There Caleb must undergo the 'Turing test' with the robot. To erase the line between man and machine is to obscure the line between men and gods !. What happens to me if I fail your test?.There is nothing more human than the will to survive !.
Acclaimed writer and screenwriter Alex Garland made his directorial debut with "Ex Machina," a disturbing and thoughful psychological sci-fi thriller that gives a chilling and provoking vision of the not-so-distant future where artificial intelligence is a reality. The film title derives from the Latin phrase "Deus Ex-Machina," meaning "a God from the Machine," a phrase that originated in Greek tragedies. There are some comparative biblical syntonies with ' Creation', in fact the three protagonists have names of characters from the Old Testament, so Ava is a form of Eve, the first woman, companion of Adam; Nathan was a prophet in the court of David; and Caleb was a spy sent by Moses to evaluate the Promised Land. Interpretations are pretty well, Domhnall Gleeson plays Caleb, a 26 year old programmer at the world's largest internet company, while Oscar Isaac is the reclusive and mysterious CEO of the company and gorgeous Alicia Vikander plays the robot girl. This exciting and unsettling film invites you to explore big questions about the nature of consciousness, emotions, sexuality, the truth and the lies.
