So I go into the movie knowing nothing about mathematician Srinivasa Ramanujan, but I did come out finding the man quite impressive
You can't help but to love a story about a poor kid from India who discovers on his own that when it comes to math, no mind is more creative than his. The movie follows his attempts to prove this to the world which of course is met with the stereotypical challenge of convincing a room of old white men who think they are the center of the universe that they were wrong. in Ramanujan's case, one of those white men G.H. Hardy, was in his corner, and a lot of the movie was about their friendship based on mutual respect. I can appreciate the struggle Ramanujan had to got through.
I also like Jeremy Irons in the role of G.H. Hardy. Irons has a very appealing charm to him. Not sure how I feel about Dev Patel. I felt that I did not get enough from him in the story, considering he is the center of attention. May not have been all his fault. The narrative was not too exciting, which may have had a lot to do with the amount of material of the short period of time it goes though.
But overall it is a pretty uplifting story, which I liked.
