Movie Reviews of Nikola Tesla: The Genius Who Lit the World
Movie Review: Good 60 min summary of Nikola Tesla's Accomplishments
Summary: 5 Stars
I was pleasently surprised to find that the story of Nikola Tesla is presented rather well. Some reviews take a rather critical poke at the quality of the video; I was more interested in the educational value. The video is clearly not a made for TV but so what? For the money, one gets a quick historical background on Tesla's family and family life in old Yugolslavia (Serbia in particular with mention of Hungary, and Germany), an excellent tour of the Tesla Musium in Belgrade with some intereting demonstrations of Tesla's inventions. A great deal of the film deals with Tesla's history with Edison, J.P. Morgan, and others as he carried out and perfected ideas he generated through out his life; from childhood (Niagra Falls electicity generation dream), to a never completed tower to wirelessly distribute power and communications world-wide (Wardenclyffe Tower). I would have like to hear more in depth on Tesla's theories (Tesla frequency, for example), but there are plenty of good books to follow up with. As mentioned, quality of the film overall is not perfect, but the ideas, the message, and the overview of Tesla's lie is why I purchased the video, not for the entertainment value. You will not be an expert on Tesla after viewing this video, but if you are new to the his Tesla's history, you should at least have a good appreciation for his accomplishments after viewing the video.
Summary of Nikola Tesla: The Genius Who Lit the World
This program reveals the discoveries of a forgotten genius, many of which went virtually unnoticed for nearly a century. Nikola Tesla is considered the father of our modern technological age and one of the most mysterious and controversial scientists in history. How did this obscure visionary from what is now Yugoslavia lay the foundation for modern communications and energy research? Nikola Tesla?s contributions to science and technology include the invention of radio, television, radio-astronomy, remote control and robotics, radar, medical x-ray and the wireless transmission of electricity. Many of Nikola Tesla?s inventions were and in some cases still are considered a little too revolutionary by government agencies and the power brokers of the time and are discussed in detail in this program.Encyclopedia Britannica lists Nikola Tesla as one of the top ten most fascinating people in history. So why is he virtually unknown to the general public? This program is a penetrating study of the life and mind of a "scientific superman" who, against all odds, dedicated his life to the task of designing and improving technology for the service and advancement of humanity.
