It can disconnect and insulate people, sure, but it can also unite and bring people together.īoth Her and Lost in Translation contain characters that are disillusioned with others setting standards for them: people telling them how to live their lives, how to love, who to love, and so on.
It speaks in a more nuanced way about it, progress in tech isn't inherently bad, it's entirely what we make it and how we use it. Something I love about Her is that it doesn't completely damn technology. A big part of what Her is about is technology, so perhaps the detached populace is a look into how tech can be distancing and isolating. Interestingly, both take place in cities with rather uniform populations where not many people seem to be interacting with anyone else. I don't know how beneficial it is to compare the two, but I see some interesting similarities that might be of worth to unpack some of what Her is: The story, sure! I couldn't help but think about Lost in Translation while watching this movie (one reason being the two directors' history). And I was thinking about watching my first Fellini today (either Nights of Cabiria or Amarcord) so I might edit the post to include a review of that.Ī gorgeous film. Yeah, so I wasn't really able to get to many movies this week.
