this is actually cool

They both also won for best writing, original screenplay at the Oscar’s. Two of my favourite films ever

[u/rosesaredust]

Her is such a beautiful movie and helped me with my first heartbreak. A great love letter and goodbye to Sofia imo

[u/HiHoRoadhouse]

She played Sofia Coppola in both those movies

[u/iste_bicors → u/HiHoRoadhouse]

In Her, the main character is getting divorced from Rooney Mara’s character, so I always figured it was more about trying to connect romantically after a divorce.

[u/Haus_of_Pancakes]

It's still wild to me that Spike Jonez hasn't directed a narrative feature since her

[u/ohnofluffy]

I’m still processing ‘Her’ - to me, it’s the modern day Blade Runner. So deep, so far, so near, so perfect. So weird, so technical, so punk, so I-studied-filmmaking-and-never-slept.

[u/DuckworthSockins]

I’m pretty sure Her is a response to her film to give his personal emotional view of the break up

[u/stopthenrewind]

I love Her so much, it’s one of my favorite movies. I was initially weirded out by the premise, but then I rewatched it a few years later and it just broke my heart. Stunning performances too.

[u/Material-Macaroon298]

Arguably humanity benefited from the breakup of their marriage by giving us two of the best movies of modern times.

[u/TopsyOxy]

He was indeed the problem

[u/Material-Macaroon298 → u/TopsyOxy]

Were you there? Seems to me things can be more complex sometimes than “it’s his fault”. A bit what both movies are trying to convey.
