The Movie "Proof"

[andyfox]

Wondering what you math guys thought of the movie, "Proof." Saw it yesterday, and while I admired what I thought was fine acting by all four lead players, it was kind of talky, which I suppose is to be expected of a play made into a movie essentially by the playwright.

Did it speak to any of you about the relationship between genius and madness, or about the conflict between being selfish and doing the right thing? Did the world of high falootin' math seem realistic? Any other comments?

Thanks.
