In the same year, it was nominated for the best film in the Academy Awards. The film, independently written and directed by Spike Jonze, is an author film with a strong directorial style. At the same time, this is also a film that has been seriously underestimated. In the past six years alone, looking back at this film has been highly correlated and inspiring with reality. After decades, the film’s profound meaning may be realized. This is a film that explores the relationship between individual emotions and artificial intelligence. Nowadays, it has been able to see the superiority and convenience of artificial intelligence in the social life. While using smart technology, human beings also in turn examine the contribution of smart technology to human emotions and the boundaries that can be achieved. The film reveals the director’s highly developed society and human individual trends through the whispers of human-machine lovers.

The director Spike Jonze has been preparing for the film for 3 years. The whole film is decorated with warm colors and bright red to create a distinctive future sense of technology and immersive space for the audience. The rich color of the film uses the lover of the protagonist Theodore and OS1's smart girlfriend Samantha. The jumping lens switches between the real emotion and the virtual machine, with Johansson Scarlett's husky and sexy tone. The whole movie is very comfortable from the visual to the auditory. Whether it is the bright color of the protagonist's clothing, or the dim or brightness of the urban space where the living is walking, the film forms an extremely neat, harmonious and unified whole in the overall line and light processing, without the tempering of technology. The coordinated light and the super-saturated picture laid the foundation for the film to explore the subjective proposition, and also showed Spike Jonze' unique aesthetic and film aesthetics.

The film tells a story of a science fiction in which people fall in love with artificial intelligence. The protagonist Theodore is a gentle, inactive, introverted, but very romantic person. He has been working on a letter writing for others for a long time. His brush strokes are delicate and gentle, and he has been well received by many people. However, the reef of the marriage has caused him to fall into the inner dilemma. Theodore and his wife Catherine are a pair of childhood sweethearts, and the golden boy who grew up together. However, after marriage, Catherine’s career advances, making her work stagnant. The former Theodore and his wife gradually opened their hearts in the soul. The marriage of the two was soon be on the verge of collapse, and the difference is only a signature of a divorce agreement. By chance, the mourning Theodore saw an advertisement about the artificial intelligence system OS1. Theodore tried this artificial intelligence product out of curiosity. The intelligent system asked the basic information for Theodore. Quickly created a smart companion Samantha according to the personal situation of Theodore. Samantha has a charming voice, gentle and considerate, and humorous, which makes Theodore gradually fascinated.

In the future, there will be more and more people like Theodore, both men and women, who have the financial ability to be self-sufficient and the money that can afford to buy emotional alternatives. The younger generation is increasingly immersed in the world of self, and no longer wastes time on social interactions and the pursuit of the opposite sex. After all, one can live equally well without having to bear the burden of the other half. Therefore, the relationship between the future individual emotions and intelligent technology that the director tried to explore in "She" has gradually happened in the present, but Spike Jonze did not stop at the elaboration of this relationship. The reason why intelligent machine companion can become a tool for human emotions is that human beings are becoming more and more powerful in the present and future, and the emotional appeal of individuals becomes more and more, and the cost of emotional communication between people becomes more and more. The lack of trust between people and the instability of the relationship between the two sexes has led to the emergence of extreme anxiety in this impetuous society. Therefore, the emergence of intelligent machine partners in the film reflects the human trust.
