I can’t learn Kubrick at home!

I have been looking forward to this movie since I watched the trailer, but I have been worried that the movie will actually be meaningless. With the lesson of limitless, I understand one thing, this kind of brain development story is cool and exciting, but the boss can be dropped by the protagonist in two seconds, so the rest of the story is really not interesting.

At the beginning of the film, it turned out to be an ape man running out of Rise of the Apes. This immediately reminded me of the beginning of Kubrick’s 2001 Space Odyssey. However, this ape man has worse makeup than the group of 40 years ago. . Then the story was switched to modern society like a space voyage, but the legendary switch in the space voyage has been nagged by movie fans for decades.

It may be that the movie was too much like a space voyage at the beginning, which caused me to have preconceived ideas. Later, there were some shots that made me involuntarily feel that it was just Luc Besson imitating Kubrick, but maybe my opinion is also far-fetched.

After that, I entered a very long chirp between Johnson and Dragon. You must know that this movie takes less than 90 minutes, and where they chirped for 5 minutes, it was just to send a box. He really thought it was delaying time, but at the time I thought it was really meaningful. . I still can't understand it anyway.

The whole movie is a slow-moving film, the more interesting it gets later. Maybe Scarlett’s black widow got too deep into my heart, and she was acting too hard in front of her acting scared, which made me always look at the drama. When I got up to the back, it looked more pleasing to the eye. In the end, Scarlett traveled through time and space, surpassed the limits of human technology, and saw everything in the universe. That period was really great, which made me want to give 5 stars.

Luc Besson deserves praise, he probably created a new kind of montage? (I don't know if this word is used accurately here) The technique used to express the present, the past, the universe, all the existence of human beings, it is suitable, and it has a shocking effect. It's really immersed in the rhythm when I watch it, I just want to be amazed.

At the same time, in terms of the story, he probably learned the lesson of the limitless chaotic story, and cleverly divided the whole story into different stages based on the development of the brain capacity (Cerebral Capacity), so that people would not feel that the story was too unstructured. In fact, Boss has been defeated since Lucy just developed superhuman brain power (as you would expect). After that, I never understood whether her purpose was to pass on the knowledge, whether she wanted to live, or whether she had both. . Nyima, whatever, it's pretty awkward anyway.

Exceptionally, he cleverly stopped at the climax. Of course, there is nothing to say about this. I guess he doesn't know what to do next.

Then talk about weaknesses, first of all, of course the Boss is too weak. Even the mentally retarded movie Limitless knows to set a weakness for the protagonist, or to give him an opponent who also has superhuman brainpower, this kind of duel is a bit interesting. Scarlett from the beginning to the end just looked like a brain-disabled child with no focus, otherwise he would fly his mortal enemy to the ceiling without killing him, or kill all of the bosses, and then just Leave a life to the Boss, it takes only one second to kill all enemies, but the police must go to the front to block the gun. Are you sure that we have developed all our brainpower, just this mentally retarded virtue?

Second, the ability is awesome. It is visually entertaining, but not intellectually entertaining. Aha, I can control objects and people's actions, um, it's awesome, and it seems to be full of excitement, but Magneto and Professor Cha have done this. When I wanted to watch "Comprehension" back then, I saw that the protagonist was finally so smart that all human languages ​​and symbols could no longer carry his thinking needs. He needed to create his own language and symbols. The language symbols themselves are not only a carrier, but also contain It has a lot of meaning. When I saw this, I had already kneeled and kneeled for the author, and my knees were all worn out. I feel that Lucy talked a lot in this movie. The director probably had the idea of ​​shocking the audience mentally, but I was not really shocked.

Finally, let’s talk about the traces of Kubrick. The montage of the human world and the starry sky at the end of the movie makes people can’t help but think of Kubrick’s nerves in the last 20 minutes of a space voyage. Kubrick really didn't know what he was trying to say, but here is too clear. In the end, I am afraid that everyone will not understand. Let's do it again, i am everywhere. OK, we got it! all right!? Both are a search for the future of mankind, the limit, and the unknown, a performance. If you express it too clearly, you don’t have the sense of mystery. It’s not as good as that expression. It feels like no one understands. Of course, this matter may not have been expressed in a particularly good way, but this is just some of my own stupid views.

    In fact, this is a popular science film. Would you mind the fragmentation of popular science films? Would you mind the story of popular science films? Would you mind if the characters in popular science films are weak? Of course not, because this is a popular science film for playing concepts.

    It was exactly the same as my brain perception after taking a large dose of drugs.

Lucy quotes

  • Lucy: [suddenly pinning Jang's hands to the chair with knives] Learning is always a painful process. Like when you're little, and your bones are growing, and you ache all over.

  • Pierre Del Rio: [threading the car through rush hour traffic] Do you always drive like that?

    Lucy: I've never driven before.
