Madame Curie

The film is something of a Hollywood version of her life, including the glamour of the star, but found it charming. One footnote: her younger daughter, who wrote a biography that inspired the film, lived into the 21st Century. The basic honoring of science and the joint effort by the Curies is an important theme, including in these times. I look with a sense of unbelief as things like sports seasons are suspended. It has been noted that the societal unrest we are seeing perhaps was last seen over a hundred years ago with the influenza outbreak. I don't know what it will wrought. I'm in the midst of history. Again. Ugh.
