Today we will be having another movie review instead of a book review. The books I've read lately aren't very good, and I haven't even been able to finish a couple. I don't like to review books that I can't say at least one good thing about.
The movie that I want to review today is definitely worth viewing. "The Man Who Knew Infinity" tells the true story of the relationship between mathematicians Srinivasa Ramanujan and G.H. Hardy.
Ramanujan was an Indian man living in Madras. He was a mathematical genius. He corresponded with some mathematicians in Britain, but they rejected his ideas because he did not have any formal training. However, G.H. Hardy was impressed with Ramanujan's work and brought him to Cambridge University.
Ramanujan faced a great deal of discrimination, and at first, his relationship with Hardy was shaky. However, the two men grew to respect each other, and the two of them worked together to make several great mathematical discoveries.
I highly recommend this movie. Jeremy Irons gives a superb performance, and Dev Patel does excellent work as well. You don't have to know higher math to understand this film. It is a movie about a relationship and overcoming prejudice and discrimination. It shows that anyone can succeed with determination.
