Lucy

Rating: 6/10 (20 August 2017)

I browsed the reviews and concluded that my taste in cinematic entertainment is not the norm. Harsh negatively embellished comments really fall short of grasping the escape factor from real life/science.
This is a film I watch a few times a year or when I just want the best exposure to watching a highly talented actress play the role.
Plausibility of what we would be able to do using a greater portion of our brain power brings me to Carlos Castaneda teachings; Yogis; Aborigines; Indigenous Shamans; and the initiated to going beyond the very closed mindedness of Occidental (materialistic culture). Thus the condemnation of the film - is the predicted reflex if Occidental perception to psychologically attach to the predominate negative aspect of expression - civilized behavior.
You connect with the universe (expand your self awareness/collective consciousness) you have to cut the wires (neural cortex limitations to enliven the Limbic System) to your Westernized-dualistic perceptions.
I like that Morgan Freedman plays the scientific catalyst. Added credibility to the Darwin theory. We do exist in a prevailing Darwian economy if you haven't noticed.
The drug smuggling thugs is emblematic of society's ignorance and selfish greed. Lucy becomes the monolithic inspiration for us to evolve in our awareness beyond dependency on technology. We ultimately are the technology.
Technically, the script is tight, stands on all fours- smuggling of the drug in "mules" is very feasible(ask a DEA agent) and the fetus growing hormone does exist. I Googled it.
Remember, we never thought of using computer laptops 50 years ago or an Internet. Nor using DNA evidence to prove criminal activity and trace our birthright heritage.
As Einstein said, "Information isn't knowledge." Knowledge comes from pushing the limits of our minds by daily exercise in breaking through falsehoods-critical thinking - not negation of "what if". We know telepathy is fact. Bifurcation is possible.
This film brings awareness to the fundamental prospect of groundbreaking cures being sought after by pharmaceutical induced target specific genome treatment research.
There is still a lot we don't know or just block out - for instance your eyes don't see a rainbow - it creates it in your mind. That's how light and our Ozone bends sunlight.
Perception of reality is "time" as stated by Lucy. And Einstein even came to this conclusion: that beyond time is eternal love.
All encompassing is our ancestral past, present and future. That is the perception Lucy attains through mind expansion. We are all basically an energy field tuned to specific vibratory frequencies-according to Tesla. Einstein concurs.
Lucy evolves into the collective universal entity that exists in all of us. Higher States of awareness-people with high IQs are exceptionally brilliant intellectuals-with photographic memories; mathematical whizzes, telepathic. Child prodigy's in chess.
I love Lucy for all the reasons I mentioned and ones to be shown to me each time I watch the film; on my cinematic journey to enlightenment.
