Einstein and Eddington (2008 TV Movie)
7/10
Lacks science details as not a documentary, Convincing performances

Planck: I have a question: what if God is going to say you are mistaken? Stop And Newton was right! .. Einstein : Then I would thank his god for his point of view and that we have agreed to defer. I would leave feeling sorry for God..

Can a force of gravity move faster than speed of light? Why orbit of mercury does not follow the Newtonian law? Starlight that bends and the space that curves were explained and defined by the greatest theories of all time.

One scientist's belief and the other's faith in that belief. A brilliant factual account of two greatest scientists who were almost outcasted for proving another greatest scientist's theory wrong amidst WWI. The pursuit of truth in science transcended the national boundaries, unaltered by war. Here when the greatest mind in the history of the mankind was trying to reveal the universal truth of the universe, some other brilliant minds were occupied in finding a way that would eventually help kill some 15000 in Ypres and later build the gas chambers!

Wished there was a mention of the observations of Taurus constellation conducted at Brazil by Andrew Commelin and Charles Davidson along with the same by Eddington. Some melodrama and does lack scientific details but again It is not a documentary. Convincing performances, uninterrupted flow.

'I can not conceive god with wills as we have Life after Death- neither can I conceive an individual who has survived his own physical death.' A great watch even for those not into science..
