Lucy’s head from behind, intending to kill
her

22. He shoots, but in an instant before the bullet
reaches to her, Lucy reaches 100% of her brain

a text massage:

27. With an overhead shot, Lucy’s voice is heard

“Life was given to us a billion years ago. Now
you know what to do with it”.

28. According to Simpson (2004), “one principle that is
common to many models of discourse analysis is the
understanding that all naturally occurring language
takes place in a context of use”. He divides up the idea
of context into three categories: Physical context,
Personal context and Cognitive context. In the next
part different contexts in the movie will be analyzed.

29. The locations of this movie changes through the
actions of Lucy and it starts in Taiwan. Then it goes
to Paris. The most notable physical context of the
story is in Professor Norman’s lab, where the room
loses all its furniture, scientific equipment and
becomes a white empty without even walls room.

30. The personal context of the movie shows one
considerable relationship which is the trust existed
between Lucy and Professor Norman. This trust that
made during the first contact from Lucy with Prof.
Norman makes the audience to trust him too and get
excited to see Lucy reaches to him and passes her
knowledge to Prof. Norman.

31. • The shared cognitive context of the movie is the
old myth of 10% activity of the brain. Besson the
director of the movie said he knew of the 10% myth
and that the film uses it as a metaphor.

32. • In the climax of the movie Lucy transforms into a
supercomputer which is made of a black material. The
drug (CPH4) in the movie was merely a cover for
CARBON/MELANIN; dark matter.
• We can see the ability of Carbon. In the movie we can see
the dark matter (the supercomputer) is composed of all
black matter.
• Lucy starts to be consumed by the dark matter i.e.,
Carbon or Melanin.

33. The falling action of the story is when Lucy leaves
and officer who has been helping her asks “Where
is she?” She responds through his phone:
“I AM EVERYWHERE”
Carbon or Melanin is everywhere, it is in the
universe. It is omnipresent.
