Ex Machina	comment	Ex Machina (sometimes stylised as EX_MACHINA) is a 2014 British science fiction thriller film written and directed by Alex Garland, marking Garland's directorial debut, and starring Domhnall Gleeson, Oscar Isaac, Alicia Vikander and Sonoya Mizuno.Set 20 Minutes into the Future, a young programmer named Caleb (Gleeson) who works at a dominant tech company wins a competition to spend a week in the isolated compound of the company's CEO, a reclusive billionaire named Nathan (Isaac).Upon arrival, Nathan informs Caleb that he will take part in a Turing test, evaluating the human qualities of a highly advanced, intelligent and breathtaking female humanoid robot named Ava (Vikander). However, Caleb's purported involvement in "the greatest scientific event in the history of man" is not all that it seems. He soon finds out that both Nathan and his creation have deeper intentions than meet the eye, and this discovery slowly leads him to the dark truth behind the luxurious retreat.The film mixes together a lot of AI-centric tropes, and dashes in a great deal of Alternate Character Interpretation when it comes to the three main characters.It has nothing to do with the Brian K. Vaughan comic.Character tropes go on to the Characters Sheet.

Kyoko's lack of vocalization is also rather disconcerting. When she starts peeling the skin off of her face, it gets really disturbing. Ava had several predecessors, all of whom were nude in their flashback footage. One had a time-lapse of being built up from a pair of legs, section by section, then doing a Supermodel Strut, which dives right into Fan Disservice. Another, we see as a completely skinned woman minus the metal skull and neck vertebrae; Nathan dragging around her lifeless body like a corpse was...creepy. Another one, apparently "Jade", was being interviewed by Nathan and demanding to be let out in her concurrent interviews, until she was clearly desperate and panicked. Her footage ended on her having a Freak Out and battering at the door until her arms disintegrated and eventually gave up, crying. Had she been human, her hands and forearms would have been worn down to the bone.

Ex Machina / int_6b5a92dc	comment	Uncanny Valley: According to the film-makers, Ava was specifically designed to invoke and play with this. Large parts of her body are transparent and contain visible electronics, while wherever she wears skin she looks lifelike yet impossibly perfect. Her movement is not like a stereotypical robot's with jerky movements and mechanical noises, but instead very smooth and accompanied by soft, hard-to-pinpoint sounds. Alicia Vikander, having been a ballet dancer, manages to make her graceful walk and other movements look almost human but with something inexplicably off. The whole concept of her character is to find out whether someone knowing she is a machine will be able to overcome or even skip the discomfort/revulsion caused by the uncanny valley, and instead find her human and sympathetic.

Ex Machina / int_6bda9a30	comment	Meaningful Name: All four characters get meaningful (plot-relevant) names. Caleb has multiple possible meanings in Hebrew — "dog", which fits how he is almost Nathan's "pet"; "as if it understands", which fits how he apparently understands Ava's "emotions"; and "a basket or a cage with contents", which mirrors his subject Ava's caged status and his own state at the end of the movie. Nathan means "gift" or "gift of God", which is fitting for a man gifted with the talent to create artificial intelligence. Ava is a variant of "Eva" or "Eve", meaning "life" — and the whole question of the film is whether or not Ava is "alive" in the sense of having a conscience. And then there's Kyoko, whose name has several possible meanings, one of which is "mirror child", which is fitting for an android who reflects her creator's taste in women.

Ex Machina / int_7286e96d	type	Idiot Ball
Ex Machina / int_7286e96d	comment	Idiot Ball: Nathan has (1) developed software that funds a giant corporation, (2) retained control of that corporation in the world business scene, and (3) developed humaniform robots and sapient AI. After years of being "the smartest guy in the room", it's psychologically plausible that he's overconfident he can outthink Caleb, Ava and Kyoko. Yet even with all this in mind, the ball is still rolling: Nathan's house doubles as a state-of-the-art research facility and features independent room access, cameras backed by facial recognition software, and even a lockdown protocol in case of power failure. And yet access is controlled only by plastic cards without passwords or biometrics Nathan spends a great deal of his time drunk while having over a house guest who he is deliberately trying to set up to betray him. To be fair, his behavior was probably a deliberate ploy to make Caleb more sympathetic to Ava. But when coupled with the above idiot ball... The only reason the final act can happen is because, for whatever reason, Nathan didn't see a crucial part of the CCTV recordings, when Caleb was busy setting up his ploy. To drive this point home, Nathan knew Caleb was on his computer already, since he staged the whole situation from the start. In the same time, this makes Caleb's plot a massive case of Gambit Roulette, as it can only work if for whatever reason Nathan is not checking all the recordings. None of the androids come with a remote way to turn them off or any other deactivation mechanism. Since Caleb didn't have to know about it existing, it makes it even more questionable why Nathan didn't prepare for such an obvious possibility, since his test was all about letting Ava escape, with no way to turn her off in case of success. Even if the above weren't included, why design the bots with strength even close to human level? Nathan works out all the time, and he's still barely able to overpower Ava when she attacks him, allowing Kyoko the opportunity to attack him from behind. The idea that a bot might become physically violent and should therefore be designed with weaker strength should have been apparent when one of them was able to put a significant crack in a security barrier. Caleb never, ever, for even a single second assumed that it might be Ava manipulating him all the time.

The rest of the world evidently doesn't have any of this, or Caleb wouldn't have needed it explained to him. Instead of making more money in dumb robot tech, he keeps it to himself and plays with putting AI in the bodies. Since we have no glance on the world of the film and the date is not established, it might simply happen 20 Minutes into the Future, where such technologies are already common enough.

Ex Machina / int_9d12bbc1	comment	Foreshadowing: Nathan watching Caleb specifically is foreshadowed in the very first scene of the film: when Caleb finds out he won the contest, there is a camera angle from the POV of the camera on his phone, which shows patterns from a face-detection algorithm on him and those around him. Later on, in Nathan's home/research facility, when Caleb is in his bathroom and cuts his arm, there is a POV from the camera inside his mirror, which shows the same pattern. The cracked glass in the room that Caleb uses to interact with Ava. When Caleb watches the video recordings of the previous gynoid models, it's revealed that these cracks were made by Jade out of frustration. One of the lyrics of the song that plays in the dance scene is "work your fingers to the bone". Later when Caleb watches the video of Jade banging her arms on the door, her fingers are the first to disintegrate. Additionally, her arms are worked to the bone. When Kyoko leaves the dinner, we see that all she has is a napkin and a dish, and no pockets. She unlocks the elevator with her bare hand, without a keycard. Nathan and Caleb use keycards for such locks. This implies that Kyoko has electronics in her hand, and foreshadows her full reveal. Kyoko perfectly mimicking Nathan moves in real time, while he's drunk. Now what that could possibly mean... The film explains how a Turing Test works (incorrectly), only to then start the very first session that goes against the most basic rule of such a test. Which is even invoked in-universe by Caleb. It's the first hint Nathan isn't just doing some basic test and instead deliberately is trying to evoke specific reactions from Caleb.

Ex Machina / int_a3a4a800	comment	Too Clever by Half: Nathan's undoing is his pride. He needed to construct a scenario in which Ava would deceive and use Caleb to facilitate her escape, thus proving her sapience. His failing is that someone clever enough to be capable of assisting her, would also be clever enough to outwit him, and thus all his machinations fall apart because Caleb caught on to the game and played into it, which Nathan didn't figure out until it was too late. This also applies to Caleb, when he rightly guessed that Nathan was still able to observe him and Ava when the power outages occurred, and put his plan to free Ava into motion before Nathan realized it was too late. What he didn't count on was Ava betraying him and leaving him locked up in the monitoring room. Meaning, while he saw through Nathan's gambit, he still fell for the Damsel in Distress act that Ava was doing after all.

Ex Machina / int_c75df49a	type	Shout-Out
Ex Machina / int_c75df49a	comment	Shout-Out: The name of Nathan's company, Bluebook, is a reference to the philosopher Ludwig Wittgenstein, whose Blue and Brown Books first dealt with many of the key topics and themes of the film. Even more subtly, the expensive-looking painting the camera lingers on in Nathan's retreat is of Wittgenstein's sister (done by Gustav Klimt, whose work sells in the hundreds of millions of dollars, and is collected by the ultra-rich). The film was even shot in the same rural part of Norway to which Wittgenstein occasionally retreated, although set elsewhere. Nathan's "Who You Gonna Call" reference which Caleb doesn't quite get. Describing his house/research facility, Nathan says that there are so many fiber-optic leads that you could "lasso the moon". When Nathan, founder of "Bluebook", is first showing Caleb around the house, he tells Caleb that he is authorized to enter some rooms in the house but not all. Any room that Caleb's key card won't authorize him to enter is off-limits to him. This is reminiscent of the fairy tale Bluebeard in which a wealthy aristocratic man of that name warns his new bride that she must not enter a certain room in his castle. When he leaves the castle, she succumbs to temptation and enters the room, discovering to her horror the murdered bodies of his previous wives who had disappeared mysteriously. The allusion to "Bluebeard" continues when Caleb later discovers what is in the closets of Nathan's room (the discarded bodies of his past-female-androids, whom he used for sex). The blond robot in Nathan's closet is missing her arms and legs, making her look like a dead ringer of the Puppet Master from Ghost in the Shell. Further, Ava, like the Puppet Master, has the ability to turn off the power and the question of her sentience is a key plot issue. Nathan's surname is Bateman. While his namesake dismembers human beings, he dismembers his robots. Robert Oppenheimer's quote from the Bhagavad Gita: not only the well-known "I have become Death, destroyer of worlds" but also "The good deeds a man has done before defend him". Just before Nathan passes out he says, "It's Promethean, man." The Either/Or Title of Frankenstein is The Modern Prometheus. Like Nathan, Viktor Frankenstein created an artificial human, only to fall victim to his own hubris.

Ex Machina / int_c82e751f	comment	Unspoken Plan Guarantee: Zigzagged. Caleb's escape plan is discussed in full before being put into action, leading viewers to expect something to go wrong. Sure enough, Nathan reveals he saw the whole thing via a battery-powered camera. Then it turns out Caleb anticipated that, and did all the legwork the first time he got Nathan drunk, before even mentioning the plan to Ava. And then things go sideways anyway, because Ava turns on Caleb.

Ex Machina / int_c8f5c41d	type	Supermodel Strut
Ex Machina / int_c8f5c41d	comment	Ava had several predecessors, all of whom were nude in their flashback footage. One had a time-lapse of being built up from a pair of legs, section by section, then doing a Supermodel Strut, which dives right into Fan Disservice. Another, we see as a completely skinned woman minus the metal skull and neck vertebrae; Nathan dragging around her lifeless body like a corpse was...creepy. Another one, apparently "Jade", was being interviewed by Nathan and demanding to be let out in her concurrent interviews, until she was clearly desperate and panicked. Her footage ended on her having a Freak Out and battering at the door until her arms disintegrated and eventually gave up, crying. Had she been human, her hands and forearms would have been worn down to the bone.

Lampshaded when Caleb himself starts to wonder if he's real after the reveal that Kyoko is an AI, checking to see if his own skin is fake and even cutting himself. In the end, the Episode Title Card "Ava Session 7" appears on-screen even though Caleb isn't administering the Turing test and Nathan is already dead. This may suggest that Ava was testing the two of them the entire time.

Ex Machina / int_de9047ac	type	Gambit Pileup
Ex Machina / int_de9047ac	comment	Gambit Pileup: A three-way cross of them: Nathan orchestrates all three, by bringing Caleb to his home under false pretenses so that Caleb can administer a Turing Test on Ava. Which is further false pretenses, as Nathan was trying to see if Ava could utilize a whole suite of human attributes to successfully manipulate Caleb as a part of a larger, more elaborate and comprehensive Turing test of Ava's sapience. Once she proved it, Nathan could force Caleb to leave his estate and he would reboot Ava into the next iteration, effectively killing her current iteration. Ava didn't want to be trapped in a prison, and seduced Caleb into wanting to flee with her, using Caleb as a means of escape. She was also causing the power outages, which gave her and Caleb a bit of privacy in which she could make a few more pointed statements about her desire to escape. Nathan knew all of this, and his own plan relied on it. Finally, Caleb made a plan, not quite knowing Ava was manipulating him, made a more mundane ploy, by trying to get Nathan piss drunk, steal his key card, reprogram the house's security protocols to unseal the doors during a power outage instead of sealing, and he could make a getaway with Ava when she caused one last outage. Nathan saw right through this and didn't let himself be manipulated. This would have kept Ava in her room, except Caleb suspected Nathan was still watching during the power outages (he was right), and did the legwork the night before, letting Ava get out. At this point, all three parties' plans were in shambles, and would have to wing it.

At the end, Ava ascends into the sunlight, leaving the other "prisoners" behind—a direct reference to Plato's Allegory of the Cave.

Nathan was all set to win, then the one thing he didn't see coming was Kyoko's rebellion and murder attempt on him, which gave Ava the opening needed to kill him. Nathan's plot was also stopped by the fact that Caleb had set his plan in motion the previous night, and then lied about it to Ava, knowing that Nathan would be listening in.

Ava walks and moves in a lifelike manner, and has been obsessively designed to read and express emotions naturally with her face and body. Kyoko actually manages to fool Caleb, although she apparently cannot speak. Nathan justifies this as a necessity. An A.I. with no form or one merely designed for practicality (a box, for example) would have no reason to relate to a human.

The robot, Ava, resembles an attractive human woman, and Caleb is unnerved by how he seems to be falling for her and accuses Nathan of making her attractive so as to incline Caleb towards giving a favorable review. He then discovers that Nathan has built many other artificial women before Ava, most of which he abused and discarded and the last which he keeps around as a housemaid and sex slave, much to Caleb's horror. As for Ava, she was indeed built to take advantage of Caleb's affections, and his suspicions aren't enough to prevent him from falling for her and obliviously helping her until she discards him when his aid is no longer needed.

Ava is no exception. He doesn't see any problem with humans having sex with robots, (in fact he specifically designed them to be able to) whether it's himself or others, and encourages Caleb to see her as a woman. Ava expresses attraction towards Caleb and he is implied to find her attractive too, although he's reluctant to admit it.
