Madame Curie and a Beautiful Mind: A Comparison
There is a chaw to commend close the cardinal movies which are the subjects of this paper. The former is a biographical hit about the Polish-French physicist, Marie curie who was the first woman to shape up a Nobel observe in Science and also the first to carry won two in the same field while the latter(prenominal) is also about the living of John Forbes Nash, a Nobel Laureate Mathematician.These two scenes that tackle at a personal level the lives of prominent individuals permit arrived at certain commonalities and distinctions, however unintended. It is the aim of this discussion to discern these similarities and differences in a way that we will also be up to(p) to identify some brokers of the stories. An assumption however is made which is that a classic ingest much(prenominal) as Madame Curie may have a lot to learn from relatively modern movie A Beautiful fountainhead, perhaps for any intentions for a remake of the first.The idea of Madame Curie is to be abl e to reveal the personal characteristics of the great female Physicist how she came to be popular with her discoveries, and how she had lived her life to the fullest. She was disclosed to us during her early childhood as a sorry student who had tendencies of fainting in class because of her unhealthy condition. Her name is Marie Sklodowska.Her enthusiasm in science nonetheless led her to an occasion where at the same cadence she met her future personaner and husband, in the name of capital of South Dakota Curie- whom she have met in a soiree which was thrown by Professor Perots wife. It was coincidental that the play off is both interested in science being a physicist himself, capital of South Dakota at first offered Marie his laboratory then had asked him to marry her in a scientific, logical and philosophical way this added on to the thrill and fun part of the story.The movie has indeed been successful in being able to link the factual knowledge about Maries work and her soc ial and esteem cum family life. For instance, her start out to discover a third radioactive element in the rock which she found to have enough energy to send small photographs also led her to divulge to Pierres family about her pregnancy.At the same time, the film has socio-political implications. It has presented to its sense of hearing some of the issues and problems in the scientific research and academe. Sorbonne Physics Department for example did not want to reserve financial support for the implementation and pursuit of their project. In search for the element, radium, they had to refuse the old building where they had to conduct their experiments. The movie had shown the annoying and difficulties of a scientist kindred Marie Curie only for the sake of knowledge and husking.The movie hence was able to share virtues that humans need to uphold for development and success such as patience, dedication and hard work. Such grand consequences are uttered in their orbit tour s and vacation, engagement in press conferences and acceptance of Nobel honor not to mention the new laboratory that was given to them by the University since its discoverys fulfillment.Yet scientists and intellectuals however serious and devoted people baffle from desperation in addition especially in the midst of a sad death of a savord one. It is interesting how the life story of Madame Curie had been translated into a love story too which has a start-off and an end. Marie almost lost her mind with Pierre Curies accident. However, the movies finale proved itself a movie worthy of remembrance as Marie attended and delivered a speech in the 25th Anniversary jubilance of Radiums Discovery. To her, science which is her craft and her husbands too is the way to a better world. Inspiring and challenging indeed are the commentaries of critiques to this much celebrated film in the forties.A Beautiful Mind is a 2001 film about John Nash. The movie evolved from a Pulitzer Prize nomi nated book in 1998 by Sylvia Nasar. exchangeable the Madame Curie film, the beginning of the story is the early life of Nash in a university setting. He analyze then at Princeton where he planned on his unique perspectives aimed at improving the future of Mathematics as a recepient of Carnegie Scholarship in Math.To most people who did not know John Nash, the movie may appear to be a story of a schizoprenic. Just similar the first movie we dealt with above, A Beautiful Mind is a notional way of presenting the ideas of a genius like Nash while invading his hidden family and social affairs. For instance, the movie utilized a scene at the obstacle with his friends where a rejection of him by woman has induced his interest in the fantasy of governing dynamics, a theory in numeral economics which became his dissertation subject.Similar to the interpretation of Marie Curies character as physicist Nash mathematical skills led him also to relate and mingle in the practical world usin g math reasoning and solutions again to provide excitement among its audience. same(p) Curie, Nash too got interested in teaching after graduation. He taught chalkstone in MIT, but Marie Curie was more driven by Pierre to study further in her area of interest. In the same context, Nash met and furious in love with his student, Alicia Larde whom he married eventually.The movie benefitted from the modern optic effects of the twentieth century in succesfully portraying the paranoia and delusional episodes of the important character. Like Madame Curie, a mixture of happiness, pain, sorrow and difficulties traversed in the various acts in the story.However, unlike the first, this second film has been criticized for the inaccuracies of John Nashs life in several accounts as portrayed here. Perhaps, an understandable exaggeration of the latter has been sure to make the story more moving and appealing.The main difference with this film against the other one is its more complicated pl ot and additional participation elements. The story becomes an action film at the same time when Nash was subjected to a mission of decoding an encryption of the enemys telecom at the US Department of Defense. The mission has deepened into an anti Soviet-related plot. The pressures and tensions provoked in the scenes of gunfires had caused Nash to deport erratically. He has turned paranoid which made his wife bring him to a psychiatric hospital where he thought everybody were Soviet kidnappers.The twist of the film is that the other characters like Marcee, the girl he became fond of, Charles, his bestfriend, and Parcher, the secret divisor are all products of his hallucinations. The story revolved in this kind of set-up where the triad would appear and would tell him things he often believed and reacted to to the point that one of them, Parcher, has convert him to kill his wife.Like Madame Curie, A Beautiful Mind is a love story which showed the loyalty, and patience of Alicia to her husband John. Imagine how hard it was for Alicia to join Nash in his psychosis and relieve him of his worries and dilemmas not to mention the almost murderous act of Nash of drowning their plunder during bathing. In reality however, John Nash suffered only from auditory hallucinations, not visual. Like Madame Curie, the movie ended in a pleasing way nonetheless, where he earned a Nobel Prize in Economics for his famous game Theory.In conclusion, Madame Curie film is equally a powerful attempt at telling the real story of Marie Curie while preserving the exposit of her life. A Beautiful Mind however has evolved into a commerialized film which desire to gain interest among the watchers by complicating and fictionalizing on several scenes. It does not pain however doing this in a similar occasion for a revivification of Madame Curie movie. I would suggest an inclusion of twists and conflicts as well say, infidelity, duplicity or money and power status competition. In this way, the movie is not only modernized, it also becomes more challenging on the part of the audience and the film makers. It is nevertheless important for any movie to announce which elaborate are made up and which are real.
