Review of Madame Curie (1943) by Robyn M — 10 Oct 2012
Beautiful Bio-pic about the first Influential Female Scientist to Win a Noble Peace Price and Invent a new Element for the Periodic Charts. Greer is Fantastic, the film itself is slow and somewhat compressed and repressed for storyline. But Curie's Ingenious foretelling of Radiation crystallizing Uranium paths the way to future scientist who continue to use her methods.
*Spoilers Alert* Pierre Curie's death is documented and played out at the end, however the radical heroin (Marie) builds a legend for her famous Element findings and outlast the film with a powerful speech followed by Credits. In real life Marie miraculously lives to the age of 66 and passes away from Radiation/ mercury poisoning onset from her years of studying and experimenting with Chemical reactions.
The damaging effects of ionising radiation were not then known, and much of her work had been carried out in a shed, without the safety measures that were later developed. Her health also was ground breaking in the Science/ Medical field as Curie was the first to present unusual symptoms and death by Radiation.
