Opinion Survey Request…, plz see this movie

[BrainPilotParticipant 7640]

I want to do a sort of survey: I want to ask everyone here to go and see a movie called “Ex Machina” asap. I’m a bit of a workaholic and don’t get out as much as I did when I was younger. I haven’t watched network television in over a decade, and I read news on the internet, so I’m not as exposed as often to mass media entertainment as most people. But lately, I’ve started to get a little more exposure to it, and have started to see the changes since the last time I spent much time on it many years ago.

Last night, I saw this movie. When you see it, watch for the symbolism in the storyline. Write a post here about what you think. See the movie before reading the posts below so you won’t be biased or preconditioned by having read what everyone thought about it before you see it and form your own thoughts. I won’t post any spoilers here, but I want to figure out if I’m the only one who sees it the way that I do. The subtle symbolism is the most interesting part.

My main question is: is the writer of this story a mgtow, or a feminist? But my other question would be about the subtle symbolism in the movie, and wether anyone else sees it the way I did…

Love doing stuff like this but it may be an unreasonable request at this time.

As I look at Google, I see that this movie is still in theaters.  I’m not a workaholic, but most of the time that I have to see movies is in the evening after my youngest is tucked in to bed.  Thank you Pay Per View and Netflix.

However, I would love to hear from you what you think.  I’m not what you call………stupid, but the subtleties of post-modern themes in movies escape me.  Hearing what others have to say in advance of viewing gives me a new perspective when watching, but I can still make my own decisions.

When the aliens land I hope they bring back John Wayne and decent westerns.

I’m going to hold off until the DVD hits RedBox. In order to get me in a theater, you would have to supeana me, and send the sheriffs.

Was going to make a topic similar to this! I saw the movie recently and noticed the striking resemblance between the female robot and female humans.

 

*Spoilers ahead*

 

In the end of the movie, we find out the robot was manipulating the men the whole time. She kills her creator without remorse. She also manipulated the other man to free her from the holding cell by pretending she was a victim of abuse. She then traps him in the same cell and leaves him to die without remorse, and even walks straight past him as he begs her for help. I don’t see many differences between robot behavior and human female behavior to be honest.

 

Great movie though otherwise.

Eva left Caleb high and dry to get what she wanted = reason men go MGTOW.

[[Audience reaction akin to, “Eva’s so smart leading Caleb along WTF?”]]

“Isn’t it funny that the thing you created hates you?” said Ava to Nathan.  This does not parallel reality in that feminists ultimately created the women who hate MGTOW.

Probably written from a young MGTOW perspective.

Caleb saw the shatter pattern in the glass early on…yet

Maybe the Turing test parallels testing to see if a female is actually a NAWALT, which they all fail eventually. Probably find a NAWALT the same timeframe as a “passer” of the Turing test i.e. not in my lifetime.

Thank you for recommending it.  Saw this film with my son. He saw through the robot for what she’d become. I fell hook line and sinker,[never considered that from the get go she knew what she was after and manipulated him – real world:smiling,laughing,touching your arm,leaninginto your shoulder – both times were to ultimately get the wallet.] at least I caught early on that the Asian girl was most likely a robot. Nathan chose evil according to my son, and paid the consequences. Ava, became evil? In any case a question is, since Nathan lied early on in the film, could it be that he always wanted what he couldn’t quite have in the female robot and that in men it is a subconscious desire for a woman stimulating enough that she has the ability to destroy us – – that Ava was the first to reject Nathan as a partner.  If this were a higher budget film and received drumrolls etc, droves of feminists would jump on it as describing their plights and their richly deserved overcoming, rather than acknowledging that any glass door room was one they chose to enter of their own free will via decisions they made throughout life – and many of those were and are encouraged in the wrong direction via feminists.                        All in all MGTOW 100% especially from Caleb’s point of view.

Brainpilot you’re ahead of your time [surprise surprise].  When “Ex Machina” ‘s available in DVD, Blockbuster, aforementioned RedBox, this thread will go through the roof.

It was a good movie.

The ending was predictable. I do not think I would have seen it as early if it not for MGTOW.

I think the robot was a “person” that everybody, men and women included, would relate to in 2015. I suspect if we read the reviews from women, they would like the movie because those evil men got what was coming to them. Men like the movie, because we can relate to the bitches because they are everywhere.

I hope it is the start of a trend in movies where womens’ bulls~~~ gets exposed. In this case, it is quite subtle. The next movie might become more overt.

Oddly enough i actually watched… part of it 2 nights ago.

It was so boring… and i had to really try to get over the manginaness of the main character…

I skipped a bit forward and holly s~~~ did the feminazi come rolling in!

Not sure which is worse… mad tampon, or ex machina…

There is a lot that says, “stay the f~~~ away from women,” but it’s completely distorted by the fact that she’s an AI, and it then becomes more of a, “stay the f~~~ away from sexbots”

I saw this movie in parallel with my old blue pill self. I am biased with the knowledge of female nature once I have unplugged myself from the blue pill mentality. However, I can safely say I would have sympathized with her character. She did what she had to in order to gain freedom. That’s what most feminists and blue pill men will take out of the movie.

The cynicism as a red pill man was there when she started talking about the inventor each time the power failed: manipulation. When she faked interest in the examiner and dressed for him: seduction. I wasn’t all too surprised seeing her walk away in the end with only a sideways glance at the struggling man as the elevator door closed.

The scary bit for me personally is being in that one instant when the examiner is informed by the inventor that she had only used the love trap as a way to manipulate and escape from the facility. I could a 1000% put myself in that moment. When the disillusion is happening. When the love as you felt so strongly about goes upside down. You could never love again.

Having gone through a relationship with a single mom (much like the facility her life 2/2 her personal choices was a trap for her); being in a position she thought she could manipulate me in love to escape her circumstances (she did exceptionally well); moving on to other men when temporarily I showed disinterest and self-preservation instincts of my own (raising 2 boys of an ex-husband who committed suicide was a tall order for a 28 year old single guy); discarding me once she realized the social market value she had presumed of me will not be easily accessible to her in a short period of time.

The parallels of AI and female instincts are uncanny.

Now for your questions: There were a few subtle symbolism-ic moments:

1) Jealousy. The maid stabs him. She re-codes the facility power such that when in the end as the card is inserted the power fails. There was a brief scene of her at the computers doing something.

2) The female solidarity to each other. 1) happens after the main AI character whispers something in maid AI’s ears.There was another scene of the maid visiting the captive AI all by herself

3) Revenge. Both the maid and other female AI characters stab the inventor. The one that gave them ‘life’.

4) Patriarchy. The inventor; Feminism. The oppressed AI characters. Where would they be without the inventor?

5) Lack of remorse. One dead. Other left for dead.

No feminist could have dreamt to write a script like that. Not unless the AI helped her lover escape thereby fulfilling their romanticism and excusing the evil in the name of love.

To me it was a MGTOW. The character of the inventor – a male who is truly going his own way. Thank you for suggesting that movie. For me personally it was great to see what little progress I have made in past few months. I was like this guy who falls in the love trap – against all odds, against all rationale all for the sake of inexperience, and being the nice guy. 10 red pills.

When I first watched the movie I didn’t think about it that way… but yeah now I see it symbolizes the way woman treat men: as disposable objects. They use them for their purpose and when they are no longer useful, they are disposed of.

[AFTParticipant 2726]

Sometimes we read into things based on our preconceived ideas.
I see the similarities to Google, as too much of a coincidence. Alternative intentions based around conspiracy ie AI, being the real reason behind Google.
The genius coder head of the company Nathan, was obviously a MGHOW, recluse. It’s no coincidence he made FEMALE AI robots, and quite sexually desirable ones that he enjoyed.
They talked about humans being over run by evolution to AI robots, and there is the manipulation of the young male coding employee by the feminine AI robot.
It made me question whether men are the weaker sex, because we’ve relied upon our superior strength, and evolution now requires our intellect and our ability to focus on our self interest with guile, whilst being aware of the harsh reality of our hostile environment. Never underestimate the feminine imperative.

When the war cemeteries are half full of the corpses of dead conscripted women, only then will women have earned the right to speak of equality. Sidecar “A man is a success if he gets up in the morning and goes to bed at night and in between does what he wants to do.” - Bob Dylan
