I’m stuck on her. I’ve been binge watching all her movies and interviews. I just can’t get over how beautiful and sweet she is. And her voice is something I would never ever get tired of hearing.
I've watched this film many times, the same way I look at a beautiful painting or listen to Beethoven's 9th Symphony. Although I am a classical musician, I don't need any explanation of how the art was created. She is an artist. All the people associated with the making of that film are artists and masters of their craft.
If you are a Sci-Fi fan, this movie is a must-see...the screenplay and acting are superb. I predict this movie will be a classic along the lines of "the day the earth stood still"
She is Swedish, I assume English is not her first language? Although her accent sounds very British. But she seem a bit uneasy during this interview, maybe that's why she looks robotic here.
Ex machina on the surface is a very basic simple movie but it's so deep and insanely conplex for the entire movie, I'd say it's compatible to the same quality as the dark night
She perfected the role, no doubt!!!! The ending literally killed me when *SPOILER ALERT* she left Caleb, like DAMMIT I LOVED AVA. SO SAD. Caleb should have said 'no' to when Ava said " Will you stay here"? because she meant; stay in the facility or come with me? Like omg left me heartbroken looking for some hope for Caleb when Ava manipulated him to escape. She definitely had some emotion for him.
Interesting that you also picked up on that dialogue. He meant that he should wait while she was going to get changed - like when she said 'Close your eyes!' in Session 3. A classic misunderstanding, but as soon as he said 'Okay', he vanished from her attention. I don't think, however, that she had emotions for him. For her Caleb was just one of two morally flawed prison-guards and her one chance to escape Nathan's tech-bunker.
@kshamwhizzle I agree with you entirely. She also did a test on him and he failed on many points, like not closing his eyes when she asked him to, or not thinking about Kyoko in his plans to break out Ava. Most of all he didn't get Nathan inebriated as he said he would, which caused the bloody stand-off and Kyoko's destruction. Caleb is unreliable and a liability for Ava. When she says 'Will you stay here', it's less a question as it is an assessment of Caleb's destiny, which she enforces with slight nodding of the head. She seems a bit disappointed though that he proved to be such a splasher : )
Love Alicia Vikander. She is the best! She has a boyfriend named Michael Fassbender. Love her British accent, instead of American. She sounds British and she is Swedish.
I'm from Sweden and we all learn English often start when we are 8/9 years old. So you often put on a accent from the beginning and just stuck with it. My accent is kinda British/European.
I feel a credible sequel could/should be made. What DOES happen when a very human AI enters society? Just as she seduced Caleb she could seduce society appearing to want to fit in BUT actually wants to begin the "take over" movement.
What an awful interviewer... I mean, the guy was given the chance to talk with Alícia Vikander herself and does that? Are you kidding me? Btw, she is really amazing, what a role she did, what a hell of an actress she is. I've seen Danish Girl recently, and she have done such a great work there too. I believe her to be, alongside with Felicity Jones and Emília Clarke, the best actress of these days! Success for her on her future works!!!
Oh!! I haven't made the connection at all, somehow, and I've only seen both The Danish Girl and Ex Machina in the last couple of months. She was amazing there too, yes!
