Wow. I was so happy to find out that there was a movie about Richard Feynman. I have read a couple of his books, and I am totally amazed of his life. What he has achieved in science and what he has done outside science... he was such a character. To me, one of the most interesting characters I know.
Everything begun well. There was certain quotes from Feynman's books that I expected. I was happy. But soon enough I realized everything was not OK... this was only a love story between Richard and Arline! No, there is certainly nothing wrong with a love story. This might be a decent love story between two individuals. But for people who know who Richard Feynman was, this must be a huge disappointment. He was so much more than this. He deserved more than this, and I still hope he gets a movie which is more than this.
If you liked the movie and ended up wondering what else Feynman did during his lifetime, read his books (start up with Surely You Are Joking, Mr. Feynman). Even if you did not like the movie, but you want to know more about Feynman, read the book. If you are, or if you are not, interested in science, read the book. Feynman deserves to be known better... he is one of the best scientists of our time, and one of the greatest persons of our time.
