2. Compare and Contrast
Since the late1960s, real sci‐fi film has turned out to be progressively well known. It have
succeeded in pulling in huge gathering of people shares, and movies of this kind have turned
into a general staple of the film business. Sci‐fi movies have driven the path in
embellishments innovation, and have additionally been utilized as a vehicle social discourse.
Sci‐fi can put mankind in circumstances it can't or has not experienced. One of the
motivation behind why individuals adoration to watch sci‐fi film is it grapple with human
condition. The two sci‐fi film I am contrasting in the paper are "LUCY" and 'LIMITNESS'.
These two motion pictures are certainly with a same classification of film and both are
transhumanism motion pictures. Transhumanism is about people coming to another level of
improvement through man‐made innovation and apply autonomy.
Above all else, the likenesses of these two films are having the same thought. The
thought that normal human just utilize 10 for each penny of their cerebrum limit. It's a
standout amongst the most prevalent misguided judgments in science. In the motion
picture of 'Lucy', it said in the film that the thought behind the medication named CPH4
empowers Scarlett Johansson's character as Lucy to utilize more than 10% of her mind and
that records for her exceptional capacities while in 2011 thriller Limitness, Bradley Cooper's
character Eddie Morra takes a pill that empowers him to get to 100 percent of his cerebrum
capacities, and the battling essayist turn into a budgetary wizard.
Next, both principle characters utilize a medication to open this capacities in both
motion pictures. In 'Lucy', the medications that spilled into Lucy's framework opened the
other 90 for every penny while in 'Limitness', Eddie Morra takes another mind upgrading
medication and is all of a sudden ready to get to each memory, each word he's ever perused
and probably see "50 stages in front of others." Other than that, they both are chased
around street pharmacists. In 'Lucy', Lucy finds that the portfolio contains the manufactured
medication CPH4 and she is compelled to work to Mr. Jang as medication donkey for
another and intense engineered drug. In 'Limitness', Eddie being chased around Russian
mobsters and a steady figure why should unfavorable murdering honest by standers in his
mission to get to Eddie's supernatural occurrence drugs.
Besides, these two motion pictures shared a comparative topics. Lucy and Limitness
both motion pictures own topics identified with transhumanism and advancement. In 'Lucy',
as she gets roughed up by the mobsters, Lucy wears a catlike print vest which lets us know
that Lucy is a general, carnal human who has yet to achieve a more elevated amount of
development. Lucy starts to advance after some sort of medication blasts within her.while
in Limitness, Eddie regardless of developing to be as slanted as his foes seem to be, still puts
on a show of being a great deal more thoughtful.
Beside similitudes, while these two motion pictures are comparative plot‐wise, the
settings and characters are altogether different. Firstly, Lucy was set in Taipei 101 while
Litmitness was set in United States. Likewise, Lucy looks powerless yet she is one of the
most grounded characters she could summon every last bit of her divine spirits immediately
when opening no one but two could murder a few wizards, her enchantment is fantastically
uncommon and not at all like other people she was kept in a domain .Lucy has a more

3. women's activist, scholarly energy (Scarlett Johansson taking control of and owning each
circumstance she's put in without a man or anybody's offer, and Morgan Freeman some
assistance with playing a neuroscientist), while Cooper's Limitness is more scene and
perhaps less demanding to take after. His trademark smoothness has been scraped by an
unwashed look worn with a scraggy pig tail. His blue eyes are rimmed with pink. He
additionally resembles a destitute fellow and a trying author or a urgent blend of the two.
To wrap things up, the sci‐fi film is perfectly healthy in Hollywood yet let's face
honest, it's kept alive by continuations and comic book adjustments. While new sci‐fi
thoughts flourish in print, they're a remarkable thing in the film business. Sci‐fi motion
pictures permit individuals to open up their creative abilities to a wide range of conceivable
outcomes. Eddie Morra (of Limitness) and Lucy's lines are particularly comparative, and this
is no happenstance. Both movies set up their establishments on a fascinating logical myth,
and the thought that people are not completely acknowledged can be a superbly dynamic
point, giving creators and producers a ton of space to produce a large number of one of
their very own kind speculations. Both film likewise got high gathering of people
evaluations.
