Character Development (Limitless)

In this movie, I think that the most important moment of character development for Eddie was when he first took the NZT pill. Before he takes the pill he has no control over his life; his girlfriend breaks up with him, his house is mess, and has no motivation for the book he is writing. When he meats up with his ex brother in-law Vern; Eddie is depressed and ready to try anything to make his life better and moving. After he takes the pill Vern gave him he suddenly has control over his life again. He cleans up his house, writes over half his book in one night, and remembers things he barely can recall.


The taking of the NZT pill was the most important moment in Eddie’s character development because it was the forefront to the rest of Eddie’s character development and the movie. He became a completely different person after he took the pills. He was addicted and desperate to get them.
