					<description><![CDATA[I thought the hand gesture meant she was about to kill someone, just like Morgan was about to kill Dr. Shapiro when she did the hand gesture. BUT. Morgan &quot;uploading&quot; herself into Lee might be a genius twist as well. I enjoyed this movie enough not to be trying to out think the writers and director.

I was expecting a fight scene with Dr. Cheng.]]></description>

Agreed completely.  At the end i took it that Morgan had actually won. She downloaded into the l4. Morgan was infact superior.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[In reply to &lt;a href=&quot;https://taylorholmes.com/2016/09/02/detailed-morgan-movie-review-explanation/#comment-895723&quot;&gt;Michael&lt;/a&gt;.

First, I truly enjoyed the movie. I&#039;ve never seen Bladerunner, unfortunately, but will now. 
Next, Michael, I was frustrated by the internet&#039;s lack of Mandarin scene translations as well but I eventually stumbled upon a site which gives the entire script in English. Google Morgan (2016) Movie Script SS. (SpringfieldSpringfield) I&#039;ll allow you to find and enjoy that for yourself, easy enough though.
I thought the foreshadowing of Kathy calling Lee an assassin was brilliant as it was intentionally meant to come off as figurative so early into the film, or maybe &quot;hands-off&quot; is a better term than &quot;figurative&quot;. As the plot progresses and the viewer is more privy to the backstory and intricacies of the characters, we can look back to Kathy&#039;s zinger with some &quot;ahaa!&quot; amusement as Lee is a very &quot;hands-on&quot; literal assassin. 
Mx, I think your explanation of the hand gesture at the end is highly plausible. They were careful not to make us certain of Morgan being deceitful in her behaviors initially in the film, just wary of the possibility. But I believe that it is only when she makes the hand gesture initially that truly understands her true nature, though she grapples with it subconsciously from the moment she kills the deer, even more so after the arrival of Lee. Lee has experienced a far greater sense of freedom and knows exactly what she is, but hadn&#039;t yet had the experience of confronting what she wasn&#039;t. Perhaps that hand gesture was truly an AI evolutionary moment. She clearly grappled with some emotional shifts in several of her interactions with Skip where she appeared to genuinely want to engage him and not merely for informations sake. All the way up until he asks about Amy, which seems to bring her back to her directive. (Remember how flustered she was about the Skip/Amy relationship on the porch? Very &quot;unstoic&quot;, naturally and personally inquisitive. A tinge of the jealous emotion which would be a bit of foreshadowing from the porch since he was jealous of Morgan and died because Lee was a bit jealous about him asking after Amy twice? Maybe?)]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Your review was missing a lot of things... but dont worry the movie had a lot of holes in it as well... It was worth watching but movies made today as opposed to the days of Bladerunner well there&#039;s no comparison; thats for another day. Your review missed the scenes that required translation from Chinese to English, first when Lee meets Dr Cheng and then when Morgan is about to kill Dr Cheng. I cant find any translation anywhere about this in the internet and I had hoped that you would cover it. I need to find myself a cool Chinese friend as clearly this is the way Hollywood is going with China becoming the new empire (that we all learn Chinese which might be easier). One last thing the last scene where Lee puts her hands together  and palms up the same way Morgan did, does that mean she is happy to be a killer? Its these sort of questions and there are thousands of them, that is the difference between this and a film like bladerunner, its not that we don&#039;t want some mystery but there&#039;s thousands of loose ends and not tying them together is the problem - everybody has a different answer. That and the better script. Oh and to the guy that compared this to Lucy, Lucy was rubbish so bad that they are having another crack in Ghost in the Shell, which is basically Lucy meets Virtousity meets Aeon Flux (now i&#039;m showing my age) . So the correct order is Bladerunner then a tie between Morgan and Ex-Machina then Lucy.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Morgan&#039;s &quot;twist&quot; was easy to guess based on Kate Mara&#039;s stand-offish attitude right from the get-go. No surprise there to anyone over 30 who wasn&#039;t dazzled by &quot;Inception&quot; or thinks that film is worth drooling over.

In any case, a regrettable dud of a film. &quot;Lucy&quot; blows this lackluster time-waster (with a solid cast that managed to thoroughly waste Paul Giamatti) out the water...and it&#039;s not like THAT film was extra-special or even akin to the very watchable &quot;Hanna.&quot;]]></description>
