Film analysis – MAGALY GENDREAU FAVREAU
- Title of film: limitless
- Identify the genre of the movie: action and adventure / science fiction
- Briefly describe the scene with which the film opens:
It starts with the end of the story, which is a catastrophic situation. Everything went wrong, guys are knocking at the principal actor’s door, his neighbor has been shot, people at the front desk are dead and the main actor is on top of his building ready to jump on the side walk. He is questioning his self about how a such intelligent man like him could have gotten in this situation.
- Describe the events of the most critical moment of the film: the principal actor, which is a writer with lack of inspiration for his book, met his ex-step brother in the street. They went for a drink in a bar and he offered him a pill that would give him access to 100% of his brain memory. This pill would help him to have ideas for his books.
- List five idioms or unusual expressions from the film and identify their contextual meaning:
- “And now the only thing I’d have an impact on was the sidewalk” he is about to jump from his building to commit suicide.
- “I had clearly missed the on-ramp” his girlfriend broke up with him and he realises he screw up everything.
- “He walked out on her…” to explain that his ex-wife is separate from her husband.
- “The boys in the kitchen…” this expression refers to the unknown, untested, possibly dangerous drug scammed out of some unidentified lab.
- “Moments you know you crossed the bridge” it means his life won’t be the same anymore.
- Would you recommend this movie to a friend? Why or why not.
I recommend this movie to a friend, it is well done, there are many good actors. The suspense is good and it makes you realise nothing is perfect in life. Even if you are the most intelligent man, that you succeed in all the aspects of your life, you can get to a point where you want to commit suicide. You also understand that all exaggerations don’t bring happiness.
