Not sure I need to know about Einstein's love life, and the editing looks a little to polished/fancy for the subject matter. But it still looks interesting and could be quite compelling.
Of curious note, Geoffrey Rush and Emily Watson are reuniting here after doing "The Book Thief" together.
The end of the road was Princeton, New Jersey, of all places on earth. What that man saw though his life and surroundings can hardly be guessed at. He reminds me a little of Davy Crockett, as played by Billy Bob Thornton, both aiming their fiddles at times of crises to create rational sound to drown the noise of the horde.
Looks like Ron Howard's revisiting A Beautiful Mind territory. Shame they couldn't have gotten a less safely predictable director on board but there's enough talent in front of the camera that it'll probably turn out okay. I wonder who will provide the score.
Ron Howard, eh? I for one was really pleased to hear he was going to do a movie about Nash, a Princeton alumni. Now, whenever I see Crowe do the spooked cookie, the only way is laugh. I assume Sylvia Nasar does as much without further thought or speculation regarding that particular movie. There were some moments that came out all right, just the majority did not. Jennifer Connelly was one of the better aspects of the production, for which she obtained public recognition.
Poor John and Alicia . . . may they RIP.
Einstein requires a certain sophisticated continental quality to pull it off, otherwise it's too bread an' butta.

FYI, Howard only directed the first episode. Well as far as I know, I'm up to episode 8. But yeah the direction at times is to flashy and "modern" for the subject matter. The series gets better with each episode. Though as I feared way to much time is spend on his love life.
