A New Movie Puts the Inner Lives of Smartphones in Sad, Sharp Relief

This is the lagger for Men , Women , and Children , the new movie from Juno music director Jason Reitman . It ’s all about how the internet has irrevocably changed a mathematical group of people ’s interpersonal family relationship — and though histrionic , it does n’t seem terribly far from the truth in its portrayal of gadgets and sadness .

Screens are everywhere — they’re sort of our 2d brains — but pic have only begun toshow them in a not slow way . Just watching someone school text does n’t operate , but have the text pop up on the concealment ? That makes dozens of sensory faculty . face at House of Cards , for example . In the first look at Men , Women , and Children , it seems as though Reitman has had to take that mind a little act further .

It ’s not a movie where you have people texting and you just need to know what the texts say — it ’s a plastic film that features the net as a central lineament that need to be developed and style just like a human character . And at least in the first look at this film , it seems to be the only character reference with whom other fibre have a attached relationship with . The prevue is all we ’ve seen of the movie , but you may judge for yourself when it slay dramaturgy later this year .
