      A different Edison

      The film allows the audience to see a different Edison.

      In people's minds, Edison is a well-known invention king, a diligent who said "genius = 99% sweat + 1% inspiration", and a forerunner of "bringing light to the world" described in textbooks.

      But Edison in "Battle of Electricity" is a ruthless...

      Half a flower boxing, half a good movie

      The director tries to focus on the tit-for-tat of Edison, Tesla and Westinghouse, using mutual business competition to show their contradictory images of inventors and reckless coexistence, and give the sacrifices behind these great men Lost things, restore the three-dimensional and dark side of...

      Lonely and conceited, the pioneers who struggled and betrayed themselves. New York in 1880, Chicago World's Fair in 1893, Edison's gramophone and movie theater, these are worth seeing. The parallel clip of the lighting ceremony and the electric chair execution in the 85th minute is heart-wrenching. Geniuses always need money and the approval of ordinary people. In addition to the two bigwigs, there are Poppu, Insar and Tesla. Everyone is silently hiding in the history of science and technology, which is too lonely. The screenwriter added the persistent troubles and love ties of the scientists into it. Ending with a quiet conversation, in front of the calligraphy booth loved by our greatest inventor of the 21st century, Joe Gang

      Damn Edison's character is too scumbag, even if he has monstrous talent, but there is no pattern. Westinghouse is smart and stylish, yes, very decent. Always secretly hoped that Westinghouse would be the winner, and sure enough. The dialogue about "success" at the end is the spark of the whole film. I can't help crying. The moment when the master puts down his grievances and hearts meet, like light meets electricity. But these are not the point, the point is: Nizi is really good-looking, and every time it appears, people are surprised by her beauty. I can't believe Nizi will be 30 years old in a few days. It's been a long time since he was a little boy. Another: The BGM of electronic music + string music is super gorgeous, and there is no juice source after searching for a long time.

    The Current War: Director's Cut quotes

    • George Westinghouse: I can take a beating, but I have no patience for shoddy craftmanship.

    • Franklin Pope: The good thing about Edison is that he could be the richest man in the world, but he doesn't give a damn about money.

      George Westinghouse: What does he give a damn about?
