    Character Evaluation

    Alex Garland uses profound themes and sharp dialogue as his creative style. His "Dredd" has successfully set a lot of humor and irony for the mechanically blunt protagonist. The zombie movie "28 Days Later" brought subtle political themes to the stage. In addition to the thrilling adventures, "Sunshine" also tries to make the audience think about the truth behind the movie. Alex Garland's movies are very powerful for creating tension and the structure of the world   .
    As a director born as a writer, Alex Garland likes to add some metaphysical philosophies to his works more than ordinary directors. His extraordinary sci-fi film thinking and delicate control of human emotions have begun to take shape in "Never Let Me Go". The film established his position in the field of science fiction movies   . And his taste in music has been proven in "Annihilation". Many atonal, avant-garde electronic soundtracks and sound effects cover the plot of alien "life" appearance, and shape alien civilization auditoryly. They are different, emphasizing that they are completely different from human beings, and they are refreshing   .

      Four metaphors

      There are four main characters in this movie, Nathan, Kyoko, Ava, Caleb.

      Let’s start with Nathan. Nathan represents a capitalist, calm and careful, boldly pursued, but also represents the mainstream of human society. A sense of contradiction. He pursues the completion of AI, and at the...

      For the first time I felt that being naked was more sexy than being naked.

    Ex Machina quotes

    • Nathan: Man, but what a thing we've shared, huh? Something to tell our grandchildren, right?

      Caleb: After they've signed their NDAs.

      Nathan: [laughs] Yeah, their NDAs... Dude, you crack me up, man.

    • Caleb: Why did you give her sexuality? An AI doesn't need a gender. She could have been a grey box.

      Nathan: Actually I don't think that's true. Can you give an example of consciousness at any level, human or animal, that exists without a sexual dimension?

      Caleb: They have sexuality as an evolutionary reproductive need.

      Nathan: What imperative does a grey box have to interact with another grey box? Can consciousness exist without interaction? Anyway, sexuality is fun, man. If you're gonna exist, why not enjoy it? You want to remove the chance of her falling in love and fucking? And the answer to your real question, you bet she can fuck.

      Caleb: What?

      Nathan: In between her legs, there's an opening, with a concentration of sensors. You engage them in the right way, creates a pleasure response. So if you wanted to screw her, mechanically speaking, you could. And she'd enjoy it.

      Caleb: That wasn't my real question.

      Nathan: Oh, okay. Sorry.
