Limitless

Any aspiring writer -- or artist, or filmmaker -- knows what it's like to sit there at the computer and stare at a blank page. Self doubt fueled by rejection after rejection, failed and half-finished projects, credit card bills that have piled up, a girlfriend who wants you to get a real job… Eventually, the question cannot be ignored: Do I really have what it takes to do this?

That's the dilemma that limitless Eddie Morra (Bradley Cooper) is facing. He's a down-on-his luck author, or would-be author, whose life seems to be passing him by. Squirreled away on the outskirts of Manhattan -- well, the Lower East Side anyway -- he's one of those guys we've all encountered before. Youth and ambition have slowly morphed into desperation and desolation. And then he discovers NZT.

It's a drug that allows the user to expand his or her mind, to use 100% of their brain power as opposed to the mere 10% or 20% or whatever that is typically accessed by a human being. When Eddie drops his first hit of NZT, he is immediately transformed, as is director Neil Burger's depiction of Eddie's world. From the humdrum, washed-out and grungy palette of Lesser Eddie is born a new bright and vibrant and intense visual world for Better Eddie. Suddenly able to access every bit of information he's ever seen or heard or smelled, memories he doesn't even know he has, books he glimpsed years earlier, and so on, the NZT-ified Eddie becomes, in essence, the smartest man in the world. The film sets up some very interesting questions but it doesn't answer too many of them as it becomes more of a standard thriller in its final act, as Eddie is accused of murder (which he may or may not have committed even he isn't sure), is pursued by a Russian mobster who has also developed a taste for NZT, and must work out the fine details of a big corporate merger for Van Loon. Oh, and NZT turns out to be highly dangerous: If you stop taking it, you die, basically.
In this film i love all the small cuts ( jump cuts) which creates the effect of the drug working . It is filled with action and not stop entertainment. i researched this film for one perscfic camera shot which is the building shot and how it glides up towards the top of it , i will use this in the short film i create .
