Movie friend 1.
When it comes to Edison, what do we think of? Light bulbs, phonographs, movies... However, we only know these achievements. In fact, behind every great invention, there are often hidden stories. In the past, we only knew that Edison invented the light cannon, but what was the background of the production at that time? Or what difficulties did you encounter? Wait, these are the topics we should dig deeper into. Just like the story presented in the Hollywood blockbuster "Battle of Electricity", it truly restores the entire environment of Edison's invention of the light bulb at that time, as well as the scene of the competition with competitors such as Tesla. , the price paid is quite high.

Edison invented the light bulb, then what? I believe that many people have the same understanding as me, and they just stop there. In fact, in the words "invented the light bulb", there are still more unknown stories hidden, such as why Edison was able to invent the light bulb? What difficulties did he encounter in the process of invention? What is his family atmosphere like? Wait, in focusing on the light bulb itself, we may be able to extend more points of interest, or a more comprehensive understanding of Edison. The film "Battle of Electricity" allows us to see the vivid image of Edison, and more comprehensive information about his invention, his family, his competitors, etc., must be one of the selling points of the film.

After watching the movie "Battle of Electricity", I was most impressed by Edison's wife. In order to allow her husband to have a safe creative environment, she supported the entire family by herself, and then she had to find a psychiatrist to solve problems. Finally got sick. I have to say, she was tired and had to endure too much. In the film, Edison's direct current theory and Tesla's alternating current theory are in fierce confrontation. There is a kind of posture that either you are dead or I am dead. In fact, in the end, both theories are established, so sometimes the competition may not be the same. bad thing.

This film is actually very interesting. Just by looking at the title and introduction, you can see that the film focuses on Edison's invention of the light bulb and the debate between the two current giants on direct current and alternating current. At the same time, we also learn about Edison's family. situation, the process of inventing the light bulb, etc., so it's kind of like an interesting history lesson to learn more about Edison, so to speak.
In addition to the big cast, this film also has a very good picture, which vividly restores the era at that time. At the same time, let us meet a different Edison - a stubborn inventor, but also an inventor who keeps creating. In short, it surpasses "The Tuner" from the shooting lineup to the cast, so I personally estimate that the box office of "Battle of Electricity" is more than 1 billion.
