How incredibly ahead of its time this movie was. 2014. The word of the year in 2023 is AI. And they explored the depths of where AI was going all the way back in 2014. Pretty incredible.
Joaquin Phoenix plays a man in the future that is dominated by AI. The world he is in is a lonely world, and mainly because of technology. Everyone sticks to themselves. Or.. AI. In his lonely life he turns to an AI for a companion which blossoms into him falling in love with her.
It explores a number of issues as the AI grows smarter and more human like but also because AI is so powerful, he does not realize that he is not the only one. It is a bit heart breaking honestly but also super though provoking.
The constant battle between HUMAN connection and technology is explored deeply in this very good romantic sci fi picture. It is an EXCELLENT FREAKING MOVIE, that I enjoyed start to finish and leaves you with plenty to debate and think about. My gf and I argued for 30 min after about it and if that doesn’t mark a good movie I do not know what does. That is a review.
