@Finley Oakley flixportal xD

@Grayson Quinn Thank you, I signed up and it seems to work :) I really appreciate it!

@Finley Oakley glad I could help :)

+Cat Bellamy I know you saw what I wrote up there. I know you saw what I was telling Sita. You can't just shoot dirt like that into my face, he's my baby. SO LEAVE HIM ALONE! Sorry, my family has a long history of relatives who overreact at simple subjects. My roots go back centuries.

+Juliet Leon Huh? I know not what you write. Anyway, sorry hun, you'll have to share.

Cat Bellamy I don't think so.

+Juliet Leon Obviously you're not a big thinker.

Cat Bellamy You know, you can continue saying stuff about me, but you'll never know that it is Domhnall Gleeson's future wife talking to you right now.

+Sita S Did you not see what I wrote back there in the other video's comments? I made a speech and told the others that Domhnall Gleeson is MY baby. Not yours, not hers, not theirs. Mine! Sorry if you're in tears right now, but I don't want to be mean, but Domhnall has cut my meat thousands of times and we're bonded in love chains. So beat it, intruder. Shoo! He's mine, I'm serious. He is my future husband and everybody promised to come to my wedding at the Synagogue.

+Juliet Leon If he's really yours than how big are his biceps?

Party Poison They are 13 inches.

Correct! Now, what about his weight?

Party Poison That one is easy. He is 72 kg.

WEll said!!!

hobonlace i appreciate the response. i am not sure about your ideas; it certainly is possible. however Caleb does act kind of crazy (independent of the cutting): blood smear, smashes the glass, the time he spends on manipulating the cut, his jaw. but .. showing fragility has its own problems as the AI (of some unknown, perhaps spectacular intelligence) may find that quality abhorrent; or useful to the AIs means. also, if communicating to the AI, smashing the mirror is a gamble as that is fraught with problems -- as the AI may find that physicality (form of comm) as too emotional, too threatening, too alien. in thinking how the AI may interpret "safety" would be interesting; especially how in this world there seems to be a constant trade-off between liberty and safety. some prize safety (and the loss of liberty, for themselves and others) above all else. etc...

+Marcus Aurelius Just this week I saw the movie on HBO tv..and I too appeared to be the only one bothered about the cutting scene (and blue hue over his face).Could't find anyone commenting on it over RU-vid or disqus channels. Apart from you 2 guys here. BUT, elsewhere , on many different youtube spots I came to the conclusion that Caleb is the next AI robot to have been tested. Think eve and adam, think old testament cruel God, think garden of Eden (but no snake..or wait, Kyoko ? Kyoko shows/seduces Caleb with her skin peeling too,,,and Kyoko seduces Ava "who are you ?" too). Think many other or misformed humans walking the earth outside Eden made by other gods(!) (the masks on the wall). Check hebrew names Caleb and Nathan. Here is an extra answer to an often repeated riddle; Why couldn't Nathan have a simple shut down button on his robots ? remote controlled ? That would go against the thought of self functioning AI as if to be independent operating humans. But still, there is something: A punch on the chin ! Like a human KO; Kyoko gets her lower jaw knocked out = shut down (see how she slowly sinks down) and a robot with a jaw kicked out, normally should not mean anything. But here it does. Hence, Nathan WANTED to hit Ava on her face/jaw with the steel bar, but she defends herself with the arm. Arm kaputt. Nathan realises he can pull her now back in the room. Also Caleb gets PUNCHED on the chin as Nathan can't allow the risk of Caleb be running away like Ava too. And Caleb in the arm cutting scene (note the cheap sirup blood, no hair on arm, clean skin, same texture skin as ava) ? He/it was fucked'' in the head, malfunction, cutting skin, smearing blood on mirror, punching mirror (his own face)...next day Nathan mentions it casually, blasé;. So what happened ? Nathan saw it. and restarts Caleb (nighttime = recharge time..on his 2 scars on his back), fixes some programlines, and restarts the next morning: Not entirely rebooted (he knows Ava and nathan) but he feels his wrist and stiff ? fingers (but , hey, NO thick bandage as humans WOULD have). Also Ava mentions he was away a whole day and morning....why ? BECAUSE Caleb robot was getting repaired by Nathan. You are right that Kyoko saw Caleb cutting his arm via screen from Nathan s room.

+ODDBALL SOK i appreciate the response. wow 9 months ago, when i posted that comment. i remember at that time, i was so captivated by EM, i made dozens and dozens of comments. at the time, i was thinking i must be one of the experts on this film, on this planet, as i had consumed so much material about it. i think what bothered you, or was noticeable was the same for me: the cut with the blade, kyoko jaw hit, syrupy blood. (i did not notice the blue hue, also the names never resonated; and not until i saw all the alexgarland interviews, did i know about scars on Caleb's back.) what i have seen somewhat but never really thought about too much was the use of the names (as you are pointing out) and how that may give direction to the characters. i should do that at some point. i think the film excellent; however, it is incomplete. as an example, alexgarland was challenged on the keys for the doors and how it was antiquated and causes problems. i think there are some issues with the film, as with any; it is excellent in so many ways; it does have some problems that i think do not pass muster. i never bought into the whole "Caleb as robot" thing. i know alexgarland felt that there was an allusion to that, per interviews; actually, i would be disappointed if that is exactly what he had in mind. i just cannot see the point of the whole movie if Caleb is a more advanced form of robot. everything is pointing to Nathan pushing the boundaries of robotics/intelligence and to have something fully autonomous out in the world -- which would mean it is far, far superior to Ava -- is too problematic for me. i never bought the scars (actually, i never noticed them) as portending to a potential robotic device. if Caleb is a robot then the whole movie would have to be reinterpreted. it would be very problematic for me in that respect. i just think the things that stand out, stand out are blemishes in an otherwise great, great film. i don't think there is extra-layers of complexity. the "blade, syrupy blood, kyoko jaw" are jarring and they just reflect a craftsmanship of the director that did not quite execute perfectly. again, alexgarland concedes there is at least 1 problem, when he was interviewed at "sxsw," respective to the keys and how it is problematic. i think, the other issues are also representative of problems, more than a heightened design. if Caleb was intended to be a robot...i would have massive problems with that, logically.

Josh R that movie is everything

@@SofiaFP dammit!!! where can i see Calvary!??!

@@janethalken8269 i think it's available to rent on amazon

+Victor S I think we all want that chair.

Not in this interview, but I saw him in an interview with Saorise Ronan and I thought her accent went in and out. But that's probably from being interviewed in America, and hanging around American press

Wobbly isn't saying that it's plausible that she left him there while still having feelings for him also trying to fix her behavior into a human pattern...?

there's a phone in the room but i don't think he has access so umm sorry

+ODDBALL SOK he cut his wrist open to show is blood, which tells us that he IS HUMAN. That was shown to us so we could factor that he was an AI out. at least that is what I interpreted.

Sindh medical university very smart medic students

I'm assuming it's Calvary

I would put my house on it being The Guard. Go watch it now!

I also assume it's Calvary, as they were probably talking about the time they interview Brendan Gleeson and that interview was about Calvary. So something along the lines of "Last year we interviewed your father when he was promoting Calvary. What do think about that movie?" was pretty likely to come up.The Guard is a great movie but it's from 2011; they already interviewed Domhnall in 2012, so why wait till 2015 to talk with him about this movie?

+Well Mefisto "i wish it had made more'

+Sofia FP 'i mean, he's my dad or whatever but if i had my way that would've been nominated for everything. I just thought there wasn't a performance that year that i thought was more accomplished...'

+Sofia FP Oh, Sofia! Thanks a lot!! I really wouldn't get all this words. I'm not an English native speaker, but making my way to learn. I love Brendan Gleeson and Calvary, of course. And I wind up "discovering" Brian and Domhnall. Great surprises for me, so nice actors! Domhnall is really great, isn't he?

+Well Mefisto No problem :) Oh well you're doing awesome, you write so well I couldn't tell. Yes!!They're a great acting family, recently the three of them were in a play in Ireland, I wish I could've seen it! I adore Domhnall, i keep coming back to watch his interviews because I find him so brilliant and charismatic.

+Sofia FP - Yes, he really seems to be a nice guy to talk with. So simple and incredibly sympathetic!! An adorable lad. I knew about the Walworth farce, there's a little video of the play here in You Tube (and some interviews too!!). I think he took after his dad, who's also a cool guy in interviews, always laughing a lot and very humble. Brian looks more shy. I watch their interviews a lot too, because I like them a lot and for studying English. Are you native speaker?

wut lol

This comment is hilarious and so inaccurate
