I still don't know what to make of this flick really, It's got me in a bit of turmoil. Kinda like the hours after I saw 7. A sense of unease, maybe a bit of overwhelm throw in. But I know I just saw a really important film.
And you know, I guess that's the kind of reaction really great art can create in us emotionally. Ultimately, while the movie has some real holes, it tackles one of the great questions. It's about what we don't know, that we don't know, that we don't know.
I mean.
What would it be like for someone to become a god. To transcend. To become, everything.
To exist in an unexplained and vastly expanded and vastly different reality. To control matter, energy, and time with your mind/spirit. To go so far beyond human experience, that it's almost incomprehensible. That's what this movie was about for me. What Besson
The stuff with Morgan Freeman and the mob dudes was almost like window dressing for the real story, the story of Lucy's big, scary, and at the end beautiful dare I say, sublimation. It's all about Lucy, what's happening to her, and what she's going to do with it. Where is she going to take it. WHAT WILL SHE DO?
I believe it's a common enough theme in really creative Science Fiction writing - I have come across it before. But not like this. Not in a visually stunning movie, not with Scar-Jo stretching herself so far, taking on such an extremely, incredibly challenging role.
I guess I still don't really understand this film, but I will see it again soon, and possibly discover more.
