Lucy - Movie Reaction (Science and Technology)
Lucy
is a 2014 French – American high – concept science fiction action film that is
written and directed by Luc Besson and was produced by his wife Virginie Besson
– Silla. This film is all about a woman who suddenly forced to work as a drug
mule that eventually develops an extraordinary mental and paranormal abilities
after a packet of newly developed synthetic drug called CPH4 was inserted and
breaks inside her body. This film portrays how technological advancement can
bring a positive and negative impact in our lives.
Because
of science and technology, people can make a drug that can be useful or can
bring destructive effect to the people. In this movie, the creation of the CPH4
did not bring good effects because when this drug was inhaled, the person
become high, crazy, and didn’t give a care on how dangerous his surrounding
is. Lucy was being inserted of this drug
to her abdomen and eventually breaks inside of her body since she was beaten up
by one of the thugs that is caging her. As a result, she was able to access
more and more of her cerebral capacity, in which for me is very scary because
she was able to gain superhuman abilities that a real human being cannot have
like speed reading, photographic memory, encyclopedic knowledge, learning a
foreign language in an hour, and psychic abilities like telekinesis. This type
of happenings can be destructive because there will come to a point where she
will cannot control what she is doing and just simply going in and out of her head
that sometimes can make her crazy especially if it’s her first time
encountering this kind of abilities. It is also dangerous on the part of the
person who is encountering her because you don’t know the capacity of her
ability. You might feel that you are not safe because she is capable enough to
hurt you and because they are already a product of science and technology, it
is almost impossible to hurt them back since they are already immune or used
with the pain.
On the
other hand, science and technology is helpful because it helps us to search,
communicate, and travel on a hassle free. In this movie, it showed that you can
search the things that you want to find and you will instantly get the details
of the things that you are looking for. Just like when Lucy uses her friend’s
computer, she was able to find right away an information about Samuel Norman, a
scientist that could help her save from her problem. With the science and
technology, she was able to contact him through different kind of devices like
telephone, cellphone, television, radio, laptop, and others. Also she was able
to phone Pierre Del Rio, a local police captain that helped her to find and
capture the remaining three people who received drugs to their abdomen. And
also, because of the advancement, it is possible now to go to a far places because
of the development of airplanes.
Science
and technology is still advancing because many researchers and scientist want
to test the extent of these two. You can experience its positivity or
negativity base on the way how you handle it. It is actually on the lies on the
people hands on how it will bring an impact to their lives. But many people are
hoping that science and technology will be use on a good purpose so that
problems will not arise that could eventually lead to problems that can be
experienced by the whole world.
