      farther and farther from the master

      "This Killer Is Not Too Cold" + "Inception" + "2001 A Space Odyssey" is Luc Besson's positioning for the film. It is true that this is a good-looking movie, but the level of this movie is limited to Good-looking, not up to the level of classics, Luc Besson brought a visual feast, but did not surpass himself...
      imitating himself, the shootout and camera processing of "This Killer Is Not Too Cold" has been revived in this film Interpretation, this is the consistent style of Luc Besson, don't...

      Movies made from PPT

      1
      There are not many directors who dare to do such a thing when making a movie in the way of ppt.

      Regarding the argumentative concept of this film, I happen to support the negative argument. Many scientists believe that the development and utilization of the human brain has almost reached its limit. So, like never ending, using this theory as a foundation to tell a story, I can watch it. But using the whole movie to illustrate this theory, I don't support it. The story of...

      Why not just translate it as Lucy! ?

      A rare French movie, it really still has French feelings. The hero and heroine can kiss for more than 3 hours together, but fortunately they didn't get excited to anything else. In fact, I want to say that the entire film is Morgan Freeman's classroom, just expounding Morgan Freeman's theory into reality and presenting it to people. If the development exceeds 20%, will it grow a dolphin-like sonar system?
      After the development exceeds 20%, will the heat dissipation of the brain heat up?...

      Everyone in the world has prajna fruit, my heart is forever

      What is the potential of human beings? The answer is the god-level creator.
        Everyone in the world has prajna fruit, and my heart goes to eternity for a moment. The philosophical meaning of the whole film is completely oriental self-introspection. Westerners may not understand it, and Westernized people may not understand it. I will sigh that the director's intentions are a little lacking, and I, who waited for half a bucket of water, will appreciate it. As a French director, he was...

      Become a god

      So far, a terrific movie was born. From the promotion to the moment before I watched the movie, I thought it was just a female superhero movie, but this really disappointed me, but the welcome came. A surprise like never before. If you have ever wondered how human beings came to be, what human consciousness is, whether human beings have souls or are they just produced by brain cells, and what will human brains look like when they are developed to the limit. This film is more suitable for...

Anyway, she's pretty and beautiful, so I put all my superpowers on her, and you won't mind, by the way, Sister Widow won't save the world because She is the world", also known as "super body".

      As expected, the naked goddess was brutally killed by scissors, perhaps it was the part where she was decomposed on the plane and then reborn. Regarding the grand proposition of the origin and end of life, Luc Besson used a large number of dense associative montages in the first half to make it go beyond the general sci-fi meaning and endow it with anthropological meaning. In the words of a bean friend who commented on "The Three-Body Problem": the end of physics is mathematics, the end of...

      Brain science is a serious and interesting subject. The concept of "Super Body" is good but the shooting is scattered. For the Wachowskis, maybe it is the same starting point as the Matrix, and for Nolan, it is at least scientifically rigorous. argument. Everyone has a brain, and the degree of development varies greatly. We must believe in the existence of extraordinary talents, and we must also believe that drugs such as drugs can activate some things in the brain, liberate the shackles formed...

    Behind the scenes gags

    Luc Besson once described the film as ""This Killer Is Not So Cold" + "Inception" + "2001: A Space Odyssey". Many scenes in the film pay tribute to the three classics.
    Although many media reports claimed that Angelina Jolie initially took over the film, this claim was denied by the director himself. After only interviewing a few actresses, he was moved by Scarlett Johansson's performance.
    When Lucy appeared in Times Square in the film,...

    Positive view

    Although not adapted from any comics, "Super Body" is the best comic-style movie in a long time. It combines the classics of Luc Besson with the madness of Quentin Tarantino, and has The visual mystery of Kubrick's "2001: A Space Odyssey" and Terrence Malik's "Tree of Life". ( "Austin Chronicle" review )
    The plot of the film is bold and visually adventurous. Although it is sometimes funny, it is never sloppy and very catchy in general....

    Movie quotes

    • Professor Norman: Animal life on Earth goes back millions of years. Yet most species only use 3 to 5% of its cerebal capacity. But it isn't until we reached human beings at the top of the animal chain that we finally see a species use more of its cerebral capacity. 10% might not seem like much, but it's a lot if you look at all we've done with it.

      [first flight, fighter jets, road way, armies, robots, stock market, rockets, satellite]

    • Professor Norman: For primitive beings like us, life seems to have only one single purpose: gaining time. And it is going through time that seems to be also the only real purpose of each of the cells in our bodies. To achieve that aim, the mass of the cells that make up earthworms and human beings has only two solutions. Be immortal, or to reproduce. If its habitat is not sufficiently favorable or nurturing, the cell will choose immortality. In other words, self-sufficiency and self-management. On the other hand, if the habitat is favorable, they will choose to reproduce. That way, when they die, they hand down essential information and knowledge to the next cell. Which hands it down to the next cell and so on. Thus knowledge and learning are handed down through time.
