Lucy - That Scarlett Johansson Movie Where Having A High IQ Makes You God (I'm Not Joking)

Фильм және анимация

#scarlettjohansson #review #movie
There are a lot of ideas and stories created in order to try and provide something new to the audience. So far as I can remember, Lucy is one of the few that has the idea that if you have big brain energy you can become a God. So come join me in this video as we take a look at whatever story Lucy was supposed to be telling

    These plots are one of my movie pet peeves because we DO use 100% of our brain function. Our brains even re-wire when half a hemisphere is removed. If we only used 10% of our brains, how would we even function?

    To nuance it, we use 100% of our brain, but not silmutanously, it would otherwise be useless and overheat. Even if you do know how to live, speak 3 languages, walk, swim, play and instrument and drive a car, you never need to do it at the same time. Therefore explaining the "we only use 20% of our brain" *silmutanously*

    It stems from the days when folks first started mapping brain activity, and found that no more than 10-20% of our brains were active at any one given time. The misconception was that it meant that we only use 10-20% of our brains. Now, decades later, we know that different parts of the brain house different functions, which is why certain parts are active in certain conditions.

But conversely, the dolphins had always believed that they were far more intelligent than man-for precisely the same reasons."

As Lucy saw the impending destruction of mankind through the mutation of the simian flu, during the development of the compound as an Alzheimers drug; she placed the monoliths as seen in 2001: Space Odyssey, guiding humanity from their evolution as primitive man to their final saving grace. The discovery mission in that movie was just another stepping stone for humanity to develop the technologies to get to the wormhole. Dave from that movie ended up in a version of the tesseract.

The movie is worse because by making things a tripping/dream sequence the movie can shield itself by turning any imperfection into an "intentional" perception mistake of the human mind, and not because they made a mediocre movie. Taking into account how nonsensical were her actions considering her abilities, how the movie has a need to throw animal clips to make a point, and how her actions disregard the well-being of innocent people, there's very little room to give the creators the credit that none of the things they made were intentionally that deep.

    This really stupid movie could have been partially fixed by having the triad boss take the same (outlier batch) drug two minutes after Lucy. That way she would always be just slightly ahead of him and it would have had a modicum of tension. Why can't they make a movie about smart drugs that actually makes the characters smarter? Limitless is another example of stupid writing. When he takes the drug the first time he would immediately start working on how to synthesize the drug and not use his newfound genius to get laid. Scarlett being hot is the only redemptive part of this asinine dumpster fire. 😢

    I mean, that’s not exactly the premise, but Lucy’s elevator pitch **is** one based on debunked pseudoscientific nonsense, so we’re basically splitting hairs at that point. But as much as it is nonsense, it does work as a movie premise, setting up her mounting potential as a countdown clock to the climax that we can’t guess at (because the premise is so stupid), and it has a good deal of creative scenes.

    The most annoying thing about this trope is that, we do use 100% of our brain. Of course not every neuron fires at once, if every neuron did, that would be a massive (and probably lethal) epileptic seizure. Just like having every transistor of a CPU activate at once would just be nonsense. It's also quite annoying how some writers seem to think that being super intelligent is basically magic; I can understand how it might seem somewhat magical how someone very smart and skilled in their art can come up with a solution to a problem faster than you can even articulate the problem; but to leap from "seems magical" to it _is_ literal magic is a rather stupid idea.

And since she's so strong and powerful you have no doubt she will have success on her mission. P.S.

They would definitely have high level status and would become some sort of religious figure like Jesus or Buddha. They would have a cult following. Like in Limitless, they'd be rich and have superstar status. They'd be a polyglot (a person who speaks 4 or more languages) so they would be able to travel anywhere. Learning any career (like a lawyer or a doctor) would be a piece of cake to them. They'd be able to learn 10 years worth of training in a handful of weeks.

    Unlocking 20% brainpower to allow the brain the control the whole body makes more sense the deeper you think about it. Likely what he’s talking about here is the conscience mind and what it controls ie. arms, legs, head, etc.. Unlocking 20% brainpower would allow the conscience mind to regulate body temperature, control digestive muscles, and wiggle the ears. This could have significant survival ramifications like the ability to reduce heart rate or control blood flow to detoxify the body.

    The whole mistake with the fundamental idea of these films is that we DO use pretty much 100% of our brains - just not all at once. And before you go looking, yeah it's totally possible to use it all at once. It's called a seizure, and really is best avoided. It's kinda like saying your car would go a lot faster if all the cylinders fired at once. It's just not how it actually works, I'm afraid.

    Lucy was a pain to watch all through in the cinema back in the day. I remember it all felt so illogical, unbelievable development, stupid progression and characters impossible to accept as believable. This was not a movie that helped anyone, but put a dent in their resumes incl. Scarlett Johansson, Morgan Freeman and Luc Besson. How a chemical drug makes you unnatural intelligent and super powered at same time and then becoming a "Godlike being" who leaves out of nothing a working USB that holds everything.... its just major stupid and when the movie wants to be taken serious, its even worse.

    I mean, the plot was based on theoretical book about the human mind. The director didn't just pull it out his ass. Theoriess are not fact they are assumptions. So i didn't go into the movie thinking "this is so factual" and believe it blindly, I was fascinated with the idea that the movie potrayed but still took it with a grain of salt, because its well...a theory.

    I think they measured the amount of energy brain uses for high-order cognition, probably in the cerebrum, which is 1-10% and assumed we use only 10% of our capacity. Particularly, it's probably on the action potential of myelinated neurons in to cortex (I assume). But the brain does that on purpose, (because it's energy expensive) and uses the sponatnous activity in low-frequency fluctuations, etc...

    The Real Loomer replying to SpensaVenture in the comments here - "It's definitely a fun movie. It just doesn't make any sense on any scale." Exactly. It's a "get lost in another world" for two hours movie. There were so many great fantasy scenes in this movie, I felt like the audience was the ones that had taken the drugs. A very entertaining movie done very well by all who made it. The reality is, Lucy would have been dead in a minute after getting all those drugs in her system. But this is a movie. Not reality. Thankfully. I was mad when it ended. I wanted to see more of Scarlett kicking axx.

I thought I was going crazy seeing how most people seemed to truly have liked this movie despite the retardedly stupid concept of "I have extremely high IQ, hence I can control space, matter and time". I mean what the actual fuck. Limitless does a much better job at portraying what having super-intellect would be like, imo. Still borderline superhuman but not this dragon ball bullshit.

    This movie is so stupid in my opinion. How can you be so smart and be so stupid? You can manipulate your cells. That already tells me you can manipulate your cells to save yourself. You know what I think? I think she's still in that cell, high as fuck. She's hallucinating all this and dying of overdose. That's what I think is actually happening. My IQ is below average. And if I can already figure out how to save myself with that power, then she doesn't really have that power. Because if she did, she would had figured out a better solution than I did being smarter than I am. But since she didn't, she's actually just hallucinating all this and dying of overdose. Which is why she can't save herself. Because she really doesn't have powers. She feels herself sloping away, so her mind creates all of this to try and hold on to life but in the end, she ends up dying from the overdoes. That's what I think is happening.

I've owned Apple computers since 1994, and still using some for over 20 years. I still use a 5th gen iPod, and a 3rd gen iPod touch, a 2002 Powerbook, 2006 Mac Pro in which I had to replace the video card. I dropped the iPod touch in water, and it recovered fine. I bought a used 2012 iMac in 2017 which I used everyday until the video card failed after 5 years. I now have a used 2017 iMac that already has 6 years on it.

    When I was younger me and my brother got to iPods for Christmas. They both broke within a month. So you might say I have a personal bias against them, on top of holding back basic necessities to charge extra and having them made in Chinese suicide factories And before you say I should've taken better care of them, this was teenage me with an iPod. Back then iPhones and phones that could use the internet were only just becoming a trend, making the iPod the most expensive/valuable thing I had. I treated it like a saint and it still broke
