Limitless Analysis, Marxism and Feminism.
At the beginning of the trailer, the main character, Eddie, does not conform to the typical stereotype of a man. We are introduced to a man, who starts off as a low status citizen in New York City, with little money, power, and authority, a character who appears to be struggling with life, which goes against typical representation of a male character. However, by the end of trailer, Eddy the main protagonist, has manipulated some of the biggest business men in the world, and became incredibly wealthy, rich and famous- and as a result, the hierarchy difference becomes more balanced, and so he becomes more equal.
Feminists are likely to respond to this in a fairly positive way, as it demonstrates that it is not just female characters that have to fight for equality, and that men also can be just as inferior a woman can be.
However, it could also suggest that if you are a lower class citizen, with little money, power isn't an option for you unless you cheat your way into the business. At the start of the trailer, the main character, Eddy, states the reason 'why he looks like this' is because he is 'a writer' suggesting that this job title hasn't got much hope, and because of the job, you will not have much going for you, so potential lacks. This trailer suggests that the only way to overcome this is to perform illegal moves, represented by the drug used to increase intelligence and capabilities, enabling authority to be gained.
