"Who Am I ?" (well, at least not) "Lucy"

(Crosspost of this LiveJournal entry)
It's late, I'm kinda bouncy and with good spirits. Before I decide - once more - "yeah.. I'll write that tomorrow" I do that now. There's already a lot of stuff I made notes about on my list... again. Lot of projects and social issues. Time consuming ones.
Anyway! I happened to watch two awesome flicks lately. No spoilers ahead, so you can read on without being worried.
"Who I Am?"
After watching some teasers I was pretty sure it would be another (more modern) Version of the 1995-Version of "hackers. Therefore I made the decision to not spend huge amounts of money on a cinema trip but rather see it when given the chance. Eventually I was watching it along with my GF when visiting her some weeks ago. We both were left stunned. It started, like hackers, with a rather serious intro that soon turned into silly tech stuff. No need to mention that you, if you happen to have some knowlede about electronics, communication hardware or inftrastructure, going to facepalm a lot. Or, like we did, enjoy the show and laugh a lot. The fact that the movie was filmed in Berlin helps a lot to get - at least for a citizen of Berlin - even more fun out of the movie. But soon after the fun part is over the flick gets pretty serious. It's the classy story: nerd gets friends and soon they're up to no good. While doing more and more stuff they soon cross a certain line and the consequences make them regret it for a lot of trouble is ahead. It get never boring and there is always something going on that keeps the mind busy. Like said, I'm not going to spoil anything. But the end is quite the brainfuck. :)
The trailers for this flick paint a completely wrong picture of it. Out of 10 Points this flick get a straight 8! Go, watch it!
"Lucy"
Frankly, the first thing that came to my mind while watching a trailer on the tellie was "oh, another Kill Bill like flick with some lady going all postal. Big carnage ahead." In fact, there's some carnage going on. But it's okay. The short version is: a young woman happens to get drugs in her bloodstream that makes her use more and more of her brain until she's all up to all 100%. She starts to develop a lot of funny and awesome skills. The movie is quite a popcorn flick for it runs quite linear. Better not to expect big story twists. What makes the flick interesting is wondering what her next skill will be and how she's gonna use it. Next to a lot of funny scenes it also gets more and more philosophicalas it approaches the end.
Out of 10 this one gets a 4,5.
