![]() She felt he was trying to stifle her creativity by getting her on Prozac. Theodore explains that Samantha is an operating system, and Catherine explodes, telling him that he never could relate to people. She signs the papers, then asks about Theodore's girlfriend. He thinks back to the good times they had together, and how he helped her develop her successful writing career. Theo, heavily into his relationship with Samantha, decides he is ready to sign the divorce papers, and arranges to meet his wife, Catherine for lunch. She admits to Theodore that she has become close friends with a female OS that Charles left behind, and Theodore then tells Amy that he is dating his OS. One day, Amy reveals that she and her overbearing and unsupportive husband, Charles (Matt Letscher) have had a fight, and he has left her. He chats with her as he walks to and from work, while most other pedestrians seem to be doing the same. Theodore continues to enjoy Samantha's company. Samantha explains that she feels much freer, not having a physical body, though she seems to be justifying it to herself. The four have a good time, with Samantha and Tatiana hitting it off while Theodore and Paul go for a stroll. Theodore explains that Samantha is an operating system, and Paul notes that most of the people in the office are dating their OSs. He is invited on a double date with receptionist Paul (Chris Pratt) and his lawyer girlfriend, Tatiana (Laura Kai Chen). Theodore's writing is going very well, and he is recognized in the office for his emotionally beautiful work. Samantha responds as the screen goes black. Theo describes how he would make love to her. She asks him what he would do if she had a physical body. Samantha becomes more and more intimate with Theodore, and asks if she can watch him sleep. Samantha asks him about his and Amy's relationship, and Theodore admits that although he and Amy dated briefly in college, they are only good friends and that Amy is married. ![]() Theodore later mentions this to Samantha and they talk about relationships. As they are about to have sex, the woman asks if Theodore is willing to commit to her, and when he hesitates, she walks out on him. To his surprise, he and the woman hit it off. Theodore is convinced by Samantha to go on a blind date with an acquaintance (Olivia Wilde) that his longtime friend, Amy (Amy Adams) has been trying to set him up with. Theodore is fascinated by her ability to learn and grow psychologically, and they bond over their discussions about love and life, during which Theodore explains he is avoiding signing his divorce papers, because of his reluctance to let go of Catherine. He decides he wants the OS to have a female identity, and she names herself "Samantha" (Scarlett Johansson). ![]() Unhappy because of his impending divorce from his childhood sweetheart Catherine (Rooney Mara), Theodore purchases a talking operating system with artificial intelligence, designed to adapt and evolve like a human being. Theodore Twombly (Joaquin Phoenix) is a lonely, introverted man who writes personal letters for people with difficulties expressing their feelings. Three of the many questions that may arise are whether Theodore's relationship with Samantha is preventing him from having a more satisfying relationship with a female human, whether a human and a computer operating system truly can be bonded in all critical aspects, and whether Samantha's quick evolution means she will evolve even further to her own form of self-fulfillment. Beyond the fact that Samantha does not have a body, they have to come up with ways of making the relationship into one truly fulfilling in every component. ![]() As Samantha is designed to cater to Theodore's needs, she evolves to a point of falling for him as well. He eventually realizes he is falling for his confidante who has become possibly his best friend, Samantha, the name he has given to the artificial intelligence operating system that powers all his personal technological devices. Beyond his purely platonic relationship with a longtime friend, the married Amy, Theodore is having problems moving onto other satisfying female relationships, either romantically or even sexually. He is hanging onto his marriage for dear life. Theodore Twombly, who works as a writer of computer-generated handwritten letters for clients, is an introverted man on the verge of divorce from his long time love, Catherine. In today's world, much is accomplished through the use of computer systems which use voice recognition, those computer systems which in turn communicate to their user often through a generated voice.
