war of genius

I think it's pretty good. However, as far as the performance of the film is concerned, fans of Edison, Tesla, and Westinghouse, especially the fans of the former two, must be angry and give bad reviews. ?

In the battle of electricity, Edison's character is really bad. He saw that electricity is the foundation of the future world. If you control electricity, you will control everything, so you must hold electricity in your own hands.

Edison invented the direct current, Westinghouse invented the alternating current, Edison did not hesitate to discredit the other party's alternating current, electrocuted a bunch of cats and dogs, and even secretly made an electric chair to electrocute prisoners. ?

Edison was so angry that he almost cried, the General Electric company is still the largest electric company in the world.

Westinghouse is a very gentleman, and his generosity to Tesla is in stark contrast to the stingy Edison.

Some talented wizards seem to have traveled back from the future, surpassing their contemporaries by hundreds of years, such as Tesla.

Tesla's pattern is bigger than Edison's. Edison only wants to light up a few blocks, Westinghouse is going to light up Chicago, and Tesla is going to build a power station on the waterfall to light up the entire United States, and even all mankind.

The world Tesla envisioned is two hundred years from now.

However, Tesla, like all geniuses, has no extra energy to manage money, so even if he has more than a thousand inventions, he has always been poor (Edison was a team studio to create inventions, and Tesla would have better reputation and business than Tesla). wealth).

The current Tesla company has nothing to do with Tesla. It was two people who admired Tesla in later generations who opened the company and took his name in memory of him.

By the way, Westinghouse's company is still there, that is, the famous Westinghouse Electric.

In the end, the cool thing I learned was that Edison invented the movie. Also, although Edison lost the electrical war, the award that Tesla and Westinghouse won was the Edison Award. ?

    Entrusting recordings to repair fences, exploiting foreign workers, trains that never stopped, letters that haven't been destroyed... All aspects of production are exquisite, but the focus of this technological innovation competition is to focus on the battle of public opinion on AC death rates. Too right?

    A running account of a luxury cast, it lists historical events without establishing any emotional connection between the characters and the audience. There is no sense of substitution, and no sense of war.

The Current War: Director's Cut quotes

  • 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.

    Thomas Edison: To all whom it may concern, be it known that I, Thomas Alva Edison, submits on this, the 27th day of January, 1880, the application of this abstract to the Patent Office of the United States of America. The unique design of my invention is that of a glass vacuum tube which houses inside a thin cotton thread filament, the two lower ends of which secure respective posts, forming an arch shape. Details and schematic drawings follow exhibiting all aspects of the invention. But its purpose is simple, to give light.
