Jackie Lentz: Blog #8 Limitless

I truly believed he made that drug into its perfect potential item. Basically, it was a drug that could make you the best you could be, one problem it's more than addictive you'll die without it. He found away around that, as I would have, which was to have someone make you an endless supply. By the end though he discovered something even better, that I would never have thought of, which was to discover a way to not be dependent on the drug at all. We discussed afterward that some people felt he wasn't really clean, but I think he was, merely because then he would have literally made himself a god and that is epic and I think that movie was intended to be epic. I did consider later though one slight difference. I would make it so that no one else had this drug. I am painfully average because so many people do the same things that I do and do them just as well. So I know with my luck I'd get to be this super smart person and then everyone would get their hands on it and then I'm just one of the herd again. I never understood how he could tell the future, at the end of the film for example. Is it because he'd see a car's velocity and know that whatever it was heading the potential for a crazy could occur and its not that he can tell the future but that he can see all the possibilities in the world. Where would religion fall for a guy like him? I know in the show Firefly and the movie Serenity, the character River finds all these fallacies in the Bible and points them out to another character Shepherd, so would he only be able to see the gaping holes in theology or could he perhaps gives us the definite answer on religion?
