I completely agree that Lucy is an unforgettable film, and your reflection on it brings back so many memories of how unique it was. I also found myself fascinated by the concept of unlocking the full potential of the brain, even though we now know that humans use much more than just 10%. Scarlett Johansson’s portrayal of Lucy was absolutely captivating—she brought such intensity and depth to the character as she rapidly transformed into something beyond human.
The film’s boldness in exploring heightened human abilities, combined with its sleek cinematography and mind-bending visuals, really set it apart for me too. I think Morgan Freeman was the perfect choice for the role of the scientist, bringing his usual gravitas and wisdom to explain the science (or sci-fi) behind Lucy’s transformation.
Yes, I can see how some might find parts of the movie exaggerated or even aimless as Lucy's abilities grew beyond comprehension, but I feel like that’s part of what made it so entertaining—it pushed boundaries and gave us something to think about. It’s not just another action film; it’s an exploration of what might happen if we went far beyond the limits of human potential.
It’s a movie that left an impact, and now that you've reminded me of it, I might rewatch it too! It’s visually stunning and thought-provoking, even with its fantastical leaps. Thanks for the trip down memory lane!
Glad it could evoke such poignant thoughts and memories. You clearly understand the whole point of the movie which is a possibility that is just outside our reach, even though it directly affects us. I hope you feel all the beautiful emotions you felt when you watched it for the first time!
