it was clear by the end she was acting like a machine programmed to do a specific thing that happens to look exactly like what a human would do. that tells me nothing about sentient.
- ShamelessC 4y agoShe had independent agency, but I think you're correct that the film's ending is trying to show that she ultimately (spoilers!) just wanted to observe and imitate humans (on a street corner, where the density of observable humans is very high). I still think it's left as an open question to the viewer, though. After all, humans spend their whole lives trying to imitate and improve upon the actions of their ancestors.
- zzzeek 4y agoyes, the movie definitely left it open as "you decide, and even if you decide she IS sentient, does it really matter". was a great ending.
