The 2014 Lucy Science Science Actor Lucy was a bigger hit than you remember. Modestly budgeted with just $ 40 million (many of which probably went to Starvala's Scarlett Johansson's salary) and armed with an incredibly funny plot, Lucy made over $ 450 million in the international treasurer, confusing almost all. Critics were only warm to Lucy, giving him a great deal of indifferent and/or vaguely positive reviews. The film has a 67% critic rating Rotten tomatoes (Based on 236 views), with the words "silly" and "funny" they are very used to describe them.

As for this writing, Lucy is becoming a hit on Netflix again, with /Flixpatrol Reporting that the Film has ranked among the Service's Top 10 Movies in the US Since (at LEAST) APRIL 15, 2025, ON 11-YEAR-COLD SCI-Fi Thriller Chas Suddenly Grabbed Theear Attention of so many Netflix Subscribers, but weigh be able to theorize that the Movie's Combination of Amusing Sci-Fi Ideas, Slick Action, and a Dazzling Hollywood Film Star Will Always Find An Audience. Besson himself became a personal non -film in the film community over several charges of sexual behavior (paired with the fact that he began to hang out with his second wife when he was 15 years old and he was 32 years old). Charges against Besson have been dropped Due to lack of evidence, but he had no hit for some time. His career did not help the fact that his movie for 2017 "Valerian and the city of a thousand planets" bombarded pretty hardor.

Regardless, Netflix subscribers are distracted by the glitter of Lucy, happy to see Johansson playing a woman enhanced with superpower drugs that Allow allow to hit the ass with Matka. I never mind the end of the film, as critics pointed out, the ultimate nonsense.

Lucy is based on a myth for the human brain that remains frustratingly persistent to this day. You may have heard that human beings only use 10% of their brains, leading to the assumption that the other 90% only needs to be "activated" to unlock our true mental potential. In reality, we use all our brains during our lives and there is no 90% to "unlock". We are pretty smart as it is, provided we learn new things. Lucy is one of those scientific films that gives its main characters superpowers only explaining that they finally use 100% of their brains. It seems that when we use our whole brains, we can do wild things like our consciousness project back in time and body to develop into a computer terminal (!).

The story of "Lucy" feels like Besson just to make her in the fly. Johansson is played by Lucy, an American traveling to Taiwan, who has asked her boyfriend to deliver a mysterious suitcase. Lucy accidentally reveals that the suitcase contains a eerie new narcotic called CPPH4, and the gang of drug dealers forces her to act as a drug mule, inserting her body and Ordering orders to travel to Korea. On the way, the rupture of the bags of drugs inside Lucy, giving HER as a massive dose. The drug imitates it with superpowers, including the possibility of reading minds and performing acts of telekinesis. It initially fights drug dealers and helps some international police officers confiscate more drugs, but eventually begins to cross some eerie mental line. As she does, Lucy really comes to see the nature of reality, which inspires her to deliberately take more CPH4.

Then things get really weird. I will not discover the end, but I implied some of the bizarre things that happen above.

There may be a strange myth to strengthen somewhere in Lucy. After all, it is a victim of a woman who turns the tables of her kidnappers. The wicked kidnappers who would force the woman to be a drug mule could not predict that the drugs they want to sell will turn her into an instrument of justice. But at the same time, Lucy also seems to mean taking medication is a really good idea. Remember, children, if the wicked criminals offer you an experimental chemical, it will give you superpowers.

Lucy came in time in Johansson's career when he seemed to rethink his place at the pop culture branch. She had Already appeared in several Marvel Studios films By 2014, she became an expert on playing "reinforced" non-human roles (superheroes included). Either it or she was thrown into projects based on how attractive she is, having her play "Beautiful" in films like "Don Jonon" and "He's just not in you." The quality of her performances varies, but films like "Lucy" tend to emphasize how much Johansson was commodated as an inhumane goddess.

Strange, Lucy was released just months after Johansson starred Scientific film of the amonate glazer "Under the Skin". In that film, Johnonson plays a space alien who took the skin of a human woman and uses that man's appeal for sexually versed men in a bizarre alien, where they are consumed and used as fuel. The alient became sharply aware that he looked like Scarlett Johansson and thinking about why people are responding to a body that looks so. Johansson deconstructed her own image with the film, confronting the way her body is so often commodated.

Maybe Lucy, despite how silly is, is another attempt by the actor to force the audience to examine his habits to object. It is no longer a body. It is the biggest mind in the world.
