Hows this for a bit of relativity. Yesterday I watched Genius, a biographical drama on the life and times of Albert Einstein. Came across it on one of my book hauls in the Oxfam Book shop.It being a day off work I watched it through to the end, spending one day, and a psuedo-lifetime in the company of the great man. There are some very powerful performances throughout its long run, not just from the leads, with some characters being recast as they aged.Found it a compelling and interesting (Not always the same thing) watch as it gave new life to so many others in his life, especially his first wife Mileva Maric,a remarkable thinker in her own right and the rock upon which his school of relativity was built. Overlooked during much of his life and sadly ever since he passed. Which leads me to the curious coincidence that is today, the anniversary of his death on 18th April 1955.
I heartily recommend a watch. There is much in it that modernity can, er, relate too.
