Luc Besson has made an excellent thriller which discusses the immense power of the human brain.

Rating: 10/10 (7 June 2015)

Philosophy is not for everybody as neither all people are capable of doing philosophy nor are they interested in discussing it. For this reason a complete film about philosophy would not attract large crowds in recent times. French director Luc Besson's latest film 'Lucy' has emerged as a different film as it mixes philosophy especially philosophy of mind with eclectic elements of a fast paced thriller. His film tackles the essential question of human brain especially its optimum usage. One learns many new pieces of valuable information about the brain. For example-dolphins are the only animals who use their brain more than human beings. This film pays equal attention to philosophy and actions scenes that no group of viewers feels the need to ignore any other element. 'Lucy' wastes no time to describe how criminal minds would go to any extent in order to achieve their aims. The highlight of this film is the phenomenal transformation of an ordinary girl into a colossal, brainy intellectual giant who uses her brain to the highest attainable level of 100%. Lastly nobody has to be a double of VS Ramachandran to appreciate this film but a lot of questions related to the human brain especially the manner in which it is used have not been answered. This might be the main defect an astute viewer can find with this film.
