I watched Limitless yesterday. It was... classy, fresh, thrilling, full of psychological twists and turns, and gave me a dose of humanity 101. The whole story is surrounding this pill. This pill allows us to access ALL of our brains rather than just 20%. When a man not doing well in life takes it, he becomes... well limitless. After watching the movie I wanted one of those. I couldn't even begin to imagine how different my life would be. Even with all the monstrous things that happened to him...
So I began to think all what it was the pill did to him that made him successful, and the main thing he did was... remember. In almost every scene he used a memory of something he had previously done. For example when he is downtown he got into a fight, but remembered watching a jackie Chan movie when he was little. He was easily able to fight them off. So this movie made me realize that success is closely linked with memory. Just a thought.
