I just finished watching this biographical drama on Einstein's life. I found it quite good. Has anyone else here seen it?
The forum discussion centers on the biographical drama "Genius," which portrays Albert Einstein's life and relationships. Participants express mixed feelings, with some preferring the NOVA documentaries for their factual presentation over dramatic elements. Key historical insights include Einstein's delayed recognition after publishing his theories and his collaboration with David Bohm, who faced persecution from J. Edgar Hoover due to his political affiliations. The discussion highlights the film's educational value, particularly regarding the context of World War II and its impact on scientific figures.
