Spike Jonze's Her shines

I have always loved Spike Jonze. I think he makes really interesting films that push what we would consider to be normal. He tells stories that challenge traditional conventions and i have always appreciated that in a director.

Adaptation and Being John Malkcovich are two of my favorite films for exactly those reasons. Adaptation even takes it a step further by blatantly employing all of the traditional Hollywood techniques in order t open viewers up to how formulaic movies can be.


Her is no different in what is trying to accomplish.


Her was one of my favorite movies of the year and I think that is because it was super weird.
