Different Countries' Reactions to Spike Jonze's "I'm Here"
Julia Kaganskiy October 18, 2010
We totally swooned over I’m Here, Creator Spike Jonze’s short film about a touching-yet-troubled romance between two robots. We screened the film at all of our events this summer as we traveled the globe celebrating the launch of The Creators Project. Like a really good mixtape, every time we watched it, it made us wax nostalgic over our own past loves — the good, and the bad, and the ugly — and we couldn’t help but start reminiscing. Apparently, audiences all over the world felt the same way.
In the I’m Here video booth confessional we set up to accompany the film at our events in NYC, London, São Paulo, Seoul, and Beijing, we asked audience members to share their reactions to the movie — what they thought the film was about, what it reminded them of, and stories of their own past relationships that may have had something in common with the one portrayed by Jonze. Their candid responses, compiled in the videos we’ll be sharing with you all week, range from funny to sad to sardonic, but all are steeped in genuine heartfelt emotion. We dare you to watch them without getting at least a little misty-eyed. Today we’re premiering the video from the Seoul videobooth. The NYC and London videos are below, so you can compare how heartbreak changes and stays the same across three different continents.
