What themes does this next scene of Limitless raise? The changes in the character etc?

In comparison to the previous introductory scene of Limitless, the character is clearly experiencing changes to his personality and characteristics.
The scene portrays several different visual versions of himself that begin to work extremely hard to clean up his apartment  Through this, he is almost portrayed with a super power. As his many different self's are cleaning up his apartment, it shows the clear transition from his 'waste of space' self in the previous scene, to the current scene.
The lighting also portrays the change of the character. In the first scene he is sitting in a dull/dim lit bar or pub, facing the darker end, with his back to the light, this then contrasts to the current scene where the whole apartment his brightly lit. This could portray the theme of revelation and realisation. This is not only the most prominent aspect of the characters transition; his eye colour is also noticeably brighter in colour in comparison to the previous scene, this could also contribute to my previous comment of portraying this realisation and revelation of the 'new life' this drug has allowed him to experience.
