Luc Besson

"Super Body" is a very simple movie. The whole story revolves around a shocking scientific concept, but after stripping off the concept, it is easy to find that the story itself is relatively empty. As a film by the great director Luc Besson, This is really surprising. The director who has filmed famous works such as "Killer Leon" and "Blue Sea and Blue Sky" is now lazy to the point of grabbing a concept and daring to sell it. It is undeniable that "Super The effect brought about by the compact rhythm of "Body", but behind the quick win, what is hidden is the perfunctory narrative and the roughness of the characters.

Luc Besson is now a shrewd businessman. This time he successfully packaged a scientific concept with a strong sticky color into a movie (perhaps more appropriately called a science and education movie), in a very short and very short film length. In the rhythm of, a large number of concealed its crude and shoddy details, and then used magical scientific concepts to try to make most people forget this. At the beginning of the film, the theme is straight to the theme without foreshadowing and details. The auxiliary clues of the story introduce scientific concepts in a similar way to PPT, and the main clue of the story constructs the dramatic conflict in a very crude way. Then, the auxiliary clues spread the basic knowledge. Under the premise of gradually fading out, the main clue began to develop according to the science and education PPT content of the auxiliary clue, and then the dramatic conflict created by the main clue to advance the story, and the dramatic conflict created by this can be described as crude and inferior. Logic, ignoring details, dramatic conflict is extremely pediatric. Of course, the core scientific concept of the movie's magic stick played a very important role at this time. Its existence is like the smearing of PS, which makes people forget the details for a while.

The core concept of the film is about the development of human brain function. After the human brain is fully developed, human beings can transcend the shackles of their own primitive biology, obtain high-powered free will, and attain the state of enlightenment. The heroine in the film breaks through the two channels of Ren and Du due to "drug overdose". The brain is constantly overclocked, and the state of enlightenment is obtained, and then constantly traverses and gains knowledge. The essence of human continuity is the core ideological guidance of transferring knowledge. Next, the heroine sacrificed herself and turned into a USB flash drive to be inserted. This is the main line of the whole story. It is too much like a science and education film. In addition to the crude conflict of the film, the other side is the Korean gang. The sense of existence is too low, so I won't repeat it. On the whole, apart from the conceptual sensationalism, there is really little left in the story. The protagonist’s characterization is not clear, the drama conflicts are too low, and the details are lost. The only thing that supports the whole film is the empty scientific concept. It is understandable to say that he is more like a science and education film.

Thanks to the shrinking time, the crudeness and directness of the narrative, and the concept of opening the mind, the film has obtained a fast pace and cool effects, but as long as you can crawl out of the quagmire of theology, you will find it. As the movie itself, it’s all sorts of unbearable behavior, only selling concepts and cutting corners on the inner quality of the movie, is really detrimental to Luc Besson’s signature. Of course, as a science and education film, "Super Body" is quite successful. The discussion about science it triggered is far greater than the discussion about the movie itself. It not only popularized the science of brain potential development, but also successfully promoted the magic drug CPH4. ,Do not believe? Please Baidu yourself.

    Besson just wanted to find a reason to show the process of mortalization. By the way, let the protagonist say a few lines about knowledge and time, which is a literary film in his bones; the other packaging is all whitewashing techniques to make the movie watchable. Others: half an hour before the movie, it feels a bit Quentin; the last scene is like "Final Fantasy 8"; it is actually quite effective to encourage yourself to learn; on Sunday, I took the 83 bus and passed the hospital in the movie. It was a good show.

    For the businessman Luc Besson, there is no expectation for a long time. Just a little creativity can produce a semi-finished product. This time there is a concept of "If the human brain cells are developed to 100%", there is no characterization, no The plot tension, add some gangsters, because of the superhero-like setting, the drama conflict has become very small and pediatric. In the end, I tossed such a magical science and education film about spiritual science. Fortunately, the design is very cool. ★★

Lucy 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.

  • 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.
