They are nicely filmed and the scenery is beautiful and it did show his motivations which was great. ![]() ![]() Didn't find the scenes in Madras/India depicting Ramanujan's personal life anywhere near as interesting as the scenes in Cambridge and particularly the scenes between Ramanujan and Hardy, and to me they are the film's biggest fault. Very like 'A Beautiful Mind', 'The Man Who Knew Infinity' helped make me appreciate Maths much more. Despite inaccuracies and what made Ramanujan's work so ground-breaking not delved into enough it does try to treat this remarkable man and his story respectfully and does well in making Maths interesting and accessible. It is though well-intended and earnest, that mostly compels and much of it well written and acted. It is nowhere near close to flawless and it falls short of being a great film. On the most part, 'The Man Who Knew Infinity' was a winner and struck a chord with me. Never got my head around some of it and it didn't engage me as much as Music, History, English, French and German did, while always appreciating its importance and why it is considered a compulsory subject in primary and secondary schools up to A-Levels. Despite what 'The Man Who Knew Infinity' had going for it, part of me was not sure as to whether it would completely work for me, with Maths always having been one of my least favourite subjects in school. This does sound irrelevant, but it isn't really once saying what my thoughts on his performance here is and how it fares compared to his other work. Although he is deservedly lauded by many, to me he is deserving of more credit, due to generally being restricted to (mostly) supporting roles in hit (this, 'The Borgias', 'Margin Call' and 'Henry IV' for examples) and miss ('Assassins Creed', 'Batman v Superman', 'The Time Machine', though he was among the better assets in all three, and especially 'Dungeons and Dragons' which is in every way indefensible) output since 'Lolita' that don't show his full talent, even when in a vast majority of them he is one of the bright spots, that people sometimes forget how brilliant a lot of his early work is. Another selling point for me was Jeremy Irons, have always loved him if again more for his early work up to 'Lolita'. Srinivasa Ramanujan, his story and his ground-breaking contributions to mathematics also fascinate and worth telling and looking up, and it was great to have the opportunity to have them better known. Do yourself a favor and give this one a try.īiopics have always interested me, regardless of whether liberties are taken with the facts (the case with quite a lot) many of them are very well made and fascinating while also featuring lead performances that do the subject in question justice. A very, very strange film.and I mean that in the most positive of ways. As for Irons, he is, as usual, amazing.as is Toby Jones. It's also nice to see Dev Patel in yet another excellent film, as this young man seems to have a real knack for picking film projects (such as his appearing in "Slumdog Millionaire" and "Chappie"). Somehow, the writing, acting and the entire production screams quality and manages to be quite entertaining as well as uplifting. I know my very brief description sounds very dull.but somehow it isn't. The film covers the prejudices Ramanujan encountered as well as the initial difficulty getting folks to even consider that he could be right when it came to his theories. It seems this man somehow naturally understood numbers in a way very, very have ever done and today he's seen as one of the foremost men in the field.ever! This film is about his life just before his work was discovered as well as his time spent at Cambridge, working with the famous mathematics professor, G.H. A poor man with little education, Srinivasa Ramanujan (Dev Patel), has apparently taught himself advanced mathematics.and I am not just talking about Algebra and Geometry. The film begins in India just before WWI. It's just debuted on DVD and is also available through Netflix. And yet, inexplicably, I found myself loving the picture and recommend you give it a try. After all, the film is about a brilliant Indian mathematician who I never heard about and lacks most of the usual story elements I look forward to seeing in a movie. ![]() "The Man Who Knew Infinity" is a very unlikely film for me to love. ![]()
