Ex Machina

wow Wow WOW WOW! man this film rlly is one of my favourite watches in recent history. it’s perfection lies in its complexities, taking angles from three very different protagonists and yet making them coincide and interact in a way where you don’t know who to focus attention to. MEANING this will require many rewatches and that i do not mind at all.  though, there are the differences in these characters the commonalities between the three are sexuality and loneliness. caleb who we learn was orphaned at a young age and currently without a partner finds solace in ava who spends her days looking at the same four walls only wishing to get out. his vulnerability and yearning for the physical aspect of their “relationship” leaves him stranded. ava on the other hand uses that same idea to manipulate caleb as a means to her own benefit. and nathan who in his own solitude creates these pieces for his own pleasure and disposal. THE SETTING I BELIEVE PLAYS A HUGE PART IN THIS AS ITS AN ALMOST TOO PERFECT MANSION WHERE WE NEVER SEE THE ACTUAL HOME OF COMFORT, BUT RATHER THE WALLS AND HALLS THAT KEEP THESE CHARACTERS CONFINED.  anyway i’ve been rambling for ages and i never do this on here and lowkey i could go for days. BUT I FKN LOVED THIS MOVIE SM  oscar isaac id let you rip my drawings to shit and id still want you
