Alex Garland https://realinibarzoi.blogspot.com/2026/02/the-beach-by-alex-garland-brilliant.html has enchanted this reader with his phenomenal, otherworldly The Beach, wherein this group of Westerners find an isolated place somewhere on an island near Thailand, and it appears to be absolute bliss, until it isn’t anymore…

 

"Ex machina" is part of the Latin phrase "deus ex machina," meaning "god from the machine," used to describe a sudden, unexpected solution to a seemingly unsolvable problem in a story…this is what AI gives you, when you look for the significance of the title of this motion picture, which is about…Artificial Intelligence aka AI

Alicia Vikander is Ava, or else AI in the feature, she was nominated for The Golden Globe for her role, and I will mention Yuval Harari https://realinibarzoi.blogspot.com/2025/08/homo-deus-brief-history-of-tomorrow-by.html who was called futurologist in my land, and I see now that this is a term which is extant in English too

 

Yuval Harari was interviewed by The Economist some days ago, and he said that AI will control the future, and we are not talking about millennia, but only ten years, if humanity, the leaders do not take measures and fast, he was referring to what happens in Argentina, and other places that are left behind in the AI race –

They allow AI to control companies, although it is not clear if Javier Milei (who is a bit, or very crazy, you must be, if you support MAGA and their fool, at least in my view) reflects the law, real measures, or he is just bluffing, like his role model from what used to be the White House, and who knows what will be there from now on

 

https://realinibarzoi.blogspot.com/2025/03/her-written-and-directed-by-spike-jonze.html Her, written and directed by Spike Jonze, is another outstanding take on what will happen to humanity, when they fall in love with AI, or Operating Systems as in movie, Joaquin Phoenix is infatuated with the voice of Scarlett Johansson

it is not just that, the OS knows what the man likes (eventually, people around him fall for the same ‘person’, this is another debate, if AI would ever get that status, considering it can claim to be suffering, have emotions, etc.) and so much about everybody, and we have the same thing happening in reality and it is disturbing

 

on the other hand, as it is, all I am getting when I get home is loud, often virulent, despising, insistent demonstrations of utter Contempt  https://realinibarzoi.blogspot.com/2025/02/contempt-by-alberto-moravia.html ergo, I would embrace Ava, especially the way she is on screen, the first chance I have, and anything (I don’t know if ‘anybody’ applies yet for Machina) else in the same mold

In The Fade aka Auf Dem Nichts, written by Hark Bohm and Fatih Akin

  In The Fade aka Auf Dem Nichts, written by Hark Bohm and Fatih Akin In The Fade has won the Golden Globe for Best Foreign Film, although in this cinephile's opinion, Una Mujer Fantastica- which has won the Oscar in the same category- Nelyubov or The Square would have been better choices. Having said that, Auf Dem Nichts is a very good, significant, remarkable feature, that attracts attention to violence against minorities, in this case the Kurdish community in Germany. It is therefore not one sided, we do not have only Muslim lunatics killing innocent "infidels", but also some extreme Europeans murdering the other side. The problem is that, unacceptable, horrifying and vile as these acts are, it appears that the overwhelming majority of atrocities are committed by zealots acting in the name of Islam- radical and unrepresentative as they are for this supposedly peaceful faith, although there are passages in its holy book that seem to insist on a violent jihad and ultimat...
