2. Her
A movie that may not make you think about the reality around you, as with a lot of movies on this list. But instead should make you panic and run screaming from the technical world we live in.
When a lonely middle aged man hears about a new operating system that has the world’s first artificial intelligence, he immediately rushes out to get it. After spending time with ‘her,’ he starts to have romantic feelings for ‘her.’
There are many themes and points to this movie, but the one that stands out the most is simple and scary. With its parallels to the tech-obsessed culture that we’ve become, the movie shows us what could happen. Our attachment to our devices has rendered even the basic human interaction almost obsolete. Paving the way for loneliness, and isolation becoming the norm. It’s frightening!
