《她》:媒介化社会的技术焦虑与情感生成

Her:Technology Anxiety and Emotion Generation in Mediated Society

《她》以媒介为对象进行了一场银幕思想实验。从生成的“情书”到与人工智能的爱情故事,温暖、诗意的镜头描绘了以主人公西奥多为代表的媒介化社会中个体的情感之困,此种困境在某种程度上是现实媒介发展所造成的技术焦虑在电影文本内的自然延伸。可以说,该电影复沓了科幻文艺中的“弗兰肯斯坦情结”,并进一步探讨了媒介与人、社会的关系。最终,电影借西奥多与人工智能萨曼莎的爱情故事,将媒介社会中的人该何以自处的问题抛给我们观众,并提醒我们关注媒介本身。

Her conducts a screen-based thought experiment with media as its focus.From the creation of“love letters”to a love story with artificial intelligence,the film's warm and poetic cinematography depicts the emotional dilemmas of individuals like the protagonist Theodore in mediated society.This predicament is,to some extent,a natural extension within the film's narrative of the technology anxiety caused by the development of real-world media.It can be said that the film reiterates the“Frankenstein complex”commonly found in science fiction literature and art and further explores the relationship between media,individuals,and society.Ultimately,through Theodore's love story with the artificial intelligence Samantha,the film poses to its audience the question of how individuals should exist in media society,reminding us to focus on the media itself.
