'Superbody' movie review: The bathtub can't be filled with water from the Pacific Ocean

I watched "The Fifth Element" with my college roommate many years ago, so I remember Milla Jovovich and her then-husband Luc Besson. In addition to this work, Luc Besson's most famous film in China, I think it should be "The Killer Is Not Too Cold" starring Natalie Portman. It's a pity that I haven't watched the film "The Killer" yet, but I will find information to supplement it in the next two days.

In the 2014 film "Super Body", Luc Besson borrowed "a young woman who was forced to become a drug dealer, and then the drug was poured into her own body, which gave her superhuman powers: including telepathy, instant Absorb knowledge and other skills, and make her an omnipotent "Superwoman"." Such a story core, to tell one's own cognition of the world: the end of physics is mathematics, the end of mathematics is philosophy, the end of philosophy is theology. What about the end of theology?

At the beginning of the film, Scarlett was involved in a shootout at the door of the hotel. The director interspersed the scenes of cheetahs preying on antelopes in nature, and also implied the strong prey of the weak in the human world. At the end of the film, Scarlett was injected with a large amount of drugs, and after absorbing a lot of information, she traveled in various time and space, facing various species, which also implies that knowledge can help people transcend life and death.

There are two lines in the film that I think are worth pondering over:

Humans think they are different, so the theory of human existence is based entirely on their uniqueness, and the individual is their unit of measurement, but that's not the case, all the social systems we run are just a sketch, we only know one plus One equals two, but one plus one is not equal to two at all. The world has no numbers and no letters. We have inserted our existence into the framework of human beings to make it easy to understand. We have created a system to forget the original incomprehension. system.

what is the meaning of life? It is transmission. From the origin of life, human beings have begun to transmit it. Only here will it develop to the level it is today!

At the end of the story, Scarlett became a super USB stick, and her consciousness was "everywhere".

It can be seen that the director's world view is grand, but I think this story core is not enough to carry such a grand world view. Just like a bathtub cannot be filled with water from the Pacific Ocean.

The last thing I want to say is that Scarlett is really beautiful and cool. Put two pictures.
