Different from the previous image of Edison

The War of Electricity I watched this time, the Edison portrayed was very different from what I saw in the book before. This movie and Benedict Cumberbatch let the audience see a more human Edison, not just a "Genius Inventor" allows the audience to see that great men also have the shortcomings of publicity, paranoia, and arrogance. It also makes the viewers feel that Edison is not a sacred and indestructible god-like existence, but a person with flesh and blood and shortcomings. Whether it was a secret battle or a head-on collision with Westinghouse, it was memorable and made me realize the greatness of Tesla. This is a "war" of three geniuses. In the end, it is self-evident that Edison and Westinghouse also brought this game to an end.

    There is only one feeling, the soundtrack is similar to the imitation game!

    It's really not easy to delay the release for two years. Curly Fu is still the same taste as the recipe, while the Dutch brother is much more immature. The one-and-a-half-hour film is compact but exciting. Some people say that this kind of narrative technique has no ups and downs and no climax, but I feel that there are surprises and climaxes everywhere, and many dialogues will make people smile or recall for a long time. Compared to the era when we could go from 0 to 1 at any time, our life now is really mediocre and boring. Where there is light, there is darkness, and beyond victory or defeat, everyone is shining brightly on the road to changing the world. This film really goes to the cinema, because when we watch the film, when we see the invention of the film, we really have the illusion of parallel time and space, as if we also witnessed the historic moment.

The Current War: Director's Cut quotes

  • George Westinghouse: The value of something isn't what someone's willing to pay, but the value of something is what it contributes.

  • Nikola Tesla: A true legacy isn't what we build up to the heavens or carve deep into stone. Rocks will crumble,paper disintegrates, and bone turns to powder. Only that which isn't in the physical realm and reaches in both directions can be eternal. Our ideas.They are what we leave behind. And only they are what can push us forward.
