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.
