Value judgment

Rating: 5/10 (16 October 2013)

When I watched this movie I couldn't disagree more with what it seems the writers think it means to be, let alone very, but extraordinarily intelligent.
Eddie Morra is a frustrated writer, then he gets a pill that makes him super intelligent, so he can write a number of novels that immediately go award winning and are compared to the greatest works of literature.
Then, out of the blue, Mr Morra decides that he doesn't want to be a writer anymore, so he becomes a high risk investor. As you have probably read in other reviews -or if you have watched the movie-, Mr Morra gets in trouble with the Mafia and so on, but that's not my point.
My point is that according to the movie a super intelligent person is that that becomes a businessman, not a philosopher, not a scientific, etc. Get the Idea? Is this movie trying to tell us that intelligent people are that which own half of the world and do so because they became rich in a 'clever' but dishonest way? To me Mr Morra was far more intelligent before he took the pill and was just a writer -before he became just another business man who doesn't make the world a better place but the other way around.
