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. ?

    "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.”

    Genius always makes people love and hate. As a biopic, it does not hesitate to show the hypocrisy and despicability of the protagonist Edison, and in contrast, the rival Westinghouse is tolerant and upright. In terms of casting, it can be described as Marvel vs. DC. Unfortunately, the three images of Marvel are too deeply rooted in the hearts of the people to be substituted. Only Shannon hides himself and immerses himself in the role. This battle of electricity was chaotic and tedious, and the climax battle was still in the field where the protagonist did not care. This defeat was insignificant to him, and he did not grow from it. It was a flaw in the biography. However, the atmosphere of the masters in the whole film promoting technological progress and civilization development in the competition is still very exciting, and the electronic soundtrack in the retro film is also quite fresh.
