In the movie Ex Machina, the humanoids were capable of experiencing pleasure.

It is polite, when discussing a movie still in theaters, to do this:
SPOILERS (followed by a gap, so that readers who'd prefer to not have the movie given away can avert their eyes):
In the movie Ex Machina, we are not sure if the robots experienced pleasure. The robot said it was, but it was likely a deception it employed to manipulate the protagonist. It definitely did not feel empathy, love, remorse. It was by all human accounts a psychopath. -

May 16, 2015 12:29 PM GMTInteresting movie title. Ex Machina is Latin for "from the machine". I know another form of the term from my theatre degree work: "Deus Ex Machina". With a late medieval Latin pronunciation that I'll approximate in my own phonetic spelling: "day-ous ex mock-ee-nah".
Meaning "God from the machine". Medieval "miracle plays" often resolved plot dilemmas by having some Heavenly figure lowered by rope onto the stage from above on a crane (ex machina), to magically provide a happy, and mostly implausible, ending. I'd be curious if this movie contains any of those elements. -

Thanks for the reply.
From the Machine - interesting
God from the machine - yes, there was a play I was in and that term came up. Was that Fall '80 or Sp '81. Natchitoches, LA.
Let me see if I google that what comes up, if anything.
No, those days at Northwestern State University are decades ago.
