If you haven't seen this movie here's a quick synopsis...(yes I will use the real names)...
Bradley Cooper meets his ex-brother-in-law randomly on the street when he offers him a pill that allows him to feel invinceable. Since he was an aspiring writer with a major writer's block wasting away his life, he felt he had nothing to lose, so he took the pill which in 30 seconds gave him the ability to conquer anything and everything. To make a long story short, he became increasingly dependent on the drug without knowing it's complications or side effects which happened to be a crashing, dizzyness, even potential death.
Of course with the ability to embrace every bit of knowledge that we encounter or to even recall anything we've ever learned in life comes trouble because it catches up with us. But what I took out of this was the dependence he had for the drug. Sure he couldn't get all that wealth of knowledge by his own since the average person technically only uses 20% of their brain. Why do people often thirst for something that makes them feel powerful only for a limited number of time? Of course with the dependence we feel for something that makes us feel good, we want more and more of it, therefore forgetting the consequences of what it can actually do to our bodies.
If that "limitless" drug even does exist or whatever, amongst all the other drugs out there, why do people become so dependent on it? Just for that instant gratification? Okay I can see how that's plausible, but what comes afterwards? Blackouts, bingeing, forgetfulness, throwing up, feeling like crap, losing parts of our brain, nasty teeth, excessive weightloss/gain, etc. Tell me something good it does as an aftereffect please!
Which brings me to my next point...Bradley Cooper became so dependent on this drug that he didn't believe in himself to study notes in time for an important presentation. I know he may have self-coerced himself into learning all the financial "lingo", but I feel he didn't even know. No one who took that drug did! Once we become dependent on a drug, we feel the need to use it to function daily when in reality it's killing us inside, literally! Haven't you heard that once you take ecstasy, you can never be genuinely happy again?! Oh and what about those brain scans which shows holes in the brain when you take ecstasy too frequently?! I'd rather suffer by natural causes than use something that can help kill me, thank you very much...
BTW BRADLEY COOPER IS A FOX!!!
