Agreed – I believe Ava *primarily* wanted to use Caleb to escape. Going back to the 1950s and even earlier, human being have predicted through popular media and culture that the future would have advanced intelligent beings who would aid us, support us, and perhaps even dominate us. Theme Analysis from the Movie; Ex Machina Published by James Taylor at October 18, 2019 Ex Machina is a 2014 science fiction movie written and directed by Alex Garland. She is able to connect with him very deeply and even plant ideas in his head regarding her suspicions about who Nathan is and what does he really want.

I may have missed that part of the film mentally so if someone could explain it to me that would be great. Nathan reveals his hidden camera. After the introduction of original content, Netflix firmly established itself both as studio and distributor. Ava is a robot in a long line of robots who suffered at the hands of Nathan's callous desire of immortality (Influence Character Throughline of Situation**, Influence Character Concern of The Past, *Influence Character Problem of Desire). Nathan only lives with one other person, Kyoko, who is his personal servant but it is unclear who she is really since she does not speak English. The CEO of ‘Blue Book’ is Nathan Bateman, who lives isolated from humanity in a luxurious mountainous estate that seems to be more of a fortress than a home. Without spoiling the rest of this intriguing movie, the running theme that binds these three characters together is how they use each other to further their own means. The answer is somewhere in between deliberated actions and random actions; the space between programming and anarchy. This movie does a great job of posing questions about the future of humanity and whether we will be able to control artificial intelligence and the sentient beings that may end up usurping us if we are not careful.

I am highly interested in Nathan and what makes him tick, he is so bizarre–like how does he get simple things like groceries, supplies, etc. One day we will clone a woolly mammoth. Compared to any other recent science fiction offering, ‘Ex Machina’ is the most realistic in telling us the story of how the latter half of the 21st century might go. When she escapes the first and only thing she says to Nathan is “Will you let me go?” It seems to me that this is adequate to demonstrate her motivation and concern in that moment. The question is not analogous to that which someone might have asked a hundred years ago: “Can a machine liquefy a gas?” The trouble is rather that the sentence, “A machine thinks (perceives, wishes)”: seems somehow nonsensical.

There are many unanswered questions to think about when it comes to this film. The latest news, articles, and resources, sent to your inbox weekly. Building on those two points, narcissist prick and Internet Dotcom billionaire Nathan Bateman (Oscar Wilde) sets up a scheme to manipulate Caleb into helping his A.I.
The end of this film, Ex Machina, has quite a few unexpected twists and turns that will leave the audience member speechless. I think it’s at least possible she sees herself as other to the humans around her. Caleb is emotionally weak because he keeps thinking Ava has human thinking and he “trusts, loves, cares for” a machine. Caleb's Stop Growth places his Main Character Throughline in Fixed Attitude. To be more precise, Wittgenstein proffers this, again re AI: “Could a machine think?” I shall talk about this at a later point, and now only refer you to an analogous question: “Can a machine have toothache?” You will certainly be inclined to say: “A machine can’t have toothache”. Compound that with how desireable she is and Nathan's dire prediction that she will eventually be erased someday and Caleb has no other choice than to take action (Influence Character Issue of Prediction**). [^inter] As an Audience member, we know instinctively how things will turn out for Caleb even if he doesn't--[the Essence* of the film's structure](/articles/how-to-tell-if-your-main-character-faces-overwhelming-or-surmountable-odds) informing us behind the scenes. I’d imagine he realised he’d become the subject of his own automatic art, and that by inviting his own demise he’d vindicated his own work — where, if he’d known what was going to happen every step of the way he wouldn’t have even begun. Men who find playing God surmountable as they build up and tear down their ideal version of the perfect woman--of perfect artificial intelligence--do so at the confluence of two key story points. Ex Machina, an analysis Ex Machina, Alex Garland’s directorial debut, is fantastic as a film in its own right. her, she, etc. But, if she’s programmed with artificial conciousness, how do we *know* that she feels nothing at all?

Caleb's Apparent Dilemma and confidence his own talents ensures Ava's escape (*Main Character Resolve of Changed, Story Outcome of Failure**, & Main Character Direction of Ability**) and his own imprisonment. If she were just a “fucking robot,” she wouldn’t have even taken one last glimpse. To be more precise, Nathan is self-destructive — like many intelligent men, he perceives his own end and its insignificance, note not only the irony but the calmness of which he talks sincerely of the fossilisation of mankind as Ava and her successors inherit earth as humanity’s grave. At first, Caleb is excited to meet his tech idol, especially since his boss has developed the first humanoid robot who has passed a simple Turing test, which is quite the triumph where man cannot tell if he who he is talking to a robot or a human being. Maybe – maybe – she genuinely felt something similar to fondness? The best scene is the dance scene–I would like to know how he developed the character mentally, it was great. It is clear that Ava is extremely advanced in terms of her artificial intelligence and is curious about who she is and about the outside world. Despite her obvious understanding that Caleb is different from Nathan in many ways, he is still a potential threat to her escape and survival. Why this chick he has never seen is in the middle of nowhere with 5 inch heels on is odd but again, sci-fi so anything does. The puzzle at the heart of the film is whether or not Ava, after Nathan makes clear she was using to an unknowable extent Caleb in order to be set free, is or was at any point conscious of what she is doing. To say the least, it’s a visually stunning film: set in an isolated nowhere, the state of the art home of the AI-creator and tech-billionaire Nathan (Oscar Isaac) houses the proverbial promethean fire with which its surrounding nature is conquered; additionally, the outstanding female lead of the film Ava (Alicia Vikander) is the nubile AI face of the enigma at the heart of all the film’s finely poised philosophical problems. A programmer named Caleb Smith (played by Domhnall Gleeson) who works at a Google-like worldwide search engine company known as ‘Blue Book’, similar to Facebook in its name, is chosen to meet with the Sergey Brin or Larry Page of this fictional world one-on-one for a week. I like to think Caleb figured something out, Nathan must have had some kind of system where supplies were flown in, he had raw fish, beer, things that were perishable, so he had to get it somewhere. Now that she’s free, conscious or not, I demand a sequel!! If Ava was conscious, my guess is that she genuinely held some limited, minimal feeling of goodwill towards Caleb. The list is sure to generate debate amongst die hard sci-fi fans.
