“Phoenix, we are led to understand, has been melancholy since his divorce, but the trailer shows him following the classic seduced-by-a-MPDG story arc, in which he goes from looking sadly at his feet in the shower to running maniacally through a subway station and laughing gleefully. He has been brought back to life, you see, by the breath of fresh air that is the love of this inexplicable woman.
The woman, once again, is not a real human. She’s some kind of artificial intelligence. So while she doesn’t follow the MPGD trope exactly—there’s no scene of her dancing in the rain, for instance—Phoenix’ reaction to her follows it to a T.”

Why? Why do we need another movie like this?
