I really did enjoy the movie Edison the Man. I didn’t think i was going to enjoy it because it was an old black and white movie. But nonetheless it was enjoyable.The movie portrayed Edison as a family man who loved and spent time with his wife and kids, when in reality he was a terrible father and husband. Even though he married his wife, his true love forever would be inventing things.They also added humor Edison’s dialogues which i thought was weird because i thought Edison was a very serious man.The movie was kind of like CSI in the fact that they showed his spontaneous inventions done in days or months were as it actually to years to complete it.Plus they also showed that most of Edison’s inventions were from mistakes that he came at during the experiments when in reality he had plans and ideas about it and processed it carefully.The movie did show Edison as a man who cared for his fellow scientists like his own family. This is something that’s actually true because during the war between the currents Edison tested on dogs to prove that Westinghouse was wrong. During this entire time, his fellow scientist helped without saying or advising him against it because Edison was someone who saved them and now it kind of like they were showing their gratefulness by being loyal to him.
