A lot of studies had shown that we, humans, based on daily basis, we only use 10% of our brain. Could you imagine, we could make all of the wonders such as "comes out with a method on how to fly a huge metal throughout the sky" just by using 10 PERCENT OF OUR BRAIN'S CAPABILITY. Good news for the curious people who want to know what happen because Luc Besson has recently comes out with a movie titled Lucy making speculations on what would happen when we have the ability to use 100 percent of our brain's capabilities.
Lucy is a 2014 French science fiction action film directed, written and edited by Luc Besson, and produced by Europacorp. The film was shot in Taipei, Paris and New York City. It stars Scarlett Johansson, Morgan Freeman, Amr Waked and Choi Min-sik. Johansson portrays the title character, a woman who gains psychokinetic abilities from a nootropic drug being absorbed into her bloodstream.
When reporters ask Luc Besson about this movie,Besson stated that he intended for the first part of Lucy to be like LĂ©on: The Professional (which he also wrote and directed), the second part to be like Inception and the third part to be like 2001: A Space Odyssey. He was intrigued by the brain capacity of Lucy, a female Australopithecus afarensis, stating that her brain size was only 400g, and modern human brains weigh in around 1.4 kg. "I was very interested with all the science," he said. "When I learned one cell can send 1000 messages per cell per second and we have 100 billion cells in our body, for me, it's gigantic." He did not want to make "a documentary about the brain," and so he focused on making an entertaining film with scientific and ethical aspects, which he cited as "quite rare today." He said, "That was my goal: an action film with a purpose. When I was younger, the purpose I had was smaller. Basically, this is about us, our legacy and what we learn."A computer-animated version of Lucy Australopithecus being in the film, "modeled on the dawn of Man sequence from 2001: A Space Odyssey," is one of several of Lucy's homages.
"I live in a country of food, and you can't have a third star in a restaurant (the top Michelin rating) without risk, invention or creativity," Besson said. "I'd rather take some risks, and maybe some people will say, 'What the fuck is this film?' But some others will embrace it. I totally understand that we can't take this kind of risk on every movie, but at the same time, you can't progress if there is not risk and novelty." He added, "I guess the film has the possibility to be a hit with the American audience. Of course, I would rather that it perform and the people are happy with it.
For me, personally, this movie is awesome, because it makes my mind wondering around thinking about the endless possibilities. I would surely give 8 out of 10 rating for this movie. I give 8 because some scenes might have been redundant. Nevertheless, for the people that might want to take a sneak peek on the movie, you might wanna watch the trailer first.
