I can't think of any big brother surveillance in Lucy. 1984 was all about controlling the population, Lucy is about expanding the individual, so I suppose Winston Smith wanted to learn the truth about the world as Lucy does.

Dont you, or anyone else, notice the clear connection between Lucy and 1984? Am i the only one?

I am very much tempted to see if I can find an illegal download of These Final Hours.

I've never been a big Luc Beeson fan. I didnt like the Fifth Element. Only some of the production design.
Actually I did like Leon, and The Big Blue. Other than that…

I'll wait until the dvd.

It's a shame you didn't get to see These Final Hours. I think you will enjoy watching and reviewing. Hopefully you will in time.

cheers

ps I'm still not a robot, not for lack of wishing for it.

Nothing hard about it at all. Definitely not your type of movie. If you take away the 10% thing, which I thought was just a myth too, it is interesting to contemplate what might happen as the human brain evolves – perhaps we will just become stupidier which seems to be the case at the moment. (I remember watching a film a while back where as we evolved our use of technology did make us more stupid until everything broke down). But with the help of technology some of the magic in Lucy might become possible. For instance, a computer chip connected to the brain which directs a nanoswarm to rearrange matter.

For a start, the premise – that we only use 10% of our brains – is patent nonsense that was discredited decades ago. For another thing psychic powers don't exist – also proven beyond any doubt decades ago. So why is this bozo writing films based on this nonsense? If he wanted a film about magic, he should have called it magic, not sci-fi. This kind of thing really gets up my nose. Are people really so ignorant of how far science has moved on from all this in the past 50 years that they'll take this stuff seriously?
