The impossible love.
"Sometimes I think I've felt everything I'm ever gonna feel, and from here on out I'm not going to feel anything new, just lesser versions of what I've already felt."
I always love how certain movies so related to my life, or our lives. This quote, sadly, captures how I feel and how I reacted to certain things. So I'm like waiting something new to happen.
Like a modern kid who no longer has taste in childhood games. Remember hopscotch, red hands, tag, house, rock-paper-scissors and my all-time favorite hide-and-seek? They have passed that phase and leap to smart gadgets of war games and bejewel.; we have passed that phase. These experiences have evolved into the cyber space, where human interactions is no longer required.
Set at a time of a near future, the individualist society can be observed through where people everywhere is constantly talking into the air with operating system and few people are interacting with each other. Technology development has evolved where instructions are given through human voice with less human touch. With our main character Theodore, he develops an unusual, unfruitful relationship with the voice of an operating system that equip with its own version of heart and mind.
Theodore's characters somehow reminds me The Trouble with Bliss. Theodore and Bliss, both dudes are sad characters. They both are confuse characters who have no clue at all. Both movies are a sad one-man show going through the rut and waiting something to happen (kind of like my life right now). I don't know if I should compare them; one is after his passion, another is after his love (if he is after it at all).
Sad character; sad love story.
