Her

Spike Jonze’s style can easily be described by one statement that he was a skater. He might have not necessarily been much of a skater but that was the culture that he was around, such as being executive producer of Jackass, working for skate magazines, and being a skate photographer. All his work has a relatively edgy feel and brings these topics that freak you out and get into your minds. One big thing I noticed about all his work is the hero is always a reject of society, which is easily explained by the skate culture. All the characters have shown to be weird or strange and not really accepted but always fall into some sort of love story even if it is not the main plot. Another idea that is consistent is that all his movies are about some world within our world whether its future or just something strange, like the half floor in Being John Malkovich or the world of a screen writer. These worlds tend to be possible but extremely highly unlikely, which with the idea of the heroes being rejects makes the characters easy to relate to. A small plot as mentioned earlier is that there is always some sort of small love story. They are often based on two rejects or some sort of forbidden love.

Where The Wild Things Are Being John Malkovich Adaptation I’m Here Her
 * The idea of making this children’s book into a more mature movie and making the story more relevant to us when we are older and using it through bring back memories
 * The ways he portrayed the people there with there very humanly characteristics as well as being a monster, this made it easier to relate to the scenario.
 * Being able to use that actor as himself in a movie is very big because not many movies did this during that time.
 * Having a world that was with in our world was very interesting because it is completely possible for the half floor to exist yet it probably wasn’t likely.
 * I found that making the movie a fictional movie about writing this movie made it really cool and shows his very edgy and strange style
 * The intro of the movie and how it ties to what is said later in the movie and how he makes the movie begin to make sense
 * The physically embodying the idea of sacrifice in a relationship using robots, I thought that was very smart and cool.
 * The last scene where the shot is framed so you don’t see the body of the robot and when he movies you see his entire body was removed because it helps create tension
 * One recognized part is when Theodore is laying on the beach and Samantha is creating a piece of music that is used to try to describe the scene when that is the real life purpose of the music
 * Spike Jonze actually plays the Alien child in the video game that is always cussing, which is funny because the roll is so vulgar.
