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 a prize, he tricked the programmer Gary to go to a 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 the enclosed 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 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 wins with 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.

    Although there are not too many surprises in the direction of the plot, the style of the image happens to be my favorite. The unique texture of the extreme cold, the right thrilling atmosphere, suppresses the confined space and only rely on the dialogue of the characters to highlight the full tension of the script. The soundtrack and photography are very appetizing.

    I heard that those who can read both positive and negative are very awesome, such as Ji Ji, Chairman Xi, and Premier Li. 2015.5.25 Chengdu

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.
