Hard question because I watch so much horror..
Ex Machina
How is she evil? Her maker imprisoned and tortured all of his creations. She justifiably wanted to escape. She couldn't trust the kid, he lied to her about there being no other machines. If anyone was "evil" it was the rich dude.
I don't recall entirely but I'm pretty sure it didn't know that. Also, I don't think you can 'torture' or 'imprison' computers.
So, death is justifiable then?
It's an AI, and it was pretty clearly demonstrated at the end that it felt no remorse or compassion for the dude. It was very very good at manipulating the humans and achieving it's goal at any cost, so.. I completely disagree. Evil wins because living, feeling human beings suffered due to the actions of a sexy computer.
She found out about the other machines when she found the Asian sex slave bot.
The movie clearly shows that the robots felt pain and suffering. That's what all of the video feeds showed.
The movie clearly shows that the robots acted as if they felt pain and suffering.
I thought the ending made it pretty clear that in the end, they are cold calculating and very intelligent machines with no actual feelings or compassion, and we had been deceived the whole time. My interpretation I guess, but I feel like that makes the movie better.
Definitely open to interpretation. It's a good ending.
I don't think she didn't trust him, I think she wasn't programmed to care about him and only saw him as a tool instrumental to her escape. Since he could no longer help, she didn't care what happened to him
Given her situation, that might still not count as Evil, though.
