I watched Her for the first time and fell in love. I love Sci-Fi and I love Spike Jonze so Her was the perfect match. As someone who’s been dancing with loneliness with loneliness, Her felt like a sympathetic pat on the back. It didn’t cure anything or stop me feeling lonely, it just felt like something to empathise with. I’ve fallen in love with Her and I can’t stop thinking about it.
Recently I’ve been trying to get listen to more soundtracks, as sound plays a huge part in conveying emotion, just as much as the visuals. So I sat down to listen Her’s Soundtrack and I don’t even know how to express the emotion. It so captured the feelings of loneliness and longing for company expressed in the film. The way it plays around with drone and string sounds. It’s so discordant but could not fit in better with the film. I love it. I love, love, love it. I feel awashed with serenity and calmness and any loneliness I felt from watching Her, has been replaced by a sense of understanding. This soundtrack is the most beautiful experience I’ve ever had. Nothing I can say will ever fully explain why I love this soundtrack or this movie so much. It’s too beautiful for words.
