the root of the Latin Lucia, luc, lux... which means bright. The meaning also has people who bring light.
The Christian Bible says: God says there must be light. This is how the world begins.
The title uses "light", and the heroine is called "light", which means: a new stage of evolution, a new era of mankind has begun. (Of course, the first ancient ape, the ancestor of mankind is called this name, and the inner meaning is the same, which means the beginning of a new century)
PS: In Luc Besson's movies, the heroes are often women. He has a very strong view of women saving the world. Nikita is a female hero, Lilu in the fifth element saves the world. Leon is a little girl Natalie awakens the love of a killer man, Joan of Arc, the women in Angel A are great, let alone Aung San Suu Kyi Now, female political heroes. In the director, there is also Hayao Miyazaki who has the complex of female heroes to save the world.
And this time, the female heroes in Luc Besson’s films not only save the world, but also create a new chapter in the evolutionary history of mankind. They not only use USB flash drives to convey the knowledge of history creation to scientists, but also enlighten the ancient apes, and even directly use Michelangelo. The murals suggest that God is a woman, and God is the fully evolved Scarlett Johansson :).
Brain supplement: A call from Luc Besson: Goddess! Come make my film, this time you are the real goddess.
Evolution is long, but sometimes, such as technological intervention, evolution can improve as a turning point.
What is the direction of human evolution? This film gives the answer:
when the use of the brain increases, humans can control any matter, break the barrier between matter and spirit, without time and space constraints, shuttle at will, and even change their body and change themselves at will. The space and time.
It seems very mysterious on the surface, but in fact, from the perspective of human evolutionary history, humans have been breaking the constraints of matter, space, and time.
For example, people in ancient times could only ride horses, and it would be difficult for them to travel from Asia to America in a lifetime. This can be simply understood as the constraint of space.
But humans have evolved, civilizations have developed, new technologies have become smarter, but only a little bit (the brain has a higher use rate than the ancient apes)
humans have airplanes, and the constraints of space have become smaller, reaching another continent and even reaching another continent. The alien planet is not a dream anymore.
And if we travel back even if it is only 1000 years, we tell our ancestors that we can go to the moon, our ancestors are completely incomprehensible.
1000 years is so short in the evolutionary history of mankind. It is conceivable that human beings will develop in 1000 years, and it is hard for us to imagine now.
The bondage of the physical body may be difficult to understand, but if we regard illness, birth, old age, sickness and death as a bondage to the physical body, it is easy to understand.
At the beginning of the 20th century, human beings did not have penicillin, and a pneumonia would cause death. But with penicillin, inflammation is a minor disease.
In the Middle Ages, the average life span of humans was around 40 years old. Pneumonia would kill people. Without a tetanus vaccine, a small wound might infect people. Without a rabies vaccine, you would die if you were bitten by a dog. There was no disinfection and hemostatic equipment. The mother gave birth. At that time, the mortality rate was N times as high...
and now because of the improvement of technology, the average life span of human beings has almost doubled. This can be seen as a simple example of breaking through the bondage of the body.
Medicine continues to develop, and the average human life span reaches 200 years, or even longer is not a problem.
What about after the infinite life span of human beings? After humans can repair and regenerate their damaged cells as they please?
In other words, what about the physical constraints of birth, old age, sickness, and death after they have been broken one by one?
At least from the current medical development, this is feasible in the future.
From the Buddhist point of view, the material world of our lives is just a kind of bondage and suffering. People can jump out of this world, that is, get out of the six realms of reincarnation. The enlightened person actually exists in the form of pure spirit or consciousness, and does not need the stinky skin of the flesh at all.
In the movie, Lucy evolves rapidly. First, it breaks through the basic physical limitations. Physical strength and fighting power are greatly improved (it easily defeats the Taiwanese gang in prison)
and evolves again. The consciousness breaks through the physical limitations of oneself. It can communicate with electronic and computer equipment. Then use the keyboard or mouse or remote control to control the computer equipment (to communicate with the black professor, she can directly turn on the TV and control all electronic equipment),
you can imagine a scene similar to the Matrix, the brain and the computer are directly interconnected, and there is no need Network cable and WiFi.
Evolve again, the physical barrier is broken, the direct molecular structure can be freely reorganized, etc., it is completely controlled by the physical body, rather than being controlled by the physical body (changing the color of your hair, in fact, this point also includes: what is the genetic DNA? You can modify it yourself. In the professor’s laboratory, you can change the shape of your hands as you like, freely deforming duck palms or animal claws. It’s not a problem at all.)
Evolution again, you can break through the limitations of space and change your body Move to another place in an instant, from Paris to New York, instead of the primitive way of moving with your feet, or contemporary ways such as airplanes, you use your mind or consciousness to transfer yourself to another place.
In the next step, the limitation of space and time is not a problem. Traveling to New York 100 years ago, or even earlier New York, the Indians could not understand her appearance at all, and once again traveled to the Jurassic period, the dinosaurs were only barbaric animals. Knowing to attack her (implying that non-intelligent creatures dominate the earth, but it is only a short-lived moment)
finally crossed to the era of the apes, human ancestors, this intelligent creature, although afraid of her sudden appearance, finally mustered the courage to contact her with his fingers .
In this contact, the director directly used the famous religious painting composition (Michelangelo’s "Creation of Adam")
Come to make a hint, which means that this is an evolutionary breakthrough, and the contact with the ancient apes is a kind of revelation similar to gods. (The heroine was already able to control the brains of others at that time. It was not a problem to give some knowledge to the ancient apes, for example: find a wooden stick to drill into the wood to make fire, and kill the ancestor of the monkey named Caesar... .)
Let me emphasize that this is really the most successful and brilliant place of this film: Lucy itself has completely evolved and traveled back to ancient times to make the first contact with the ancestor of mankind, the ape.
The hint here is interesting: maybe our civilization, our ancestors, apes. At that time, it was inspired by the future generations of our future generations, who traveled back to the future, and started the turning point of evolution.
It can also be said like this: When a low-level civilization that is still hunting with stones sees a high-level civilization descending from the sky doing a flying saucer, they will feel that this is the descending of a god.
The director cleverly used a cycle to imply the great meaning of the heroine: to enlighten the ancient apes and create human civilization. Give scientists a USB flash drive, enlighten contemporary people, and create a future for mankind.
And even at the end of the evolution, the boundary between inorganic and organic matter disappears. The heroine can use it at will to reorganize all the surrounding substances, such as computers and medical equipment.
The final ending is also quite exciting. The heroine disappeared. She completed the ultimate direction of evolution:
completely abandon the body and exist completely in a conscious manner (It is estimated that Luc Besson also likes Evangelion). The
last line: I am everywhere.
Scarlett Li has evolved to the top. She doesn’t play with our smooth monkeys in the three-dimensional world. She has become a god and a Buddha. Life and death do not work for her. Time and space are not restricted to her. Play with the material and spirit of these low-level creatures as you like.
Turned into a true goddess
