A PK between the human brain and the machine

The genius Nathan developed the intelligent robot Eva with independent thinking ability. In the form of winning, he tricked the programmer Gary to go to the villa located in the mountains to confirm whether Eva had the ability to think independently. The subject matter is actually not new, that is, humans are trying to control and master robots. However, the style and mood of the whole movie are very calm. The limited characters and the simple dialogue in a closed space have to express the fluency of the accident. This is a test for the screenwriter and director. You can give them a big praise. Through the control of the rhythm, the coordination of the music, and the micro expressions of the actors, the film also buried Eva's line too well. From the sympathy for Eva at the beginning to the later reversal of the plot, it is really meticulous to think about it. Fear of thinking, this IQ can only be said to be a real challenge to humans. This PK between humans and machines was won by Eva's smooth escape. Is it human sorrow or the crystallization of technological progress? It is also a question that the director asks everyone to think about.

    This film explains very well why the episode of Black Mirror is only 45 minutes. Yes, if you shoot a long film, the rhythm will be completely lost.

Ex Machina quotes

  • Nathan: You know, I wrote down that other line you came up with. The one about how if I've invented a machine with consciousness, I'm not a man, I'm a God.

    Caleb: I don't think that's exactly what I...

    Nathan: I just thought, "Fuck, man, that is so good." When we get to tell the story, you know? I turned to Caleb and he looked up at me and he said, "You're not a man, you're a God."

    Caleb: Yeah, but I didn't say that.

  • Nathan: The answer is, how do you feel about her? Nothing analytical, just... how you feel.

    Caleb: I feel... that she is fucking amazing.
