a good film makes you forget just how much effort and detail has gone into the design. Her was effortless to watch and yet so much attention to detail went into creating such a great aesthetic film

O Kaptain, my Kaptain. Where hath you gone?

[LikeStoriesofOld]

I just love the retro-look of Her! I always thought it was a much more realistic vision of technology in the future than all those hyper-modern ones. Anyways, you did a great job of breaking down Her's world and articulating why it is so inviting, thanks!

[c.l.]

I was expecting an in-depth analysis of the script or thematic material, but talking about the visual element was a fantastic surprise. Well-done.

the biggest thing I really noticed from Her is the color palette. all the desaturated colors with the "bright" pinks and reds popping out and giving the film some color -- even if they're toned down too. I really like it for some reason. it feels like Theodore's own personal color palette

I didn't even realize that they did half of the city building stuff they did. This really opened my eyes (as usual for your videos) and I'm gonna have to watch Her again
Keep it up <3

“Which is why 10, 20, or even 50 years from now, ‘Her’ won’t look like a dated vision of the future, just a charming alternate reality where people cleaned up their lives, and finally got their shit together.”

Devastatingly beautiful.

Wow-perhaps your best video yet! Great job!

I never saw this movie as depcting a bright future. With the subtle polution covering the city and how lonely the characters are portrayed i always felt a connection between some parts of my life and what was being show to me on the screen. But you are right, the film doesn't say those things are bad and instead tries to find the good in them(not the pollution). I guess i need a second viewing.

crazy, I was just rewatching parts of this movie yesterday

[Im_Ethanol]

God I miss this. Just like that a creator with a style and passion for video essays bursts on to the scene and just as quickly as it started it ended. 8 months still no new uploads. But I'll be waiting, oh Kaptin my Kaptin.

[VARIOUShorses]

I've loved the fashion in Her since I first saw it, I think it remains the only movie that has a genuinely believable aesthetic throughout and you just perfectly explained why. Brilliant video as always.

[FramesOfNick]

I'm in class right now and get a notification for kaptainkristian. I can't wait to watch.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY BTW OH KAPTAIN MY KAPTAIN

Funny enough, this is exactly the same vibe I get from your channel and some of my other favorite channels on YouTube. That feeling of reclining in my computer chair, possibly enjoying a drink of some kind.

It's that warm, cozy feeling that you get out of simple pleasures and I think that it's great that you and other channels can capture that with things as simple as calming music and smoothly edited videos.

"nostalgic for the future" - i think I've found my band name :)

[tkornfeld]

It’s videos like these when I catch myself marveling at the fact that I can access content of this quality for free. The internet is incredible.

[Beforethecredits]

Fastest release of Back to Back videos? I love it. Her is a great movie.

Happy Birthday.

[daniellasullivan]

Wonderful video. I really adore Her, and I remember loving the vision of the future presented in it. The color palette, soft music, "non-slick" technology, and even the jobs that existed all served to deliver a future that I could actually see myself living in. It made me hope for that.

[Gustavo_Mecha]

I’m supposed to be the one giving you a present 🎁 K. Not the other way around. Happy B Day Kap.

You're honestly one of the best (if not the best) video essay-er on Youtube. Please don't stop making content.
