Just watched an excellent movie: The Man Who Knew Infinity
It is the story of brilliant Indian mathematician, Ramanujan (played by Dev Patel). It is very well acted by both Jeremy Irons who plays his mentor, Professor Harding. Yes, there is a bit of cliche here with the tough professor and pupil. But it does tie together nicely. It is a captivating movie and highly worthwhile and thought provoking. It is the idea of some people like Ramanujan being able intuit solutions to difficult mathematical problems without going through the intervening steps.
The only thing I don't like is the silly title which is never tied to anything in the movie or the story.
Highly Recommended. It is a free on-demand movie as of this writing on premium cable channel.
