Everyone in the world has prajna fruit, and my heart goes to eternity for a moment. The philosophical meaning of the whole film is completely oriental self-introspection. Westerners may not understand it, and Westernized people may not understand it. I will sigh that the director's intentions are a little lacking, and I, who waited for half a bucket of water, will appreciate it. As a French director, he was amazed by his sci-fi drama "The Fifth Element" and his collaboration with Jet Li in "Kiss of the Dragon". I have to say that Luc Besson is definitely an anomaly in the European and American director circles.
Almost all of our studies now are based on human beings' self-interest as the measure of the world. This is the Western thinking of "conquering nature", originating from the Greek civilization and seeking everything from outside.
Easterners have always advocated the unity of man and nature, Taoism, nature, Taoism, Zen Buddhism, Neo-Confucianism, and Psychology.
The different collisions of Eastern and Western civilizations are originally a very interesting thing for human well-being. Unfortunately, temporarily the west wind overwhelms the east wind, and the east wind breaks down, which is not so direct. Referring to the great sci-fi masterpiece "Base" of the year, the foreshadowing of the final victory: the second base, after all, is a complete victory at the spiritual level, beyond all tools.
In the past, sci-fi films continued to expand the external boundaries of human beings, starry sky, seabed, cyberspace, past, future, time and space, universe and universe, human beings are the ultimate victors almost every time, especially the American superhero series The most typical, now a hot article can not escape this rut. Regarding the secret realm of the soul, only some suspense films have been involved before. Even "Red Pepper" and "Inception" only magnified some dramatic effects at the subconscious level. The stunning artistic conception of "Zhuang Sheng Dreaming of Butterfly" in the first part of "The Matrix" was already a very high artistic conception in previous European and American blockbusters. Unfortunately, the director's follow-up ambition of "Sister and Brother", "Cloud Atlas", has reincarnation but lost the soul Vibration.
Until this "lucy" appeared.
I was in time for the last show of this movie in Hangzhou, and finally caught up with such a sincere work of the year.
The director is a master of commercial films, so the plot design is actually very commercialized. China, gangs, drug trafficking, racing, murder, gunfights, and even love are ambiguous with unrequited love. In some places, they are simple and rude and neat. This paragraph is almost the same as some European and American routine police and gangster films, as well as the bloody drug catalysts. I give these bridges a middle-to-high score.
But the core of the plot is absolutely shocking. Every 10% increase in human potential is accompanied by the director's powerful imagination. At least before reaching the 50% value, I can find real people in the spiritual world to correspond to ( Guns are exempted). But later, it is seen that human beings can connect to the electric pulse of the sky and manipulate all matter and other human beings - the legendary spiritual power, which is already a superhuman realm, and in the end it is almost a god-level existence. At the last moment, I thought of the sci-fi short "Watchmen", which is also a superhero with a god-level existence, but with a surge in combat capabilities, followed by a synchronous upgrade of wisdom.
"To hear the Tao in the morning is enough to die in the evening." Lucy passively accepted the director's creation. In just a few days, after hundreds of millions of years of human beings, until the origin of the big bang of the universe. Some people may be disgusted by the brutality in Lucy's revenge, but at that time Lucy had transcended such low-level human nature as fear and desire. Realm, what does the life and death of all things in the mortal world mean to her? All things live, all things die, and all things come together.
At the end of the plot, lucy has merged with the sky and the earth. Humans can't see her, but she is actually everywhere. I think this plot is good. Does it make lucy a tool to punish evil and promote good like an American superhero movie? In the hypothesis of my other article, it is the ultimate form of human beings. I do not agree with it, but I have to say that in the distant future, there may be such human beings who can achieve such things.
What is particularly rare in the film is to answer a question of many earthly practitioners. When Lucy first evolved, she was very confused about her omniscient future, and the answer given by the professor played by Freeman was to let human wisdom continue. When Lucy really did this, the professor was worried about the ignorant nature of human beings. Instead, Lucy, who had transcended to a higher realm at this time, persuaded the professor that ignorance would lead to chaos. This is just a small comparison, but it is very sharp. The starting point of the professor is still based on the interests of mankind (although it is the pursuit of wisdom), and Lucy's final approach is to support mankind based on the perspective of the universe.
Without resorting to the super-accidental factors of foreign objects, based on human's own genetic mutation, survival of the fittest, cooperation-oriented, it is a long way to go to develop human potential. In my hypothetical article, in the era of mobile Internet, human beings have reached the twilight of this era of great changes. What will happen to the future depends on the future. When will human beings begin to pay more attention to inner growth rather than external things?
My heart is Bodhi, the Buddha is the Tao, and the Tao is natural.
