People are everything, everything is human

"Super Body" is actually somewhat experimental and avant-garde. It tries to use images or images wrapped in commercial blockbusters to tell some ideas, and this idea is the ultimate exploration of humans and even all things, which itself is much more difficult than words. , And the editing of the film and some logical points do have problems, but it still does not affect my liking for this film. First, it is about the origin of the universe. Second, it can trigger my thinking. For me, this enough.

The film was watched in the giant screen hall with friends on the second day of the screening. After it was over, many people chose to leave the scene silently and quickly. However, my friends and I sparked intense discussions and exchanges. Our views on each other There is identity, but each has its own starting point. On the weekend, another friend said that after her cousin went to see the movie, she said that she didn’t understand it. So now, I want to talk about my point of view, which is only based on my stand and The point of view on comprehension.

The first third part of the film is easy to think of another film "Never Ending", which is also the rapid development of the human brain triggered by the blue pill, but the expression is slightly dull, but it is quite in line with Luc. Besson's consistent violent aesthetic style. And those more detached "Animal World" insertions and cell divisions at the beginning are very important details. It is the key point to understand the concept of the film after the end of the film, echoing the beginning and the end.

So, watching this movie I also went through a process from boring to sudden. If the first five minutes can attract the audience as the judging criteria, undoubtedly, this movie has failed. Of course, if you have the patience and persistence Coming down, and being good at mobilizing brain cells, is still a lot of fun.

Okay, let’s get back to the topic. Someone told me that this movie was unfinished. In fact, it’s the opposite. The end of the movie is the essence. Everyone who has watched the movie knows that the plot of the story is not complicated. Lucy was forced to carry it inside her body. The CHP4 burst and was absorbed by the body’s cells, starting the over-exploitation of the brain. Generally speaking, the use of the human brain is 10%. The movie inserts a lot of realistic images here, that is, a human who uses only 10% of the brain created it. Many miracles, what if more were developed? And Lucy went on to demonstrate this hypothesis. Here, the film has been separated from the path of "Never Ending" and entered a deeper discussion of physics. As a liberal arts student, I really can’t say such advanced physical terms, but apparently Lucy’s superpower comes from the control of the magnetic field. There is an important turning point here, which is not to limit humans to humans. It's all things. People are all things, and all things are people. Lucy is just a mirror, convenient to tell.

First insert my friend here, a super Marvel fan’s feelings in this film that Lucy’s final result is the ultimate goal of human evolution-the dissipation of form. This theory is not new and is used in In many science fiction works, it can be understood that this is an entry point for the film, but this is only a hidden level, in fact, it can be more in-depth.

The more in-depth part lies in the final journey of Lucy at the end of the film, returning to the universe. The mystery of the universe has always been a direction that humans are exploring. How did it come about? Both human beings and all things come from "one" (the mystery of "one" that has not been fully solved so far), from "one" to "infinity", then from "infinity" to "one", and finally from "one" to "Infinity", this is the true meaning of Lucy's "everywhere", that is, the theory I said above that people are everything and everything is human. And from the cell division at the beginning of the film to the cell fusion at the end of the film exactly echoes. In fact, there are many details in the film to clarify this concept, such as the concept of "time", time is the only measurement unit, human existence comes from the memory of "time", but everything without memory also exists because of "time" , So once time is lost, everything must be the same; and Freeman’s Ph.D. talks about “human beings will choose to multiply their offspring in a suitable environment and implant common memories into them; if it is in a harsh environment, they will Self-evolution", so the human beings here are only human beings as species. If you can extract yourself as a "human" from these points, you can understand that the film is actually trying to explain the matter itself. So many problems have come again, which is also part of the film's flaws.

Lucy once said that in the process of developing her own brain power, emotions and moral concepts are becoming indifferent. This is also an interesting stalk of the French police when they see Lucy's superpowers and ask herself what else is useful. Yes, it is repeated in the film. When emphasizing the material concept, it did not solve the human emotional origin (my friend said, at that stage, this issue does not need to be considered, but we are still at the 10% stage, so let’s ask about it), CHP4 This element from the matrix emphasizes the improvement of human intelligence, but does not explain the causes of emotions, those unique human emotion elements related to love, hate, jealousy, envy, evil, kindness, etc., so from this perspective In other words, the film still has very big loopholes and is not very successful.

In fact, the film has some other points that can be communicated, but I want to stop here, after all, some things are inherently infinite, and everyone’s understanding is likely to be different, but as a hard science fiction, it is only 90 minutes long. Although "Super Body" has flaws, it is negligible for me.

Lucy quotes

  • Lucy: Humans consider themselves unique so they've rooted their whole theory of existence on their uniqueness. One is their unit of measure, but it's not. All social systems we've put into place are a mere sketch. One plus one equals two. That's all we've learned, but one plus one has never equaled two. There are, in fact, no numbers and no letters. We've codified our existence to bring it down to human size to make it comprehensible. We've created a scale so that we can forget its unfathomable scale.

  • 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.
