On the 10th anniversary of "Ex Machina", we take a look at its masterful exploitation of empathy, and what the film says about our capacity to feel another's feelings.
Some days I love Ex Machina, some days I despise it. I guess that’s why I respect it so much, it always tells me something different. I LOVE the book Against Empathy. I always recommend it (and I’m also using it for an essay on the dangers of fiction). Great use of it for this piece!!
I have that kind of conflicted response to most of Garland's films, though I almost always respect them, or significant parts of them. Looking forward to seeing your essay on the dangers of fiction!
