'Limitless': Greed is Infinite

Capitalism is a battleground where ambition, greed, intelligence and speed is the key. Capitalist countries like the United States have a dream, American dream, as embodied in the pursuit of wealth, luxury, reputation and glory. Film 'Limitless' is an important metaphor for the American capitalist dream.

Raised from the novel by Alan Glynn, entitled 'The Dark Fields', the film produced and starring Bradley Cooper. He serves as Eddie Morra, a writer-turned-investment broker and then senator. Eddie lives in New York, experienced writer's block, broke up with her boyfriend, and unhappy. He met former brother-in-law, Vernon is offering a magic pill that can make it far more intelligent than average.
Drug experimentation results named NZT it has tremendous power. With a pill that people will be able to use 100% brain capacity (compared to an average of only 20%). Not unexpectedly, when she began experiencing addiction, he found Vernon killed.Eddie took his money and pills NZT left behind Vernon.
With the pill, intelligence, focus and his confidence soared. He could finish his book quickly. He also turned into an investment and stock brokerage. Quickly, his reputation destabilize the financial world of New York. A wealthy tycoon, Carl Van Loon (played by veteran actor Robert de Niro) interested in him. He also uses Eddie as an intermediary in a multi-million dollar merger.
Life seems pretty perfect for Eddie Morra. But the problem did not finish. Eddie often chased someone unknown. Gennady, a thug Eastern Europe, where he borrowed an initial capital of his business, constantly collecting money and pills NZT ever accidentally swallowed it. The crisis was haunted because NZT really made him forget for what he had done.
A murder occurs. NZT pill is no more. All the wealth and reputation in danger. And this thriller drama was closed with an end that is not surprising: after all, capitalism will win.
Hollywood films like 'Limitless' is indeed easy to read as a representation of what is happening in today's global financial world. The greed of business people and rotten politicians appear as a natural thing.
Special, the film is trying to communicate with a variety of visual effects and cinematography that is fun and fairly sophisticated.Devices such as telescopic zoom lens, fish (fish eye lens), the visual effect of the words that fell or even computer-generated imagery (CGI) is used optimally.
Bradley Cooper is able to be (like the other roles) handsome figure who sometimes depressing, annoying once loved. Although in some parts of plot seem odd and unreasonable (the appearance of a stranger, crime that does not contribute significantly to the overall story) and some other things through without explanation, thriller with a touch of science fiction is quite interesting and fun.Quite the entertainment.
