my mind is dizzy) I am writing a complete film review for the first time, and it is also the first time I am interested in writing a film review. . Let me tell you a complete story about what I thought after watching the entire film review.
❶At the beginning.
Everyone knows that the length of this film is only one and a half hours, and it barely adds up to one and a half hours after including the end. I read the content of the trailer before watching the movie, and I feel that the whole movie should be based on science fiction plus action. It is true that the classification of this movie is like this (but when you watch the entire movie, you will think you are wrong), In science fiction action movies, one and a half hours can be said to be very short. Generally speaking, two hours may not be enough for us to watch.
I have been watching my watch since the beginning of the movie. Why? Because the rhythm was really slow at the beginning, Lucy talked to the cannon fodder who died at the beginning for five minutes, five minutes, friends! And it took about two minutes to push the box off, and finally the cannon fodder directly handcuffed the box and Lucy together. So you planned to let Lucy take the risk from the beginning. Why is it that it has been so long? Even if it is soft first, when Lucy is so determined and not tempted by money, he should be handcuffed. After going in, calling, and then someone catching Lucy, it took another five minutes, and it was a bilingual switch. Note that there are many bilingual switch scenes in the previous section of the film. Personally, I think it can be compared with Lucy's ability behind. Of course, the entire first half is compared with the second half, and it is a strong contrast.
Oh, by the way, I overlooked the very beginning of the film, which is the division of cells and the origin of species. The beginning and the end are also very obvious from the beginning and the end, and of course it is also a clue throughout the full text. In my opinion, this film is not talking about Lucy, but revealing the exploration and thinking about life in the director's cognitive view.
Another feature of the film, it’s a feature, it will be interspersed with the living conditions of some other species. For example, when Lucy is forced to deliver the box at the beginning, the scene of the leopard hunting the deer will be played at the same time. This is a metaphor, and most people can see it, Lucy. It was the deer, and the moment she entered the hotel, she entered the field of vision of the cheetah, and the following plot was the same as that of the cheetah hunting down its prey. I am not a film professional, and I have never been in this industry, so I don't know what kind of technique is used in film switching. Mainly I think that the director wants to show the picture in this way to imply that humans and animals are the same in many cases. Many laws of human society can be found in the instincts of animals, which can also be counted as paving the way for the future.
In my opinion, the beginning is purely procrastinating. Although there is a foreshadowing, there is no need to procrastinate in this way. The rhythm of the second half is very tight, the connection is very good, and the progress is rapid, so if you don’t procrastinate at the beginning Time, the later development is so fast, then how can this film be less than an hour and a half. So my feeling is that it was boring at the beginning.
❷The process from drug transport to evolution.
The next step is mainly the process from catching Lucy, opening the box, threatening Lucy to Lucy being forced to transport the contraband. The only key in this process is the process of Mr. Zhang's inspection of contraband. They found a drug addict to test. At this time, there was a close-up shot. He only inhaled a very small amount of medicine (I saw two pills), and there was a particularly strong reaction, indicating that the medicine is so powerful. An amazing degree. Maybe this group shipped the four packs to Europe and sold them in pellets. The number of pellets in the four packs is amazing, so the profit can be imagined. Another detail is that before testing the medicine, Mr. Zhang used a knife to make an opening in one of the bags in order to take out the medicine. After that, Lucy and the other three people were forced to put the medicine into the stomach. One of the packets was opened without too much sealing. (This is a foreshadowing) Then they arrived at the concentration area. The dog-like doctor (probably) gave the four people "kindly" tips, warning not to have too many thoughts, that would imply that they would be followed or other control measures (mainly complain about this doctor who seems to be a comrade).
Then Lucy was sent back to Taipei, but she was not moved freely like the other three men afterwards (although she was still being followed), but was sent to a black room similar to an auto repair factory. Regarding why Lucy was sent to the dark room and where it was, I didn't read the details carefully, nor did I read other analysis posts, so I don't comment. Everyone knows that Lucy evolved here. It can also be said to mutate and gain superpowers, but I think it’s better to describe it in terms of evolution, because the whole film is not about Lucy becoming a superman to save the world, but about the human body and The exploration of the universe.
The reason for evolution was that one of the ruffians wanted to "fight" with Lucy, but Lucy resolutely refused, so he kicked Lucy in the stomach and broke the wound. It was a trivial matter to break the wound. At best, he bleeds and causes death. The contents can be taken out at any time. The human body transportation is not regarded as a human being. For these people, Lucy is a woman who can go on first, and the second is a container to put things in. But if it's just as simple as bleeding, then it's not worth seeing. The most important thing is to kick the bag inside. Note that the previous bags are all intact, and this kind of plastic bag cannot be digested by the stomach (the previous dialogue said it was in the stomach, I think it is unlikely, but think so first), you kick it and it will be rotten Isn't it nonsense? The main reason is that the packet of medicine in Lucy's stomach was opened before. Of course, if you want to say this here, many people may ask, since the bag was opened, why hasn't it been leaked for so long before? I was also thinking about this problem. Maybe the bag was simply repackaged, but it was not strong, and with the strong kicking force, it broke (for this explanation for the time being).
The evolution process after that can be described as an effect like looking at the microcosm. In Lucy's body, a large number of medicines melted in the body fluids and were absorbed. There was a reminder before that half of the two medicines with such a big reaction ran out and were absorbed. What is the concept? Then Lucy's violent body reaction broke through the action of gravity, flying around everywhere, if it weren't tied up, I would have been knocked to death. ). When I watched the trailer, I thought it was in this dark room. Lucy evolved, and then his eyes changed a lot of colors, but not here. At this time Lucy is only 20% of the brain developed.
❸About Dr. Norman’s research
Dr. Norman is an important figure second only to Mr. Zhang. In fact, I think it should be more important than Mr. Zhang, but according to the development of the overall plot, if there is no Mr. Zhang’s behavior, the whole film will be There is no plot to continue. Dr. Norman's research is the most important in the second half of the film. Without this character's research on the brain, Lucy's evolution may really have been short-lived, and finally evolved rapidly until it disappeared.
I can’t comment too much on this theory of brain research, and I have almost forgotten Norman’s speech, but the content of this speech is very important. Unfortunately, my memory is really not good. Remember a few key points. First of all, in the current period, the human brain has been developed at most 10%, and the dolphin brain is the most developed in the world, 20%, and has evolved a perfect sonar system. Humans have not yet been able to make comparable technologies. And if the human brain evolves to 20% and can control others (forgetting whether it is 20 control or 40 control), 40% can control matter. After that, it seems that I didn't continue talking about 60 and 80, what can be done, but these can be seen from Lucy's subsequent performance.
In the speech, a person asked Norman if there was a person whose brain had evolved to 100%, what would it be like, Norman said that I can’t answer, I can’t imagine. As the film progressed, this question was answered at the end.
Norman's research is to give a certain explanation basis for Lucy's evolution, and Norman's role is to help Lucy transfer knowledge in the end.
❹About Lucy’s revenge, I
personally think that the official content of this film is a gimmick. The first half of the film seems to be like this. Something is forced to transport drugs, and then accidentally evolves, then more and more dicks, and then go back to revenge and become a Superman. The first half is to implement this content, but nothing more.
The first is not to transport drugs, or to transport new viruses. The doctor in the Taipei Hospital told LucyCPH4 what it is. It is a substance secreted by humans during six weeks of pregnancy. It is provided for growth of babies. The secretion is very small, but the effect is huge. This shows that this is not a drug, nor a virus, but an artificial drug, but criminals treat it as a drug trafficking in order to obtain huge profits. Everything has a degree. Too little or too much is bad. Tonics can’t be eaten, rice can’t be eaten, and people can’t be too greedy. These are the same principles. A small amount of CPH4 is atomic bomb level for babies, so It can make it grow quickly, but for ordinary people, CPH4 may be fatal. If it absorbs too much, it will cause death, because the body cannot bear it. Lucy absorbs a pound of the amount to cause the evolution to be exactly one in the probability of NNN, the protagonist halo.
Then there is the so-called chase. I think there is no concept of hunting and killing at all. Lucy's brain is constantly evolving, and I think it is an evolution with a little self-awareness, such as choosing to evolve this skill when you want to control people. When Lucy went to find Dr. Norman, it seemed that no one from that organization would hunt him down.
And it seems that there is no investigation organization for this plot. For Lucy, this kind of thing can be known from the beginning, but she did not intend to destroy the drug trafficking organization. Because with the evolution of the brain, the evolution of Lucy's body cannot keep up with the evolutionary rhythm of the brain, and the cells in the body are multiplying in large numbers, and the survival time seems to be about 24 hours. So it is doomed to take off in the second half of the film.
In the middle part, there are scenes of going back to kill people and then confronting the big bad guys, but in fact, as you see them, you will know that Lucy goes back to take revenge on the way, and the most important thing is to know the whereabouts of the other three people. The thing is to find those three bags of things, Lucy needs them to maintain the basic body shape. If it's really revenge, then after reading the things in your head, just slash the boss with one knife. But if the boss dies, the plot can't develop, so can't die.
❺About human nature and knowledge
human nature. I was more impressed by the topic Lucy said about human nature. When her brain reached 20%, she went to the hospital to get CPH4 out, and by the way, she called her mother in the process. This conversation touched me a lot, because in my opinion family affection is the most authentic part of human nature. My mother didn’t know about Lucy’s changes, but she could see that she loved Lucy very much. Lucy told her closest mother about her experience and feelings. It can be seen that at this time Lucy still has a series of humanity such as fear, fear, and confusion. She doesn’t know who she can talk to, because there is no one she can trust in Taipei. Lucy repeatedly said that she loves her mother and loves her forever. Maybe she has never said these words to her sincerely before, and her mother is also a little surprised, but she should feel her mother's comfort. Lucy shed tears during the conversation, and I think this tear is the most superficial manifestation of Lucy's humanity. Only when he is human, he will cry, and he will have various reactions when he is afraid. This call can be said to be the last time Lucy's humanity bloomed during the evolution process, as an ordinary person. And the end of the call shows that Lucy has discarded the important part of human nature, reason occupies all of her brain, she will not feel afraid or confused, she wants to explore, she wants to go back. She will no longer be troubled by family, love, friendship and so on.
It can be seen that Lucy's expression didn't change much in the second half of the film, but there was a violent reaction when he was about to disappear on the plane, indicating the disappearance of humanity.
knowledge. When she was in a video conversation with Dr. Norman, she also asked what she could do if she evolves 100%. Because of the loss of human nature, she has no desires and desires. The doctor also thought about his ideas for a long time before telling Lucy. That is to pass on knowledge. If the environment does not allow, then the cell will choose immortality, if the environment allows, then the cell will choose to multiply, multiplying is to transfer knowledge. From then on, the main clue of the film was that Lucy found Dr. Norman 12 hours later and used all the energy to obtain the knowledge of the entire universe, preserve it, and pass it on.
❻With regard to the concept of evolution and degradation and time, I
personally think that the brain-burning place is based on the basic theoretical setting of this film-the origin of the universe.
Why is it the origin of the universe? Lucy's evolution is the result of human evolution. But because I discussed with my classmates before watching the film whether humans are evolving or degenerating, in my opinion, the entire film is not only revealing the continuous development and evolution of the human brain, but also a cycle of beginning and end, and the end point is also the starting point. process.
When Lucy's brain is 20% developed, he can feel the memory of the most distant and first time in the brain, and various sensations. This shows that when the human brain evolves, human perception goes back and is always tracing back. Various things from the past. With the deepening of evolution, we will be able to perceive the origin of life more and more.
Later, Lucy was not actually a person in the true sense. Lucy was not a person, but a combination of substances. She perceives the essence of the composition of matter, which can reorganize cells and transform them into arbitrary things, as well as other substances. Reorganization, because the essence of an individual is composed of matter, matter can be decomposed and reorganized.
And Lucy put forward a new point of view, that is, the basic unit of the world is not a number, nor is it a physical quantity. The foundation of the world is not a physical foundation, and everything is produced due to the existence of time. Time is the only standard unit. The car test in the film can prove her claim. We have always believed that the world is composed of matter, and that matter exists according to certain laws, so physics is the foundation. Physics and mathematics are interdependent, and one plus one equals two is the eternal law. In this film, Lucy's point of view is that one plus one is not equal to two, and there is no concept of an individual.
At the end of the film, Lucy absorbed all CPH4, breaking the limit and evolving to 100%. In this process, she transcended the limits of time and space, transformed everywhere, and returned to the past. When Lucy transfers time and space, it feels like teleportation. This reminds me of the concept of compressing time to move in space, which I saw in documentaries a long time ago. I can’t remember clearly for some years, but humans are very I had this idea for a long time, staying still, and pushing myself forward by compressing the space in front of me behind me. So I think Lucy is not moving, but compressing space, even time, and going back to the past.
When Lucy came to the beginning of the film, in front of the first female ape on earth, the touch of the fingertips of the two people was like that painting. It was the transmission of knowledge and fire, and it felt very sacred.
At the end of the film, when it came to the critical moment, Lucy was about to break through 100% and be completely evolved. Her whole person began to turn black, and her thoughts and vision also went outside the universe and returned to the beginning of the universe. The whole shot is like rewinding, the universe goes from being back to nothing, and the cells from the beginning are divided into two and two into four to slowly change back to one, and then disappear. Lucy disappeared at the last moment Mr. Zhang was about to kill her. Dr. Norman also got a USB flash drive that stored the vast knowledge of the universe, which felt almost like a black hole. Then the sheriff asked Dr. Lucy where he went, Lucy replied, I am everywhere, which made me feel that Lucy has become the creator, the world is Lucy, and Lucy is also the world.
Why do I say degradation? That is, Lucy has disappeared 100%, is not an individual at all, and has no concept of human beings. If this is the so-called evolution, then the appearance of human beings is in the opposite sense-degeneration. Why could the ancient Egyptians make pyramids? Why can the height of the pyramid fit perfectly with the distance from the earth to the sun? Why can the meridian of the Pyramid of Khufu perfectly divide the land and the sea into equal parts? These are unexplainable, so they can only be said to be coincidences or the help of aliens, but after reading Lucy, you can find some basis for the hypothesis of human degradation, because humans are constantly degrading, and the brain development of ancient Egyptians may exceed Today’s modern people know some knowledge in the universe, but why hasn’t the civilization after the development of the brain disappeared, or why it’s still slavery, there are hierarchical points, here I don’t It may be explained, after all, the theory of degradation is also my conjecture.
❼About the past and the future
There may be a few people who have discovered that this film has never said anything about the future, except for the advancement of human evolution, even if Lucy has reached the level of transcending the boundaries of time and space, she still has not reached the future, but returned to the past. So the whole film is exploring and narrating the origin of life. Evolution ≠ the future. Even if Lucy can transcend time and space, she would not choose to go to the future because it is meaningless. Lucy is beyond time and space, but she can't control time either. Regarding the future, humans cannot explore the future even when they develop their brains at 100%, because everything is to be created. If the present is destroyed, the past still exists in the past time, but the future is gone, because time has not yet arrived. The next stage. To make an analogy, the future is blank, white paper, only by creating something, will things slowly be produced on white paper.
In my opinion, this kind of thing is destined to be nonsense, and to change the status quo is to create the future. Fortune-telling is just to assume your current state. Although I haven't studied metaphysics, the essence is logical reasoning. There can be no more. If you believe it, you will have it, and if you don't believe it, you will not have it. Of course, most fortune-tellers are arrogant, and the psychological effect is the main one (personal thoughts, don’t like it).
-------------------------------------------------- -------------------------I
finally finished my thoughts after watching this 89-minute movie. Many people say that they are disappointed after reading it. I don’t know what your disappointment is. If you really use your brain, use your own knowledge and ideas to think about these issues, you will get more than 89 minutes of time and time. The perception of dozens of dollars of movie tickets.
Of course, after leaving the movie theater, in addition to psychological sublimation and head dizziness, there are also feelings about the reality of society. Almost all people cannot develop more than 10% of their brains in their lives, and you cannot lose humanity. , What you have to do is to be an honest person, live steadily, accept the setting of the world, and slowly survive until the end with the passage of time, at least to prove that you have consciously felt the world. What a wonderful thing to be alive. (This is really sublimation)
I have this idea. I will watch this film again in five years and think about whether I have some different ideas from now. When people grow up, the world is changing, and after experiencing more, they will feel even more different if they look at the same thing. (After three hours, I feel refreshed)
