The statement in the movie is:
1. Ability to use one's brain 100% (ordinary people can only use 20%);
2. IQ is as high as four digits.
Regrettably, these two assumptions are nonsense. The first one is a well-known neuroscience rumor. If you can find a lot of papers to refute this rumor on CNKI, the second one is even more nonsense. It's reliable. Where can I find a way to measure IQ in the world, the value can range from two digits to four digits? Not to mention that IQ is never the same as intelligence, intelligence is not the same as smart, and smart is not the same as ability.
In other words, the hypothesis of the whole plot is a castle in the sky, highlighting the lack of knowledge of the screenwriter. In fact, there have always been a lot of smart people filming. The main point is nothing more than teamwork, and the collective talents of everyone "simulate" a very smart and improbable character. At this time, the short-board effect will appear. For example, the short-board in this film is the few Chinese at the end. Because the crew did not find anyone who understands Chinese, the credibility of the whole story suddenly drops, and the joyfulness rises sharply.
Speaking of this theme of taking medicine to become smart, I am most emotional than the great short story "Flowers for Algernon". The Tajikma in the Ghost in the Shell also used this stem. , It is really embarrassing. In contrast, the film seems a bit heartless.
In fact, due to the lack of screenwriting ability, the film is mixed with a lot of vulgar routines, such as diaosi turned into a rich overnight, very smart investment banks, Wall Street conspiracy theories, and the final ending is even more frivolous. Compared to many other movies about drug psychedelics, it is really weak. . The protagonist who took the medicine but didn't take the medicine, the usury Russian is even weaker.
Of course, it cannot be said that this film is useless, the plot is mediocre, but the lens language is very imaginative, the big zoom at the beginning-especially the reflection through the car window after falling is really wonderful, the use of tones before and after the drug, etc., make people Can't help but suspect that the director got this idea after taking drugs.
There is no doubt that drugs/narcotics are indeed a great source of inspiration. From the 2001 Space Odyssey, Clockwork Orange to Train Guessing, Requiem of Dreams, the excavation of drug-taking experience has become a stunning artwork, Matrix fans Or fans of Philip K. Dick must have seen the speech video. His dark scanner can almost be regarded as a semi-autobiography of his struggle with drugs, and obviously the most terrifying thing is never the drug itself.
There are many things we can dig out about smartness and drug use. In this sense, the topic of never ending is really relevant.
