Agreed, but think back to the character Lucy was before ingesting the compound and it’s easy to understand why she was confused and wondering what she should do.
"I dont feel pain, fear, desire..... it's like all the things which make us human are fading away...", a very small but deep powerful statement to make us realise what precious things we have and what we would lose in search of good, better, or best.
She's so humble: "I can control electromagnetic waves. Not all of them, just the most basic...television, telephone, radio..." and then she turns the light off and on, too.

Morgan Freeman and Scarlett Johansson. Two incredibly different actors. But the two of them in one movie, in one scene, is a wonderful experience. I love this movie for many reasons, but that the both of them are in it is definitely one of them.
one of them is a highly attractive, amazing, charismatic person that could recite absolute crap and make you fall in love with it. the other is Scarlet who makes on of two faces.
Scarlett and Morgan Freeman are both great actors! Rest assured that any movie that has even one of them in it is going to be good! Both in one movie at the same time is great!

"I dont feel pain, fear, desire..... it's like all the things which make us human are fading away..." i don't know why, but this makes me feel sad, it must be awful lonely to feel so distant
What I really love here is that Morgan Freeman's character is on the verge of saying to Lucy, "I don't know what you should do". And then he clearly thinks to himself, "This young woman has reached out in desperation to me for an answer. I can't turn her away." And he finds an answer for her.
Yeah, when he was put on the spot, with Lucy's question basically being "how does (my) life have meaning & purpose" he really rose to the moment.. Distilling what others have written huge treatises on, into a single sentence - that was a really good effort!

Anything less would be a waste of potential that would eventually lead to the failure of that creature due to massively wasted resources. and a Darwin Award! 😉 Anyone who thinks otherwise is simply thick & uneducated.
Highly underrated movie. Leave the plot and science as we know it aside. Take it as it is. Also if you're open-minded, it will be more enjoyable. It's a movie, not a documentary. If you're more of a "inspired by true events" type, then watch something else.
Forget "not a documentary," the crap this movie talks about is pure fantasy. Enjoy it all you want, but it's still garbage. Even Star Wars was more rational than this.
Underrated? Hardly, I've never met anyone who didn't like it, or "think" a lot about it. By the way, where is this mysterious "rating system" I see mentioned daily? Wahi' Valleys
I'm a science student and I loved this movie. The soundtracks, the acting, it's all perfect. Yeah sure the science is wrong, but come on, how many action movies ever get the science of anything right?
Emotional in what sense? Morgan Freeman is stuck with a worthless 2-bit actress that *can't* emote and struggles to deliver lines in anything but deadpan. Knowledgeable in what regard? Every "scientific" premise in the movie is complete bullshit. There's no valuable wisdom on display either, in fact, most scenes demonstrate an irritatingly high degree of stupidity. It's a pretty terrible movie... With respect to both its Narrative and Technical detail. Science Fiction is good when you can suspend disbelief in favor of something that's somewhat believable. This movie's ENTIRE backbone is a myth that even 12 year old children know to be ridiculous. And... that's literally ALL it has.
@@adreiiaii510 I'm not saying the movie is a masterpiece or anything, but she literally says her emotions are dying in the scene. Of course she'd sound UNEMOTIONAL.
I need a movie with all of these people with powers in them, that weren't considered as having "powers" Lucy, Powder, Age of Adeline, The One. All of them in one big movie.
Ms. scarlet delivers a complex master class in acting authentic emotional developments as this amazing narrative reveals itself to the audience! This film was for me an astonishing and brilliant speculation about human potentials and our species history!
La película vale la pena solo por la actuación de ella y por la de MF, sobre todo en esta escena, donde se ve el enorme actor que es en tan solo unos minutos de dialogo inteligente, dándole su impronta al personaje del profesor.
I can see what she says is true. The more knowledge you get, the more you outgrow primitive emotions. In fact, emotions are what keeps us from growing to our full potential. We get worried, or scared, or hurt by events or people, and it stops us from doing what we need to do to advance and learn. Greed makes us stay at a lower technological level instead of harnessing everything we can to advance ourselves. If you cannot make money from it, it does not get done, even if it helps everyone on the planet. People have such potential if they would just grow up.
"The more knowledge you get, the more you outgrow primitive emotions." I tend to agree with everything you just said. In addition, I have learned that as I age, now 75, that I care less and less about what other people think of me either socially or intellectually. And since our emotions are simply a cognitive reaction to societal judgment, then it follows that as we age, we become less emotional and more pragmatic. That is assuming that I am typical of most men of my age progression. I feel confident that I am, but that is obviously a flawed self-assessment.
@@jb-xc4oh "Its only a figment of some screen writers imagination" Your observation of the obvious is impressive. However, we are engaging in a few fanciful imaginings here for the sake of conversation. And the screen writer's fertile imagination is what started it all.

The difference between knowledge and wisdom. An important concept today's generations should heed. Access to nearly our entire 'stock' of knowledge at the click of a button, tools now approaching true Artificial Intelligence levels of functionality, but it simply begs the question 'what do I do with this?'
It's funny. She knows eveeeerrrrryyything in the world and has more thinking capacity than anybody living. Still she can't figure out what to do with the knowledge. Funny. 🤣🤣🤣 (Not to mention the very theory behind this movie is wrong)
no it's because she's a shit actor with no emotional acting skills. i think she can sing though. also on closer inspection she's not as hot as she seems. she only got to where she's at because of marvel
“I dont feel pain, fear, desire” that’s what moksha is. The last scene of this movie is a message pops on cell phone from lucy says “I’m everywhere”. Once u get moksha you are everywhere
@@knightriders6614 Noh, I'm saying that the actor that plays the researcher in Lucy mostly plays God, hence why I thought the comment from @czech republic was oddly strange.
This is why I watch and read science fiction. No other genre has the same freedom to present thoughts as this movie or maybe the book Altered Carbon. Wait, wait-there's more.
Lucy says his Theory isn't a theory any more - implying that since its 'True' its no longer a theory. But, a Scientific Theory can't get any better then a 'Theory'. They are based on the 'truths' or facts to which they pertain. At least Dr. Norman correctly refers to his 'theory' as hypotheses and research ideas.
This is correct, just like the Theory of Evolution and Theory of Relativity are not theories at all as in every day parlance, they are scientific facts backed up by multitudes of evidence, that has been peer reviewed and verified, in many cases over 100 or more years. On a side note, this movie continues to perpetuate the myth that we only use 10% of our brains or can only access 10% of our brain's capacity, which is total nonsense.
Strongly disagree with both of you. In the movie, she proved everything she did or say. Thats no longer a theory, it's reality and fact because it exists. And thats your opinion about evolution and the other thing. No one knows what happened millions and billions of years ago. We arent that intelligence.
@@ssj2camaro21 Is gravity also NOT a theory? Like evolution, gravity is also a 'Scientific Theory'. In fact, Evolution 'Theory' has far more 'facts' supporting it then does gravitational Theory!
A theory by definition is a supposition or a system of ideas intended to explain something, especially one based on general principles independent of the thing to be explained. The emphasis being on 'intended' & 'independent'. This means a verifiable phenomenon ceases to be a theory & becomes a fact. If it's still called a theory, then it's not a fact, i.e. Theory of evolution is not facts as there exist other theories to dispute them
@@chikonazzz More from your "theory" page (Merriam-Webster dictionary). The very last line is pertinent to you - as to the difference between "Scientific" and "layman's" theory. It's a sign of ignorance if you don't know this and a sure sign of deception if you choose to ignore it. Two Related, Yet Distinct, Meanings of Theory There are many shades of meaning to the word theory. Most of these are used without difficulty, and we understand, based on the context in which they are found, what the intended meaning is. For instance, when we speak of music theory we understand it to be in reference to the underlying principles of the composition of music, and not in reference to some speculation about those principles. However, there are two senses of theory which are sometimes troublesome. These are the senses which are defined as “a plausible or scientifically acceptable general principle or body of principles offered to explain phenomena” and “an unproven assumption; conjecture.” The second of these is occasionally misapplied in cases where the former is meant, as when a particular scientific theory is derided as "just a theory," implying that it is no more than speculation or conjecture. One may certainly disagree with scientists regarding their theories, but it is an inaccurate interpretation of language to regard their use of the word as implying a tentative hypothesis; the scientific use of theory is quite different than the speculative use of the word.
I mean... Its pure Sci-fi that doesnt seem to understand the real science its supposted to be built upon and expanding. But other than that its really enjoyable and entertaining movie. And maybe a bit underrated.

It's funny. She knows eveeeerrrrryyything in the world and has more thinking capacity than anybody living. Still she can't figure out what to do with the knowledge. Funny. 🤣🤣🤣 (Not to mention the very theory behind this movie is wrong)
ONE OF IF NOT THE BEST SCIENCE FICTION MOVIES AROUND
Scarlett Johansson didn't know she was playing a Real Human Being of the Real Life, hahaha.
The whole Problem of the plot was that at some point she just doesn't feel anymore. That makes it hard to feel with her as a viewer.
no it's because she's a shit actor with no emotional acting skills. i think she can sing though. also on closer inspection she's not as hot as she seems. she only got to where she's at because of marvel
@@eksine You sound bitter bruh. Bitter asf
@@triplemoyagames4195 Yeah, some real emotions came outta that comment lol
@@sp1duh84 You can hear my mortification
@@triplemoyagames4195 I meant the other guy lol
She basically a dollar store Dr Manhattan
A person with infinite intelligence reaching out for wisdom.
she could have found a way for every human being to expand his/her capacity.
Or, all are the same one, and she did?
IMO, Scarlett Johansson's best role...... _"I am everywhere!"_
“I dont feel pain, fear, desire” that’s what moksha is. The last scene of this movie is a message pops on cell phone from lucy says “I’m everywhere”. Once u get moksha you are everywhere
A 100% human had to ask the God.
@czech republic You haven't seen Evan almighty or Bruce almighty?
What are you saying every person contact to god in his good heart
@@knightriders6614 Noh, I'm saying that the actor that plays the researcher in Lucy mostly plays God, hence why I thought the comment from @czech republic was oddly strange.
@@steviebro0538 SOMEBODY STOP ME
I think Jesus reach 100%
This is why I watch and read science fiction. No other genre has the same freedom to present thoughts as this movie or maybe the book Altered Carbon. Wait, wait-there's more.
Filme ótimo, atriz lindíssima, só faltou uma coisa legenda ou dublagem em português
Greetings! You can select closed captioning in various languages through TH-cam settings.Ciao!
great Movie, I love it and watched it several times.
If she were my Grand daughter I’d be asking her to fix my tech stuff every damn Day! 😂😅🤣🤷🏻♂️
Woman using 100% of her brain : learning how to use the remote control.
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 brace urself for Feminists attacks
its like IRS called me texes i forgot to pay
Like someone once said, there is no greater honour than being roundhouse kicked by Chuck Norris while Morgan Freeman is narrating it.
I experienced this very same thing until my drug dealer got arrested now I'm just a dumbass😭
Then she puts all that knowledge on a USB stick and gives it to a Mac user
"Anyone got an adapter?"
Man, bits and pieces, that movie Lucy is so deep
So she basically became Dr. Manhattan.
Lucy says his Theory isn't a theory any more - implying that since its 'True' its no longer a theory.
But, a Scientific Theory can't get any better then a 'Theory'. They are based on the 'truths' or facts to which they pertain.
At least Dr. Norman correctly refers to his 'theory' as hypotheses and research ideas.
This is correct, just like the Theory of Evolution and Theory of Relativity are not theories at all as in every day parlance, they are scientific facts backed up by multitudes of evidence, that has been peer reviewed and verified, in many cases over 100 or more years. On a side note, this movie continues to perpetuate the myth that we only use 10% of our brains or can only access 10% of our brain's capacity, which is total nonsense.
Strongly disagree with both of you.
In the movie, she proved everything she did or say. Thats no longer a theory, it's reality and fact because it exists.
And thats your opinion about evolution and the other thing. No one knows what happened millions and billions of years ago. We arent that intelligence.
@@ssj2camaro21 Is gravity also NOT a theory?
Like evolution, gravity is also a 'Scientific Theory'.
In fact, Evolution 'Theory' has far more 'facts' supporting it then does gravitational Theory!
A theory by definition is a supposition or a system of ideas intended to explain something, especially one based on general principles independent of the thing to be explained.
The emphasis being on 'intended' & 'independent'.
This means a verifiable phenomenon ceases to be a theory & becomes a fact.
If it's still called a theory, then it's not a fact, i.e. Theory of evolution is not facts as there exist other theories to dispute them
@@chikonazzz More from your "theory" page (Merriam-Webster dictionary). The very last line is pertinent to you - as to the difference between "Scientific" and "layman's" theory. It's a sign of ignorance if you don't know this and a sure sign of deception if you choose to ignore it.
Two Related, Yet Distinct, Meanings of Theory
There are many shades of meaning to the word theory. Most of these are used without difficulty, and we understand, based on the context in which they are found, what the intended meaning is. For instance, when we speak of music theory we understand it to be in reference to the underlying principles of the composition of music, and not in reference to some speculation about those principles.
However, there are two senses of theory which are sometimes troublesome. These are the senses which are defined as “a plausible or scientifically acceptable general principle or body of principles offered to explain phenomena” and “an unproven assumption; conjecture.” The second of these is occasionally misapplied in cases where the former is meant, as when a particular scientific theory is derided as "just a theory," implying that it is no more than speculation or conjecture. One may certainly disagree with scientists regarding their theories, but it is an inaccurate interpretation of language to regard their use of the word as implying a tentative hypothesis; the scientific use of theory is quite different than the speculative use of the word.
this movie is outstanding
Interesting premise for a movie, I guess, but the thing about only using a tiny percentage of our brains is an urban myth.
That's sad, actually. It means I'm as bright as I'm gonna get.
So glad we weren't alone. )
Criminally UNDERRATED! CRIMINALLY 😤
I mean... Its pure Sci-fi that doesnt seem to understand the real science its supposted to be built upon and expanding. But other than that its really enjoyable and entertaining movie. And maybe a bit underrated.
They are both great actors !
