Review of A Brief History of Time (1991) by Russell G — 18 Jun 2009
I was expecting this to more of an adaptation of the book. Hence I avoided it for so long as I consider myself far too stupid to understand the book of the same title. Ends up this was a fascinating and accessible film! It's pretty near a 50/50 split between explaining his work and telling his life story, with both being equally interesting. It's pretty amazing to see a film that asks such philosophical questions as "Why can't we remember the future?" and then have the balls to attempt to answer with math to back it up.
I want to take a stab at a book of his now.
Errol Morris is always in fine form. I'm yet to see a bad film or series (L&O Crime And Punishment needs a DVD release!) by the man. This is lesson learned that if Morris name is on the film, to watch it ASAP.
