MARIA SKLODOWSKA-CURIE (MARIE CURIE)
Watchable. The movie's disturbing and uplifting at the same time. While there is still enormous resistance against acknowledging women's intelligence, we can see we've gone a long way since the times in which she managed to triumph against all odds. All the more it's unsettling to see her depiction limited to her work and private life. Numerous trivia about her extracurricular interests and activities have been published recently but they stay out of the picture. So, willingly or not, we have to focus on her work to life balance. For people who break the grounds of science on a daily basis it's relatively easy to break free of propriety After all, if no rule of physics or chemistry is guaranteed to stay valid forever and everything is relative (Einstein is one of protagonists here), why would the soft rules of the fabric of society be taken for granted? As we know from the real world, the lower the educational level the more rigidly the people adhere to traditional values and customs. She was far above that. And paid a price. Story apart, I disliked the dark shades in which the whole story was shot.
