Maybe it was the brilliance of Joaquin Phoenix as an actor, or the thought of losing Scarlett Johanson – but something about this film hit me right where it hurts. As affirmed by my classmates, making that claim is slightly ridiculous – how can a man and an AI chatbot have something even close to love? Maybe it was the aspects of Mise En Scene – which at times in this film are nothing short of stunning – or the metaphors and rhetoric explored in terms of the meaning of life, that made me question what I thought I knew. Regardless of what it was, I have to admit that the film was so well put together that it convinced me that what the main character and his computer girlfriend had really was true.

We are all here a short time and while, you know, falling in love with another human being is more than ideal, does it have to be the only way to find fulfilment? In retrospect, the tears may have been a little over the top – we all have our days, and that was clearly one of mine. The main takeaway is that if there are advancements in AI that make it so ever advancing, I need to stay far, FAR away for my own good. I’m going to wrap this here – things between me and my computer are starting to get a little weird.
