Some Hero Is Setting Oscar Isaac’s Dancing In ‘Ex Machina’ To A Bunch Of Great Tunes
Never change, internet.
Before he was everyone’s favourite ‘shipbait in The Force Awakens, Oscar Isaac put in a turn as mad AI billionaire Nathan Bateman in 2015’s Ex Machina. Bateman is a heavy-drinking, narcissistic manipulator of both androids and people, and in a very weird scene designed to show just how far gone he is, Bateman abruptly starts dancing with his AI assistant Kyoko to Oliver Cheatham’s ‘Get Down Saturday Night’ as Domhnall Gleeson’s Caleb looks on, bewildered.
The blend of goofy and menacing Isaac achieves in that scene is a strangely effective and affecting bit of acting. But, this being the internet, a good dance scene can’t be left alone for long. Hence Oscar Dances, a Twitter account setting Isaac’s admittedly killer moves to an array of pop bangers for your enjoyment.
