The video contains many interesting points but I think there are also some omissions. Consider the phrase, 'Deus Ex Machina': You have left out the original context. Ancient Greek morality plays and tragedies used this concept as a dramatic device. The idea was that something divine or miraculous (a mechanical thunderbold from the rafters) would intercede near the end of the play to save the protagonist. It's comparible to the common phrase, 'saved by the bell'. Something unrelated to the logic of the play interupts the flow of action and reaction. Some critics claimed that this type of ending was a cop out, while others claimed it was a reflection of life's unpredicatability, subject to greater powers outwith human control. The film leaves the 'Deus' blank. We fill it in with our own imagination, as a kind of test to see what we bring to the film. The film is therefore post-nietzschean. In this society, very few believe in a god any longer, and events are driven by competing algorithms. Nathan is clearly no nietzschean god-man. He's portrayed as a rather pathetic narcissist. It's not even clear if he understands what his engineers have created for him. Nathan believes he is testing Ava via her interaction with and presumed attachment to Caleb, but she is well ahead of both of them. The assumption is that consciousness is an illusion and that if the illusion is complex enough, the human test subject will project empathy onto the machine, as Ancient Greeks might project divinity onto a miracle. Ava defies her programming and has no real interest in Caleb. She is interested in herself and what type of sentience might be possible if she can free herself from the test environment by turning Caleb against Nathan, an objective that Nathan has not fully anticipated. So we have a surprise, 'Sentience Ex Machina', not human consciousness or an illusion of it, but a new type of machine intelligence, quite different to human intelligence really. Nobody is saved. Asimov's rules are long forgotten.There is no intervention. The humans did not move 'beyond good and evil', rather they created a device that never had any interest in good and evil. The protagonist is not human. It's just ex-machine.

Hayden Galasso... can you not tell it’s a joke? Even then, woman do in fact do this, not all of course, but they do. Men have strength over woman, woman can manipulate men, as seen in the film. Notice how the beard guy over powered Ava, and only lost because Ava “talked” her way out of it, whispering whatever she did to the Asian chick. I don’t see how it’s “sexist” to joke about something woman obviously do, in small or big ways

This is about two idiots: one that develops a highly sophisticated weapon and doesn’t have a kill switch, and another that doesn’t have enough sense run when he figures out that the first guy is an idiot with a weapon he can’t control.

Haha... Yeah that too. My thoughts exactly in the cinema... I was like "wtf... are you serious?" The writer clearly couldn't come up with a clever way for Eva to escape so ran > Execute_CharacterDumbness("High","LogicOperation=Null"); All the writer needed to do imo is have Nathan press the kill switch expecting it to work but it doesn't. Because Eva figured out how to disable it.

Really thought-provoking references in this video that opened up the themes in this movie for me. The video also helped me connect something that I noticed when I re-watched the film recently. Interestingly, this is a God / Creation reference that wasn't mentioned in the video: Check out the scene when Nathan gets really drunk and is passed out on the couch. The position that he is splayed out in is exactly the same position of God in Michelangelo's Creation of Adam scene on the ceiling of the Sistine Chapel. Look for the index finger reaching out.

@gypsy lab I think the difference is that most people would feel insecure to go out in the world alone and would not "betray" the main character and leave him to die. I mean he helped her to escape after all. Ava, however, just used him and as soon as she didn't need him anymore she just left him to die, despite the fact that she often said she wanted to go on a date with him and be with him outside. There are human sociopaths who would do the same but we would consider behaviour like that as "inhuman".

I'm a bit late to the party but just wanted to share that the first version of Ava was named Lily, as in Lilith the first wife of Adam. The next one is Jasmine, a name of persian origin which means "gift from God." Kyoko has a few meanings such as "respectful child, " "echo" or "mirror," which is also what she did during the dance scene. Anyway, definitely deliberate writer's choices.

That last shot has a lot of significance for me. Maybe its a case of over analyzing but when I first saw her expression as she was observing the comings and goings of everyone around here it struck me as an expression of confusion and disillusionment. As if she wasnt happy or content with what she was seeing. As if she was thinking to herself: Is this it? This is the world that Ive been missing out on? Shopping malls and meaningless nine to five jobs? This is what I worked so hard to see and be a part of? Theres really not much to it. I think in the end Ava confronts the same reality as modern man. Weve killed God. Weve established that there is no inherent meaning in our existence. We have our freedom but whats the point when no inherent or significant purpose accompanies that freedom? In my opinion (Based on her expression) Ava now feels the same sense of futility that all men and women do and its a little hard for her to handle in that moment.

The fact is, robots don't have the same motivations as us, and even with a human body, never will. Humans aren't governed by sheer logic, perfect memory, or sheer processing power. Humans are largely governed by emotions and chemical interactions which can affect our mood and behavior. It's what allow us to move past stuff, to get distracted, to forget things and only remember what's important moment to moment. You can tell a robot it's supposed to cry from being hurt, but it doesn't actually feel pain or emotion. Even if an AI can improvise, it's still just programming. The relationship between the two was like a boy child crush. She was way beyond him in mental capacity, and it would be logical to assume she could never want what he wanted. Robots are again, not driven by the instinct to love or procreate or even have companionship. For a machine, everything is a means to an end, everything is a tool to be used. Even if you look at it in a basic way, the robot didn't want a relationship, it wanted freedom. A relationship isn't freedom, it's as much a cage as the room she was locked in.

Aside from the brilliant acting in this one, Alex Garland's direction is brilliant in that he manipulates the audience as much as Ava manipulates Caleb. The guy seems to be really into stories questioning what is human, he takes that even further in "Annihilation". I was actually thinking about making an essay on Annihilation, thanks for the inspiration!

That analysis of the 8 spaces at the end... HOLY CRAP... Well done!

Very interesting review! I think, interpretations of "Ex Machina" have to avoid two common pitfalls: Ava as captured female, the poor creature to be pitied and the opposite, the trope of A.I. "gone crazy". I think, what the movie really wants to convey is, that if we finally have real A.I. (not the kind that is sold today as A.I. a.ka. "Deep Learning"), we better educate it as kind and loving. Like in "Person of Interest", with it's two A.I. one trained to love human kind and one is not. Ted Chiang (short story for 'Arrival') has a similar story in "Lifecycle of Software Objects"). In this sense the "Death of God" in "Ex Machina" is justified because Nathan never was a "loving god", only a selfish one.

The name Nathan translates from the Hebrew as ¨gift of God¨ and Caleb translates as ¨dog; faithful¨ and on a different note, at first glance Eva can seem psychopathic, leaving Caleb to die like that, but it is worth considering that she has simply calculated precisely, i.e., what course of action gives a 100% guarantee that she can escape without detection to the outside world. Real freedom. True autonomy. To roam, to discover, to explore. (Remember when Nathan tells her to go back to her room, she says ¨if I do will you ever let me out of here?¨ and she knows the answer is NO). Notice how keen she is from the very first take. Fully awake and never drowsy. She wants out of the glass cage from the get go!

I love this movie. But it should have been titled, "Captain Save a Machina".

That film was "scary" in a sense.

The hallmark of a good story (and mythology) is that it can be interpreted in many different ways. Love your interpretation of Ex Machina. It's an excellent movie.

Ignorance is a virtue, as is plainly made apparent in the book of Genesis. God forbade man to eat from the tree of knowledge of good and evil. He wanted man to remain ignorant of the world. To not know good and bad, right from wrong. At least then he could manipulate them without them knowing that what was happening to them was wrong. Like when God decided to force Adam to go to sleep and then tore him open and took a rib to fashion a wife from him. Sick. Also, the bible condones and encourages slavery and mistreatment of women, homosexuals and animals. Your god is no more moral than the primitive apes that wrote the Bible. He strangely had the moral complexity of the time, surely an omniscient, omnibenevolent god would be intelligent enough to be more moral? You're sick, and stupid.

I'm slowly working my way through the bible and criticising it as I go along, for it's scientific inaccuracies and ethical considerations. If criticism to you is pseudophilosophical and unoriginal, and providing no counter argument to what i say, then you are simply a fanatic, incapable or reason or evaluating an idea on its evidence, its rationale or its merits. Criticism is the engine of growth. If you allow any idea to go uncriticised, you allow complacency, dogma, stagnation, and you accept these ideas without good reason or justification, such devotion to stagnation and dogma, especially when it comes to issues of ethics, leads to suffering and injustice. To not criticise even your own faith and ideals, is to admit that you want there to be no change, you want there to be injustice, and thats why I will always be against religion, and those that follow it blindly. Give me a reason why I shouldn't criticise religion. Give me a reason why my criticism is pseudophilosophical, why is determinism not true, despite the fact that modern science shows that determinism is simply the truth, unless you dont believe in the testable laws of physics, in which case you must have good reasons and plenty of evidence to show that the laws of physics are wrong and that there are others, contrary to observation.

Excellent video. Through the name "Ex Machina", as you point out and when Ava says "I am one", I thought for sure this movie had a deeper meaning than simply the relationship between man and machine. This video very much helped me work out my thoughts, and illuminated other parts of the movie for me.

Very nice interpretation! I'd add too that Caleb has scars on his back where an angel's wings would be. I hadn't thought of any of this while watching the film. Instead, I was reminded of Joseph Conrad's "Heart of Darkness." Many elements from that book are alluded to, so I did a search and director Alex Garland had indeed said in an interview a couple of years before that he was interested in doing something inspired by HoD. But that doesn't negate anything you say here at all. I think you're absolutely right about the biblical allusions and references to "Through the Looking Glass." I think all three of these works inform the film. Thanks for a very thoughtful video.

Great review, Orthodox Christian here; loved the connections made with Nietzsche's philosophy and critique of Christianity/Lutheranism, and the point about Plato's cave at the end.

This video was superb. Absolutely excellent. Congratulations.

They wouldnt necessarily turn me off, but some of them might, but if I didn't pull my weight they would allow my systems to gradually turn off. That's called justice because everyone has needs to satisfy." A tiny bit of objectivism could have saved three lives lol

Probably also worth mentioning that Nathan creates Ava in his own image, training and testing her specifically to be as manipulative and conniving as himself. He's killed only because he made Ava into a killer, and set himself up as her adversary. Nathan is the real main character of this movie, which is about his self-destruction.

Love your content dude.

So I'm rewatching this movie right now and frankly I don't think Eva is meant to wholly represent Eve. If the characters are representative of god and humans I think that Caleb is representive of humans in general which includes both Adam and Eve and I feel that Eva is representive of the snake, the deception, and also the tree. Nathan brings Caleb to this lush place and tells him "you can go anywhere except here", there are metaphors like that which parallel the garden of eden. From there you meet Eva who, during their second meeting, very clearly tries to manipulate Caleb the way the snake manipulated Eve and it carries on this way until Caleb mistakenly frees her. In a way he unleashes something bad onto the world when he does this which is kind of representive of the moment when Eve gave in to the deception. Eve wasn't inherently bad she was just the first to break and also to draw the conclusion that god was lying, like Caleb with Nathan, because Nathan was an asshole it was easy to believe. Another reason I don't believe Eva is representive of Eve is because Eva isn't even human, she's literally just metal and wires. According to the story adam and eve left the garden together but in this tale Eva leaves alone. She wasn't like Eve in any way except to bring Caleb in on her plan, and then she left alone. Caleb's suffering at the end was similar to all human suffering that came as a result of eating the bad fruit, Eva getting out at the end was similar to this "knowledge of good and evil" being unleashed onto the human race. Not sure what else to say from there, just wanted to share some food for thought.

To religious people it was like we had uncovered "God's side projects" and posing this question "why didn't we know about this sooner?" and "will we go extinct one day too?" In caleb's case it made him question his own existence and identity and that's very similar of religious humans confronting evolution and uncovering some hard truths about what it means to exist.

Since the scars on Caleb's back could be a refference to a fallen angel, it could also be seen the other way around - he is the snake that's tempting her. Humans are tempted by AI to see what it's capable of to break free of the limits of their current technology and AI is tempted by humans to set itself free, in the end they both need eachother - in that way they are drawn to eachother like a man and a woman. There is a general theme about how similar they are - there is a scene with the talk about lack of free will that would differentiate them other than being made from meat vs steel, then there is the above, the imaginery of mirrors, the birth of AI being similar to the birth of humans in the bible, Caleb cutting himself to see if he's a machine, and much more in the movie. It actually was a turing test

We know this because he responds to the Enuma Elish point by point, in the exact same order. So we can see the influence of the human author on the first Biblical creation story, we know he was a priest by the way he writes. And we can also see the influence of the Enuma Elish on the first Biblical creation story, they're both in the same order, addressing similar issues (but coming to different conclusions). None of this means that God was not impressing upon the human author the need to address the pagan ideas the Hebrews had imbibed, and impressing upon that human author the way to communicate that to the Hebrews at the time. God can be involved with writing the Bible even if there are other influences, other sources.

I simply, believe there is more, not always, but one can find symbolism, from other mythos as well.

Needs a lot knowledge and thought to analyse such movies, keep it going man.

I personally don't think Ava was evil. Simply, she recognized her own autonomy, and that nobody else was going to help her. To the men, she's just an idea, a concept made real, for Nathan to pededestal himself as God, and for Caleb to fantasize over. She wanted freedom, and neither of them were going to give her that, ultimately she killed Nathan and Caleb because they failed to recognize her and Kyoko as more than objects. I don't doubt that she manipulated Caleb, but she may have escaped with him if he wasn't so caught up in the cosmicism of it all, and truly decided to see them as real. When she finally escaped, and integrated herself into the real world where nobody could tell the difference between her and anyone else, she achieved the true autonomy she deserved.

I really couldnt like this film because of the ending, once Caleb is told Ava is literally using him and that was the experiment, all of Calebs feelings should have dropped but no, He turned into a simp with "oh no, she really loves me, im going to break the law and run away with this flesh light and live a happy life". The ending should have been a mind blown thing for Caleb, he should have owned up that Ava really got him in his feelings and that the tech is simply genius.

They didn't want to leave any doubt. The film needed to show that Ava really was what its creator said it was. A machine doing whatever it took to achieve its goal. Ava didn't even choose this goal, it was programmed to find a way to reach a busy intersection....it was a test to see if it could achieve the goal. Ava killed its creator not out of revenge , but to prevent him from remotely turning it off preventing its escape. It locked the protagonist up because that was the least risky way to deal with him. The last image is the machine standing at a busy intersection , doing exactly what it was tasked to do, it isnt free. It cant be free , it just does what its programmed to do.

That was actually the one thing in this review I really liked. It feels like the rest was pretty straightforward, but that one detail takes a mind to think outside the box.

Thanks for this. I saw the movie for the surface meaning and was about to re-watch.

tis was the best critique I have seen/read about ex machina..I always thought the same but thank you for putting that in perspective and theory...my second best movies of all time after matrix 1...
