Did anyone else notice Caleb had.....
A big scar on his back, like the corner of a square when he first lays in bed on night one? The rest of his back is obscured by shadow and covers, but the camera definitely focuses on it. Makes you wonder if he was an AI. Or could just be a red herring, but I didn't see it the first viewing. I also found the sparkling blue lights on his face abnormal (even for FX) when he got notice he won the lottery. It was very Tron-like.
He was also unable to lie to Ava, without her knowing and she began to manipulate and outsmart him. I'm not certain, but it could also just be the author just making a statement about humanity becoming machine like and automated.
I think the movie still works with Caleb being human and we do see him bleed when he cuts his wrist, seemingly not sure if he is AI or human, so maybe the scar was a teaser.
You could also argue humans were created as "AI" by the creator...then the humans (Nathan) created their own version of AI and tried to become Gods/creators themselves. Kinda ties in with the esoteric too.
What do you think?
