Abstract

Since prehistoric times, humankind has always wondered how its own existence came to be, and has always kept this question on the agenda and continued its search for an answer. One of the central themes of all three monotheistic religions is the genesis of humanity, and the tale of Adam and Eve has frequently been the topic of oral and written literature. This story is expressed in various ways in narratives, sometimes literally and sometimes figuratively. Examples of this narrative can be found in the film, which is both modern industry and a form of art. In this study, Ex Machina (2015) movie, which is directed by Alex Garland produced by Andrew Macdonald and Allon Reich and adapts the creation myth to the modern day, would be analyzed. The movie attempts to modernize the myth in this way as it concentrates on the humanization of robots in a setting and era that are technologically far advanced beyond s present. In this context, a comparison of the film's version and the story recounted in the original myth is examined. The study's findings led to the conclusion that the movie transformed the genesis myth into a contemporary tragedy.
