Reaction Paper On The Man Who Knew Infinity

The movie The Man who Knew Infinity provides entertainment through intellectual mathematics, historical and cultural conflicts, and emotional relationships while also being slow with abstract math concepts. It brings awareness to Ramanujan's genius as a mathematician on par with Einstein but less known. The biography and drama capture the life and friendship between Ramanujan and his mentor Hardy, with a great story that fully engaged the viewer.

Reaction Paper on

The Man who Knew Infinity


(Reaksyon sa the man who knew infinity)

First of all, I thought it was excellent. Why? It combines various levels


of entertainment: the intellectual mathematics involved and the realities
of academic competition; the historical and cultural conflicts between
Indian and English traditions, attitudes, biases, and beliefs; the
emotional love/friendship between men, between men and women, and
between children and parents; and inhumanity towards other humans:
warmongers vs. pacifists, religious vs. non-religious, individuals vs.
groups, misunderstandings and lack of emotional intelligence in so many
ways.
But the problem with this movie is that not a lot happens. And it's very
slow. The maths is too abstract for the average viewer to appreciate the
ground breaking nature of S. Ramanujan's work. The best thing about
the movie is that it brings to the modern audience an awareness of the
genius of Ramanujan - who was apparently every bit Einstein's equal or
better, but remains basically unknown outside of maths academia. But it
was worth the watch. It was a great biography and drama on the life and
academic career of the pioneer Indian mathematician, Srinivasa
Ramanujan, and his friendship with his mentor, Professor G.H. Hardy. It
was a great movie to watch, for me it was that great that I was focused, I
was dragged as if I were dragged into the movie, it has a great story so it
was worth it.
