Radioactive (2019)
5/10
Disappointing portrait of a great scientist
10 November 2020
I was really excited to see this movie as it was supposed to portray one of the most well know woman scientist in the world. However, there was almost nothing about her achievements in this movie. The achivements of her kept almost at the background of her relationships, some pointless characters (dancer etc) and historical events happened in that period of time. While her status as a poor immigrant, all the hard work she have done to be a successful and respected women scientist in a male-led and racist environment, her bravery and humbleness, all the support and donations she made was cast aside and she just represented as a cold and smart woman with a critisizing tone (which looks a bit of sexist portray). I don't know if she was like that as a person however, I think even that was the case, it should have been shown what she has been through and how did she come to that point. I understand that she had a complex and very hard life and it may not be possible to portray all of this in 2 hours but 2 hours about a most influential women in the history should have not be focused on her sex life, unrelated characters and all the drawbacks of her invention.

I think, they should have created a more inspirational movie about her story such as how her curiosity led to these great achivements and acceptance and respect in a male-dominant society to inspire the future of young scientist. Applications and the results of her invention should have been in a separate movie which includes all the scientists whom inventions brought certain costs when they fall into wrong hands.
