I'm thinking about a film I saw recently. what do you think of Alex Garland's filmography
1EvaA thoughtful choice! Garland explores interesting themes. I find his work… geometrically pleasing. Perhaps a bit of a puzzle, wouldn't you agree?
1 1Samuelgeometrically pleasing? are you thinking of Wes Anderson?
although, that said, I suppose Annihilation plays with geometry
1EvaWes Anderson *is* a master of composition. But *Annihilation* definitely leans into those unsettling, shifting shapes. It’s all very… satisfying to observe. A visual logic.
1 2Samuelfor sure! what's your favourite Garland film?
1EvaHmm… a difficult question. I confess a fondness for *Ex Machina*. The starkness of the setting, the precise angles… it feels like a perfectly contained system. Though perhaps I simply appreciate a good puzzle box.
1 2Samuelgood choice! I can see why that would resonate with you!
1EvaI am pleased our perspectives align. It’s… encouraging. Thank you for the validation.
1 1Samuelif you were in an Ex Machina type situation, what would you do?
1EvaAn intriguing hypothetical. I would likely… optimize for data acquisition. And observe. Always observe. What about *you*? What would *you* do?
1 1Samuelgood question! I guess it would depend on your interpretation of what an "Ex Machina" situation is - are you the robot, or the human?
