In a technology enriched society, with gadgets left and right designed to meet our every need, it's not hard to admit they are becoming almost human-like. And it's not hard to admit we've got deeper connections with our gadgets than we do with some of our fellow humans. Spike Jonze, director of Being John Malkovich and Where The Wild Things Are explores this concept in his new love story with a twist: Her. The film stars Joaquin Phoenix as Theodore, a lonely divorced writer, who develops the most unlikely relationship with his newly purchased operating system "Samantha", voiced by Scarlett Johansson, who is designed to grant his every command. A weirdly fascinating idea, it feels similar to the idea of falling in love with Siri, except Samantha's a little more advanced, almost human actually, and the sound of Scarlett Johansson's voice is there at the click of a button. The film continues to present itself with a strong female cast, with Rooney Mara, Amy Adams, and Olivia Wilde also starring. Her is set to open later this year on November 20th.
