Limitless
This movie came out on DVD some time ago and I was never really interested in watching it, until a friend suggested it...
The movie is about this guy Eddie, who is a loser, not going anywhere in life, just going through the motions of everyday, until he is presented with a pill, that supposedly expands the full capacity of his brain, in other words, makes him really intelligent. I know, I know, sounds strange... But that's what happens, he becomes really smart and his life completely changes after that.
Fiction aside, what I really liked about this movie is the idea of how much a person can do and achieve in life when he just THINKS! The problem with many of us is not that we are not smart enough, is just that we are too lazy to think sometimes.
There's something the guy said in the movie that really stuck to me. As he was explaining the effects of the pill, he said 'my shyness, my fears are now gone'. Because he started thinking more, those things could not hold him anymore. How true is that?
If you THINK about it, shyness, doubts and fear are things of the heart and not of the mind. When you follow your reason and not your emotions, you can overcome those things; you can see that they just don't make sense and will never get you anywhere.
We should start thinking more and feeling less. That way we will achieve much more in life, much quicker.
All in all, a very nice movie. It certainly made me want to THINK more...
