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.

    It's not wrong to be on the street. The editing was quite rhythmic, and the camera movements in several scenes were also very strange. There was no need to hold them. It took about 30 minutes for me to figure out the clues at the beginning, and the story was basically not told well at the end of the whole scene. The service is great, the soundtrack is good, and the last dialogue between Edison and Westinghouse is one of the few highlights, and Tesla plays soy sauce throughout. What a waste of such a good subject, but when I saw Edison turning the film in the camera for the first time, I couldn't help exclaiming. 2019.08.24 Round Square
