You see Theodore treating the object of his fantasy as a twisted object for him to abuse, and then you see him similarly used as an object for pleasure by a woman on the phone. <br /><br />Unacceptable to show pornography on the screen, but I think it showed itself to be repulsive. I think Jonez did well to show people as objects of utility, and that we need more than just useful or pleasurable relationships. <br /><br />The thought experiment he goes into from there with AI, I don't buy it, outside of a few misguided souls like we've already seen that want to marry a hard drive. I think Her could be a great apology for true, human friendship, and a refutation against this sapiosexual idolatry.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11374055365092543872noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11789157.post-65051613641721412922014-04-13T19:17:22.492-05:002014-04-13T19:17:22.492-05:00If you're invisible or repulsive to women like...If you're invisible or repulsive to women like I am, then an artificial one is very appealing.

ANY kind of PORN always crosses the line and should not be viewed. We can't drink a little poison and be OK. We can't sin a little and still please God.Sr. Helena Burns, fsphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09196121481873845379noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11789157.post-75812416895730824932014-01-27T16:16:28.675-06:002014-01-27T16:16:28.675-06:00Hi Audrey,
Good question! Yes. I do my homework ah...Hi Audrey,<br />Good question! Yes. I do my homework ahead of time, and this one said something like "fleeting graphic nudity" which could mean anything. If I suspect a problem, I either do not go at all or do not go in habit (if I think it will probably not be too bad, and if I think it's an "important" movie to see in order to be part of the conversation, give guidance, etc.--I'm an official movie reviewer for several outlets). If you'd like my take on how I as a nun, woman, Catholic & human being approach potentially salacious films, please see my write up at the end of this review: http://hellburns.blogspot.ca/2012/02/movies-vow.html <br />God bless!Sr. Helena Burns, fsphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09196121481873845379noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11789157.post-26830542744502301402014-01-27T15:51:58.106-06:002014-01-27T15:51:58.106-06:00Hey.

Must admit I'm a realist and gravitate towards romance movies with real men and women not with computer hardware, software, or peripherals. The Sci-fi Romance leaves me out in the cold, and would prefer more warmth certainly in Winter. My movie dollar has just been spent on "Nebraska," "August: Ossage County," and "Lone Survivor," and though not romances, portray the reality and fraility of the human condition as it is, not though the prism of (porn adorned) Science Fiction.
