I just watched this film "her" and my mind is blown, the best film I've seen for some time. I can't believe how moved I was by this film, I actually came to tears at 2 different points which is very rare for me. It was exceptionally well made with great acting by Joaquin Pheonix and great voice acting from Scarlett Johansson. One of the things I loved most about this was that it was just so original, I've never seen a film like this and it provoked so many thoughts about technological advances and where they might lead and so many other things. I just want to hear what other people thought about this film so please share.

Dude turned down Olivia Wilde, for his computer man. Hetero-Normative Males beware. This movie will disappoint you.
