Spike Jonze the characters “Theodore” portrayed by Joaquin Phoenix and “Samantha” voiced by Scarlett Johansson are in a relationship as human and operating system. The movie asks many questions within the plot such as whether Samantha is actually conscious and if their relationship with each other is a legitimate one. Throughout the movie the two are shown progressing romantically and sexually. Even as human and operating system their interactions with other people and the (assumable) end to Theodore and Samantha’s relationship are visible properties to how each progresses. Theodore and Samantha’s relationship is a legitimate one because it develops, fits under the theory of love as valuing, and goes under the definition of a healthy loving relationship.
