The one that impressed me the most recently was a British drama: "Genius". The film is about Einstein's story, how he went from nothing to fame, to becoming a world-renowned great scientist. The ups and downs and twists and turns experienced in it can be imagined.
Especially in his later years, when he was engaged in education in German universities, he was facing a country filled with extreme hatred and revanchism, and the slogan of "kill the Jews" was clamoring around him anytime, anywhere. The title of "the most famous scientist in the world" doesn't get him a gold medal. At the beginning of the film, one of his high-ranking Jewish friends was brutally assassinated. But what saddens me the most is his story about him and his first wife Mileva.
In fact, the love story at the beginning of the story is not about Einstad and Mileva. It was one of his girlfriends at the time, we could call it the first love girl.
When Einstein fell in love with the first love girl, it was vigorous, and the sky was thunderous and the earth was on fire. In the movie, a particularly beautiful picture was used to set off this beautiful and pure first love. Until Einstein met his future wife Mileva, the only female student in the school, we can also call her an unprecedented female scholar.
All this has changed.
One can imagine the mood of Einstein at that time, he wanted to be windy in love (however, the object was just a beautiful Barbie doll, it was difficult to understand the infinite imagination and ambition of Xueba for the scientific world);
He was invincible academically (although he barely passed all but the sciences, it was hard to overshadow his top-notch and compelling physics).
So when he met this schoolboy female classmate. She was beautiful, rebellious; most importantly, she was the only person in her class who was ahead of Einstein in math.
There should be two emotions implicit in his heart, one is a strong appreciation and obsession with her (you must know that in the era when girls were highly knowledgeable and ladylike, it was already super difficult for girls to have a high degree, It is a miracle to squeeze into a world-class institution); and the other, of course, is the desire to conquer women as a male.
From a young age, Mileva's father discovered that although his daughter was disabled (one leg was lame), she was absolutely gifted in science. Despite the disapproval, her father insisted on sending her to the boys' school to study science, and even humbly begged the principal to give her a chance to study.
Her father had high hopes for her.
He knew that in those days, if she didn't want to rely on her husband for the rest of her life, she had to have her own strength. He hoped that she could rely on her talent and hard work in the future, and she didn't need to be like those girls of the same generation who could only live in firewood, rice, oil and salt all her life. Serving husband and children. More importantly, because he knew that his daughter was a rare genius; he didn't want such a talent to be buried and wiped away by invisible time.
He hopes that his daughter can achieve something, can live more freely and bravely.
However, under Einstein's sweet words and love offensive, Mileva finally gave up her studies and went to love.
She gradually ignored her studies and lived in the "love" dream woven by Einstein for a long time. She was even forced to drop out of school because she wasted too much of her studies.
Yes, maybe you knew Einstein was a famous "scumbag" before reading this story.
This point is also directly contrasted in this TV series (Madame Curie's husband ceded the honor to his wife). Einstein's first few papers that made him world-famous, a large part of the credit should actually be counted on his ex-wife Mileva, who consulted countless classics for him and helped him solve mathematical formulas. Even Einstein himself admitted when writing his thesis, "I can't live without my wife, I need her to solve math problems for me."
Today, in our opinion, those papers should at least be more than Einstein's name, but the work of two people. However, in the face of his wife's questioning, "You didn't even mention my name."
Einstein's answer was frank, too, saying, "Yes, I didn't think about it at all."
But in my opinion, instead of blaming others for being "scumbag", it's better to ask yourself why you don't live a more persistent life like him?
We are not blaming those who are obsessed with, and give for, love.
Nor are we resisting Mileva falling in love or falling in love with Einstein.
What we can see is that, in addition to researching his various scientific researches and writing his papers, Einstein never failed to find love in his life, and even when he was old, he couldn't help hooking up with the secretary beside him.
But he never forgot his mission, that is, to be a scientist, to study greater, more shocking, and even greater technologies that can save the common people.
Love is not the reason for him not to work hard and explore the career he loves, and it will not be an obstacle to stop him from succeeding.
On the contrary, what he knows better is that inner peace and the beauty of love are important, but self-realization and achievement of his career cannot wait for a moment.
This is also why he became Einstein, and his wife, because she could not get out of the haze of this marriage, lived in the torture of her own mental illness for many years, and finally died of depression.
Beauvoir was quite right when he said , "The great fortune of a man is that he, in manhood and in childhood, has to tread a very hard road, but it is the surest one; woman Her misfortune consists in being surrounded by an almost irresistible temptation; she is not required to push up, only encouraged to slide down to bliss.
By the time she finds herself being fooled by a mirage, it is too late, her powers have been exhausted in a failed adventure. "
When we see: Mileva, who was cultivated by her father and who had high expectations from her teachers; Mileva who stayed up all night to get admitted to a world-class university; Mileva who scored better than other male students in the school and even crushed Einstein. Leva. In the end, he abandoned his studies, stopped the pace of scientific research and the courage to realize his dreams.
In addition to sighing and sighing, there should be more inspiration for us, especially us as girls.
So in my opinion, the biggest inspiration is, "Nothing in this world can be a reason to stop you from progressing and learning. Parents' love is not, society's connivance and misunderstanding are not, and love should be the last thing."
