Lucy Experience

Lucy. They used Scarlett Johansson well to attract the audience but I am not sure if anyone can really appreciate the movie for its content (albeit ridiculous most of the times but plausible...) and not for Scarlett and Morgan Freeman.

...................................


I have always thought that when you see things differently now, than you did some time ago, be it few days, weeks, months, or years ago, that you have gained a newfound wisdom. I am talking about wisdom but in Lucy it is all about brain capacity, the cerebral capacity to be exact. But in Lucy, as she is depicted to have access to more than 10% capacity, Lucy seems to be nonchalant about trivial things. Things like, auditioning, having pointless fun, and pleasure.She seeks for more, to explore more of the unknown. It's like a thirst that can never be quenched, instead make you feel thirstier. That, I see as wisdom as well. Even though some people may argue that having more wisdom makes someone more modest or even humble, but does being modest make you not wanting to know more?

Maybe yes. Perhaps upon the realisation that you have reached another level of wisdom in life has subtly made you aware that there are tremendous things in life that will never be uncovered by just a person. And since no creature is immortal in this life, it is futile to be after all those knowledge.

There is this idea in Lucy about living things reproducing to pass on the information, knowledge to the next offspring because they can't stay immortal. I would like to go on rambling about information and knowledge but I am afraid I will, as usual, sidetracked. So, let's park that one in Danial's parking lot (meaning K.I.V).

So, being mortals, gonna die anyway, why seek in the unknown? What's the use of all that? Well, in Lucy, Morgan Freeman (LOL) said that you can pass the knowledge to the next generation. That's why all the living things reproduce. Bacteria asexually reproduce and pass on the genetic information that confers their generation to be resistant to the most potent antibiotic to their ancestors, but no longer to them. Humans, copulate, have kids that take after them or their predecessors, and learned the wisdom and knowledge from the older generation. Yeah I know, extreme comparison, bacteria and human. I thought I would just show at a microscopic level, it is the same with us, human. Afterall, we humans are multicellular organisms, originating from one cell; an ovum fertilised by a sperm, forming that one cell, zygote. The beginning of us all, biologically speaking.(Well, in some cases 2 ovums and 2 sperms)

It amazes me to no end really. Lucy has re-awakened this, epiphany (if I may say) that I once had. The beauty of life, so to speak. How at the most cellular level, we have been programmed to be immortal though we are mortals. We die at the end of the day. As an individual, all of the living things die. But I see those as just vessels, the contents live on....
...
 I don't think this is making any sense so I better stop right now. Perhaps it is not time yet to go on another level up.

Reconnect: My Journey Back to Blogging

 Hello, fellow travel enthusiasts and friends of Malaysian adventures! It's been an incredible journey, one that saw me take an unexpected hiatus from blogging for more than three years. Life happened (more like COVID happened) —responsibilities, changes, and personal growth—but one thing remained constant: my love for exploring the beauty and diversity of Malaysia. With power to put Dillan on my back, comes great responsibility! Today, I'm excited to announce my return to the world of  blogging. It's a bit like revisiting an old friend and reminiscing about unforgettable experiences. As I dust off my keyboard and sift through the memories of past travels, I can't wait to reconnect with all of you and share new adventures. Reflecting on the Past During my hiatus, I took the time to recharge, reflect, and embark on new journeys, both physically and emotionally. I've explored different aspects of life, including my passion for raising awareness about autism, delved de

Hang Tuah The Animation?

Woah, woah! Read this at beautifulnara about a three way agreements signed by Japanese anime studio Gonzo (Blood: The Last Vampire), Malaysian animation studio Funcel and Malaysia's National Film Development Corporation to produce Hang Tuah the animation! The protagonists....maybe? The antagonists...look so.. It sounds cool to me at first but I am being a bit skeptic about having non Malaysians to make an anime out of this legendary warriors, Hang Tuah and his friends. What more, I wonder are the voice actors gonna be Japanese too? I remember watching Silat Lagenda. That was awesome for our technology that time. But I think I shouldn't be all negative about Gonzo studio animating Hang Tuah because it's a collaboration....I think? Well, you guys can read more here and here . hehehehe
