The hero of Ex Machina was the sex robot that got her abuser killed and then locked her future abuser in the basement because he was another man that wanted to control and exploit her sexuality, although that was more of a subconscious desire on his part.
I realize the movie is sophisticated enough that one might not take away that message from the ending but I promise you it's there lol.
Yeah I absolutely loved that movie but I interpreted as a horror tale about the dangers of pretending robots are people. In the end the inventor played by Isaacs was the flawed hero who flew too close to the sun.
But I did understand that the creators likely didn't have that intention.
I did the same thing with HBO's Westworld but the creators made their messaging completely unambiguous in S2 so I had to give it up.
Thinking back on it, it's basically Twitch: The Movie, in which white knight simp gets wrung and hung out to dry by manipulative scheming attention whorebot.
Of course, but it was a fairly subtle allegory (compared to Current_Year), and as other people here have pointed out there were other valid interpretations of it.
Men... does not sound subtle from what I'm hearing.
