Everything needs to be verified

"Proof" is also called "evidence", English name "Proof". When I first saw it, I didn't understand what was going on, but gradually I understood, it was like this.
In the past, I have heard people say that there is only a fine line between genius and mental illness, and it is easier to get the title of "genius" and "psychotic" than "psychotic". After all, it is not easy for many people to admit that their IQ is lower than yours. They can choose to disapprove of your achievements and attribute your whimsy to mistakes, so the genius is killed, and the status of mediocrity also saved.
The professor in the film, a respected mathematician, achieved high achievement at a young age, but schizophrenia appeared. The youngest daughter dropped out of school to accompany the professor's final moments, and a note to solve a math puzzle sets off a chain of events. The focus of this film lies in the family affection between father and daughter, as well as the ideological logic of genius. Perhaps it is the genius who has so many creative inspirations, and even the hallucinations that appear in front of him can't tell whether it is real or not, sometimes neurasthenia, sometimes hysterical. Geniuses specialize in one thing, and it is difficult to take care of their own life, which is also what others do not understand.
What did it finally prove? Everything turned out to be very simple, but she was lucky enough to let others find the answer, what about other geniuses?

This film is worth watching in your spare time, but you must be patient. The most touching thing is family. Rating: 7

    There is a problem with the random rhythm, and the theme of making up mysteries and thinness does not need such a big frame to support the character of my sister. Is it really useful...

    Gwyneth's acting skills in this movie are far better than Shakespeare's love history!

Proof quotes

  • Catherine: If I go back to the beginning, I could start it over again. I could go line by line; try and find a shorter way. I could try to make it... better.

  • Hal: Well, I'm gonna be late. Some friends of mine are in this band. They're playing in a bar on Diversey, way down the bill, they go on about 2 to 2:30. I said I'd be there.

    Catherine: Great.

    Hal: They're all in the math deparment, they're really good. They have this song called 'i', you'd like it. Like lower-cased i. They just stand there and don't play anything for three minutes.

    Catherine: Imaginary number.

    Hal: It's a math joke... You see why they're way down on the bill.

    Catherine: That's a long way to drive to see some nerds in a band.

    Hal: You know, I hate when people say that. It's not really that long of a drive.

    Catherine: So, they are nerds.

    Hal: Oh, they're raging geeks. But they're geeks who, you know, can dress themselves and hold down a job at a major university. Some of them have switched from glasses to contacts. They, uh, play sports, they play in a band, they get laid suprisingly often... So, it makes you kinda question the whole set of terms. Geek, nerd, wonk, dilbert, paste eater...

    Catherine: You're in this band, aren't you.

    Hal: Ok, yes. I play the drums. You wanna come? I never sing, I swear to God.
