The most important thing is that, while combing Dr. Kinsey's life in great detail, he did not let the experiences of these various stages become scattered fragments, but connected them through a clear main line. And anyone who knows something about Dr. Kinsey will know that the main thread found in the film is a good coincidence.
In fact, for a film about a scientist, obsession seems like the only choice. The film also chose "persistence" as the keel, as a narrative of the career of Dr. Kinsey, and at the same time, the handling of the characters' feelings in the film also used "persistence" to respond. This also coincides with Dr. Kinsey's understanding of the relationship between love and sex - love does not necessarily have sex to support, and sex does not necessarily lead to love. As a film with a large span and coverage, it is not easy to make achievements in emotional aspects that are not themes. For example, for the presentation of Mrs. Kinsey, both the director and the actors tried their best to get rid of the situation of the vase. Although not ideal, there are still some breakthroughs.
Another emotional focus is Dr. Kinsey's relationship with student Mark, and this becomes another credit for the film's artful presentation of academic research in film. For Dr. Kinsey's research results on homosexuality, it is placed on this. In this way, the abruptness of academics in popular films is minimized.
For Dr. Kinsey's research in entomology, it is also one of the highlights. Here we can regard it as a foreshadowing, which is an indispensable step for opening the following content, which also creates good conditions for the audience to better understand the task, because if this link is missing, it will inevitably make the audience There are doubts about the starting point of Dr. Kinsey's sexuality research.
Undoubtedly, as a re-enactment of a character that has been heard before, the film is comforting.
