What could happen if the power of the mind was realized?
Lucy was a very original and thought provoking movie when it came out. The theme was about evolution, the power of the mind, and knowledge.<br /><br />It features Lucy (Scarlett Johansson) as a young woman in Taiwan who has her boyfriend killed by a Korean gangster named Mr. Jang (Choi Min-sik). Jang turns Lucy into a drug mule to bring a brand new product to the U.S. except it ends up going into her blood stream and transforms her. Morgan Freeman is Professor Samuel Norman who has studied the brain and how only a little bit of it is used by people. If they were to tap into the rest who knows what could happen. That’s what’s happening to Lucy.<br /><br />Director Luc Besson uses some great imagery to push the story along. At the start for example, Lucy’s boyfriend Richard (Pilou Asbaek) is trying to get her to deliver a case to Mr. Jang which he obviously doesn't want to do because he’s afraid. While they talk there’s a flash of a mouse sniffing a piece of cheese on a mouse trap symbolizing that Richard is leading Lucy into danger. Then as she enters Mr. Jang’s hotel there are pictures of African caribou being chased down and killed by cheetahs, which is what’s going to happy to Lucy when she meets the gangster she is going to be hunted and trapped.<br /><br />There are also great action scenes throughout and subtle humor. Mr. Jang for example tells Lucy she has to open the case Richard gave her. Beforehand Jang hides behind a corner and his guards all come out with riot shields to protect themselves. Lucy asks what’s in the case and she’s told there’s nothing dangerous in it it’s just that Jang doesn't trust Richard. At another time, Lucy lands in Paris and is being tracked down by Jang’s gangsters and takes a group of them out with the power of her mind throwing them left and right, up and down.<br /><br />The real message of the movie was about knowledge. If people were able to use more parts of their brain what could they do? What could they accomplish? If they could use all of it would they stop being human eventually and become pure thought? The importance of Lucy’s transformation is shown in the opening when they show Lucy who is believed to be the origins of the human race and the first woman. This was how the human race began and how it has evolved over time. Lucy is the next step in that evolution.<br /><br />It’s the mix of all these elements that made Lucy a must see film when it was released.<br />C
