Her (film)



Watching the film Her will definitely bring about emotion with its audiences. It was just a perfect mix of great writing, great directing, and a great screenplay that gives us a deep and thought-provoking film. So join us this week as we discussed and talked about Her, the Her movie cast, the missing Her movie soundtrack, and giving our final Her film review!

What is the film Her about?

Spike Jonze (Source)

Spike Jonze's film Her is about a recently divorced man named Theodore Twambly, installs a new personal assistant operating system. Eventually, he falls in love her (she names herself Samantha). They help each other grow as Theodore helps Samantha evolve beyond her programming and Samantha helps him navigate through his post-divorce emotions and loneliness. We think that one of the main messages this movie is trying to get across is that you are allowed to be more than what you are, especially if you are limiting yourself.

Her Movie Cast

Joaquin Phoenix as Theodore Twambly

We think Joaquin did a fantastic job in this film, despite how odd he can be sometimes. The one thing we do know is that he really does commit to the roles he plays. Like many of the other cast members, he did a great job conveying the emotion and feeling of his character and the film to audiences.

Scarlett Johansson as the voice of Samantha

Johansson was actually not the initial voice of Samantha. It was Samantha Morton who originally voiced this role. However, later on, Spike Jonze decided in post-production that Morton didn't provide what was needed for this film and with her blessing, Johansson was casted as the artificial intelligence character.

Amy Adams as Amy

While Adams has a smaller and supporting role in this movie, she did great just like Joaquin did by conveying the emotion her character was feeling to the audience. There was actually a bit of a side-story cut from this film about Adams' character's documentary that she is making, which obviously would've resulted in more screen time for Amy Adams, but Jonze had the original two and a half hour runtime cut down to 2 hours with the help of Steven Soderbergh.

Her Movie Soundtrack

Arcade Fire and Owen Pallet composed the music and score for the film Her.

For some odd reason though, there was never an official soundtrack released for this movie!

Why not? Who decides these things? This music for this film was actually very good in our

opinion and we think the soundtrack would have sold well! There have been rumblings of it

being released, but no good solid leads at this point.
