Outline of the First Term Paper

Introduction
Live-Action Film: "Lucy"
Thesis:
In Universal Pictures' "Lucy," many laws of physic does not apply to the main character, Lucy, features Scarlet Johansson. This was done on purpose to deliver her extra-ordinary powers due to the chemicals called CPH4 that was implanted into her body by a Korean gang.

Body Paragraphs
1) Gravity does not exist for Lucy
a. When CPH4 in her body was activating at 20%, it tries to heal her body after she was beaten up by one of the gangster. (at 25:33)
b. Right after Lucy recovered from her injuries due to the CPH4, a man came into her cell to torture her more. She escape by beating him. As she does so, she flipped his body 360 degrees in the air and then he hit the ground. (at 29:19)

2) Pain does not exist for Lucy
a. After Lucy killed about five gangsters with her gun, she pulled out her own bullet near her clavicle bone without any anesthetic. (at 29:55)
b. Lucy asked a doctor to perform surgery on her body to take out a bag of CPH4 that is still left in her stomach. The doctor completed the surgery without giving her any anesthetic as per Lucy's request. (at 36:29)

3) Superpowers Lucy
a. Lucy waved her arms and the flight attendent flew backward, literally. (at 54:11)
b. The CPH4 was activating in Lucy's body at 50%. This allows her to use her x-ray visions to see through the walls and people. (at 55:46)
c. Lucy unload a gun with her mind. (at 56:40)
d. Activating at 60%, the CPH4 allows Lucy to put an invisible force field in front of a gangster.

4) Competing Hypothesis: "Law of Physics does not applied to Lucy"
a. Detective Del Rio was shot on the neck. He felt the pain because he was not affected by the chemical CPH4. (at 1:12:09)

Conclusion
In "Lucy," the law of physics is only broken for Lucy due to the chemical CPH4. This was to deliver how powerful this chemical can affect the human body.
