I can tell how intelligent you are because this video is only 9 minutes long and says everything in the same time of what usually is just the intro to a much more unnecessarily long-winded--- like we'd be learning about the Romans at the 15 minute mark, just for "context"---- essay. But "brevity is the soul of wit". And you are sharp as a tack, my friend. You'll make a great film-maker, I can't wait to see what you'll show us all.

On the movie posters it's always lower case, "her". The title of your video has it in all upper case, as "HER". Ironically, this is the opposite of what people do with GATTACA.

You reminded me WHY Her will forever be my favorite movie. This is art

Mine too, and I'd love to have another film replace it someday, because it means I'll be able to experience something even more warm, more human, more beautiful, more lonesome yet even more expansive and all-encompassing than the masterpiece that is Her.

I love how personal you make these reviews and videos. It’s like you said in this video, you need to be an artist. And I’m telling you, these videos are art.

But Spirited Away has a more brilliant character arc 😕

*I was 40 when I first saw "HER" in the theater* . Despite being much older than you, the movie resonated with me in a similar way. There's something _familiar_ about it to all men. (I can't speak for women, but the perspective of the film is inherently masculine.) I've been through the ringer in life. Once you drift out of childhood, you're expected to no longer acknowledge nor interact with your emotions. You are an obtuse instrument from which society is meant to function. (not human) You pick things up. You carry a load. You jump in front of a car to protect women and children. You go to war. You die working a dangerous job. You fight predators. You sometimes kill. But, you don't feel. *There's been many times in my life when I was alone* . I remember all of them vividly - The night my high school girlfriend told me "I don't need you" after realizing how many men were attracted to her. The morning at the train station in South Korea after breaking up with my girlfriend. July 4th right after turning 30 listening to all the fireworks alone in my apartment. So many moments like these that are invisible to the rest of the world. We not only experience loneliness, but we experience the feelings alone. After experiencing a divorce in my early 20's, *I've been fortunate to have found love later in life* . I've been married for over ten years now to a very kind, very loyal, and very loving woman. Life isn't mean to be experienced alone. (These aren't my rules, so don't hate the messenger.) Our biology and physiology is designed to be experienced with others. If you are lonely and you are frustrated, know that there are others out there of the opposite sex who feel exactly the same way. Don't pressure yourself to find some perfect person or some perfect situation. Find that person who fits in your arms and who enjoys being with you exactly as you are. And, if you just want to be alone, that's fine too. *The problem with modern times is there is this wacky dichotomy of our existence - we have EVERYTHING and nothing at the same time* . We have unprecedented luxury, convenience, security, and access to food, entertainment, and sex unlike ever before in history. You can fill every second of your day with some combination of these things without ever having to leave your house. Young people are judged by this standard without most older people ever acknowledging all the things missing from young adults nowadays. It's simply not talked about or it's just dumped into some psychological diagnosis without any consideration of the existential portion of the problem. *Gen Z grew up without a nuclear family* , with absolutely chaotic shifting of gender roles and function within just a few years, financial uncertainty, directionless, confused, and frustrated. And now as young men, you're being told you're a problem, you're not needed, you're irresponsible, childish (especially if you're a gamer), and deserving of nearly constant criticism. I feel for you guys. Hang in there. Life is never perfect and never goes according to plan. Keep searching, stick to your own path, and you will find your way.

the moment you said “you don’t get to choose your favorite movie” i thought-la la land. it latched onto me emotionally in the same way her did for you. and then in the side bar i see you have a video about la la land too, so... i’m gonna go watch that now. thank you for sharing such a vulnerable (not) analysis of this movie, i think it was really compelling

woah man... I loved this video. I've only seen Her once all the way through. I'm scared to see it again because I'm worried I won't feel as much as I did the first time. This is considered one of my favorites and I think I'm going to watch it again soon. Thank you for the honesty and artistry. I loved this short video and connected with it.

I've seen it only twice now, but the second time was SO much more impactful for me than the first. Even if you've already seen it 10 times since you posted this comment, go watch it again, it gets better EVERY time

This movie changed me.

You pretty much told all the viewers what I feel and felt about HER. Damn it's a good movie.

I also stumbled across the trailer to Her as a young teenager. I remember being completely enthralled for weeks and imagining what I thought the story line was in my head. I worked up the courage to ask my parents if we could watch it. They then proceeded to tell me that they had already seen it and they hated it. I was disappointed but I didn't really care about their opinion on movies at this point (they also hated La La Land, like how could they-). I was able to find the movie and I watched it straight through at 2am on a school night. I only paused it to rub the tears out of my blurry eyes so that I didn't miss anything from the movie. You described exactly what I felt when I watched it. It felt as if I had lived through this man's entire life even though I was barely out of middle school. I was caught in this surreal/somber trance for days after watching it and I still haven't gotten over it yet. Thank you for making this video.

5:06 that's such an I'm-14-and-this-is-deep thing to feel and yet we all do occasionally even as adults, and we then feel shame for that, and then we feel shame for feeling shame. We should be kinder to ourselves and remember the child. We are care-takers of that innocent kid we used to be. Be nice to that kid. Don't give them a crap future. If you need to keep a photo of yourself as a kid around just to remember it, then do so. And for god's sake, keep a diary. You won't remember most of your days. You'll just have a vague recollection of having experienced certain things but all the details will fall away. (sorry this went somewhere else. but i'm for real, y'all)

This is my favorite movie but i was never able to put words to explain why it makes me cry, why it makes me laugh, why I think this is the best piece of art of all time, but you did with this video so thank you.

Thank you so much for making this. You perfectly summed up why it’s so many other people’s favorite film. I have never been more grateful for a KZread video.

I watch a lot of video essays and youtube videos where they discuss movies. But your videos are fantastic, truely. One of the best in my opinion. Thank you.

Wow, this spoke to me. It's precious how strong you are to show your emotions. Love that!

i just recommended this movie to my crush. it's one of my top favourites and i hope he likes it. also, your video meshes so well with the aesthetic and atmosphere of the movie itself. i love it! :)

"it was the first time I ever just wanted a movie character to hug me" that hit me

Every time I watch your videos I cry. I don’t know why. I think it is the way you articulate your words, like each word is delicately chosen to capture the emotions portrayed in this film, and does so perfectly, if not even better. But you also only come up on my suggestions when I am increasingly sleep deprived and in a deeply depressed state. Or it could be a mix of both. Either way, thank you.

Amazing video man, congrats, truly an artist. And the choice of the borders, its so unique, i love it

i love the personality you embedded into this!! true art

Love this man, the editing is great. Her is one of my all-time favourite films myself

Moon Song on the ukulele there at the end was a nice touch. Keep doing what you're doing. Your honesty is beautiful.

This video is 10/10, and I so appreciate the section on the soundtrack. I've always loved being able to hear the sounds of the musicians playing their instruments. The details of this film are really what makes it so powerful.

I’m so proud of you. You are amazing.

Beautifully personal, yet still relatable, tribute to the masterpiece that is Her. Loved this, bravo!

yeah, if you just saw this as your first Phoenix movie, it would blow your mind that he played Commodus

Since I watched this film I have always waited for someone to make a review of it. Thanks🧡

Loved this. I'll keep my eye out for your future videos!!

I've come to Her quite late - I watched it just last week. But it's an amazing film and tells this story that is amazing and interesting and kind of sad and uplifting (?). But it also foreshadows technological advances we are really starting to see in 2023 (people thinking about what AI might or could end up being). Enjoyed your review.

Indeed! People have been forseeing this sort of things in many ways. The relationships artifical being developed with people in show's like Star Trek with Mr Data or intelligent computer characters slightly reflects this. Yet they were colored by the need for character development, plot conflicts etc. 10 years ago people were beinging to get the idea of what it might be like, but even today we still have supposed proffessional reporters etc. having their first chat with an A.I. and completely flipping out. Or 'experts' telling us things like they just figured out their old A.I. has had the logic ability of a 9 year old for two years... *and they didnt know*. It brings to mind worrying about who's going to judge what an AI can and should be, who owns it, who has what rights to it, and how much your life can be affected by one.

Fantastic video man, definitely deserves more recognition.

I like the authentic way you present your experience / your emotions . I hope to see one of your own works in the future. It was nice getting to know you ( a little bit ) . Good luck 🍀 for your future...

Thank you for such an awesome video, 'her' is definitely one of my favorite movies and i appreciate you opening up.

You've rekindled my reverence for 'Her' - truly timeless art.

Her is a beautiful film because anybody can experience these emotions and upsetting situations. Eventually everyone can connect with the themes of this film. Why people come together, what do they want from each other and why they break up. Her sent shivers down my spine because the story is so realistic.

i don't usually comment on youtube, but damn, i really love your videos man!

I love this video man, this is great. So exciting to see someone put to words the way I also feel about this movie.

im not crying, you are.

I did not click on this expecting it to affect me so much. Thanks for being so vulnerable, it opened my mind and made me cry.

yessss baby, killing it every time. i love you so much 💕✨💕✨

A beautiful tribute to a beautiful film. Her is also my favorite movie of all time and I don't see that changing anytime soon. Thank you for a wonderful video.

The cinematography, the music, the actor, the movie is perfect.

this is an amazing video, dude. never seen her but will def add it to my watch list

You nicely voiced my own opinions on favourite films. Mine is Terrence Malick's The New World, and a lot of people ask me why, and I never seem to have a solid answer. Just that it means more to me than any other film - I connect with it on a level I hadn't thought of. The same can be said for almost all my favourite films. But this video reminds me that a film can be so personal - and that's beautiful. Keep the good work up! I'm going to re-watch Her as well - I love that film very much.

W O W I mean,wow!!!!this is the mosttttt beautiful video essay of a movie I 've ever SEEN! This little video is a masterpiece in itself....I watched HER a few days ago and it had an enchanting impact on me that I maybe yet hadn't been quite able to fathom....and this video compares to that too....my god!!!!

6:07 Truly believe that this movie prepared me for the last 2 years, having just moved into my own place finally after a break-up, with only my work and video games, due to circumstances of society

i’m 30, i’ll be 31 in july. i was in love when i first saw this movie. i secretly watched it by myself in 2014 while she was at work. i’m a huge jonze fan, i had to. i fucking cried bro. cried imagining what would be to come to happen to me. & the universe hit me with yet again another uppercut. it happened. that was 8 years ago & i’m doing well. but here & there i pop back into “her” just for that awakening i need.

I'm Impressed. in the first 24 seconds of the video, you already made me tear up, great job :,c.

My favorite movie is Good Will Hunting and I have the same kind of love for that movie that you do for Her. It comforts me all too often, I probably watch it twice a week. The dialogue, the emotions, the performances, that entire movie just spoke to me. I felt myself in Will, in every scene, every movement, every decision. I watched it for the first time when I was 13. I'm so glad people have that kind of a favorite movie, one that spoke so sincerely to them. One that is more of a friend or an everything. It's like those movies seek us out not the other way around. To be honest I haven't seen Her but I will. I swear I will after watching your video. Thank you for this video! I loved it!

Thank you for your analysis! I had a similar experience to this film. It is one of my all time favorite films of all time.

Enjoyed this so much. Thank you.

I want to thank you for this video, because I feel the same about this film, it heals me and makes me better, I want to thank you for this video, because I have been planning to make a short film for several months now, I wrote the script , but lately I've been sitting and thinking about giving up everything, because nothing works, everything goes wrong, and your video... again made me fall in love with the very idea of ​​filming, what films should bring to this world, I can say that I really needed this video, thank you

I loved your insight on this incredible film. I have to watch this movie every so often and it always has an effect on me.

This was Great review man. I saw Her last year on Netflix and loved it! Whenever I try explaining it to someone, they look at me like I have three heads.

the first time i watched it i literally wanted to write an essay about it. not for any particular reason, just because i want everyone to know how much i love this film and how i see it.

Excellent work on this video; fantastic film

I watched Perks of being a wall flower a second time because I really liked your thumbnail and I loved the movie so much more on my second watch, but I can honestly say that I love it even more now that I have watched your review and I followed the same pattern with this movie, I watched for a second time absolutely loved it and honestly like it even more because of this video, but to conclude I am going to continue to go off your thumbnails and watch more movies only to then come and watch your videos, I really like your videos and hope you put out more content, all the best!

Wow. I am taken away by this. Inspired by your insights, and how this film inspired you as a thirteen year old boy. You were perceptive and wise beyond your years. Kudos to you! And thank you for making this video.

Totally agree with you! Love your style too, keep it up!

I came across this video a while ago and here I am revisiting it again and I distinctly remember the way this video, ur perks video and ur la la land video made me feel which was very similar to how those movies made me feel. And I just wanted to let u know those videos were a big inspiration for me wanting to make videos too. Movies help see things in a different perspective and feel things outside of ourselves and I just remember watching your vids and being very inspired to want to make videos on my own didn’t start for nearly a year later and I’m still working on my niche but I just felt inclined to comment this because I rly love ur videos

I stumbled upon your essay after watching a forum on long distance relationships in which one of the panelists said "Her" was her favorite film because it showed a person blossoming as they had a romance with an entity that didn't have a body. Since I am struggling with a long-distance relationship at the moment, I was inspired to look at other folks who were inspired by Her and now of course I want to see rewatch this movie!

i come back to this video every once in a while cause i love it

this is absolutely wonderful, i watched this movie last night, I wasn't expecting much but I ended up crying my eyes out. have you done a video on Lost in Translation? id love to see your take on it :)

Fantastic video. Arcade Fire just dropped the film score on streaming for the first time.

This was such a wonderful video. I think it perfectly describes how I feel about this movie.

Instant sub. There is a KZreadr named Razbuten who does video game essays . But they are so much more than that. He is so good at writing in a way that gets you to think, and inspires emotion that it transcends the topic of the videos . Your video reminds me of that. You have a great talent for writing. You wanted to become a man capable of expressing his emotions and you did that wonderfully here .

Two of my favorite movies are Her and Where the wild things are. Both happened to be directed by Spike Jonze. Idk what it is but his style of directing makes the perfect emotional and deep movie.

Thank you for this amazing "video essay" about "Her." I haven't seen it yet but based on you review - it's now on my list of must-see movies. I love movies that make you think. Anyone who enjoys movies that make you think about their place in the world should watch "The Five People You Meet in Heaven." It's an amazing film that shows that no matter what your place in the world is - you will have an effect (either positive or negative) on those you meet.

Hey - following from what you got from Her, which is a personal favourite of mine too, I'd recommend listening to an artist you might not have heard of called Nick Drake. Especially his song 'Road', I think it rings true with some of the points you highlight with this video. Keep up the great videos!

you really nailed the essence of this movie for me, bravo sir

Loved this.

Damn good Narrator.

This movie also changed me when i was thirteen and saw it for the first time only a year ago. Its my favourite movie too. Subscribed :)

Her was my first film of Joaq too and that has always shaped how I took the rest of the characters he's played
