I'M HERE - A love story in an absolute world by Spike Jonze

In Year 11 I chose to do a photography project around the post modern idea of box-heads and hidden identity. From doing research into box-heads I found this short film by Spike Jonze. Before watching the 30 minute long short film, I watched the trailer. (Trailer is found below, link from youtube)

The short film has given me great inspiration into the style of how it looks and how its messages and values are shown strongly throughout. I like its storyline and how it comes across as quite innocent but has a more serious undertone- in my opinion it represents segregation, perhaps how racism is, or it could show the absurdity of technology nowadays and perhaps how technology could advance in the future.
But of course one of the themes is LOVE (funnily named Robo-Romance)


"A library assistant plods through an ordinary life in LA until a chance meeting opens his eyes to a the power of creativity and ultimately, love. When this new life and love begin to fall apart, he discovers he has a lot to give. This short film proves that ordinary is no place to be."

"Unfortunately, the film’s sponsor/financier Absolut is strictly limiting the amount of screenings per day. As we checked, there were 700 or so available"

I found this very interesting and intriguing that they would limit the amount of views per day, but i suppose this would make it more special, making the viewer feel more privileged to have seen it, paying more attention to it, and could also make people want to see it more.
