Madame Curie is one of the women I admire the most, because everything she accomplished not only as scientific but as a woman, as a child i always said that I wanted to be like her. This movie is a biopic of her life, directed by Marjane Satrapi and scripted by Jack Thorne. It starts right after when she moves from Poland to France to perceive her dream of studying. The movie is starred by Rosamund Pike, as Marie Curie. We have Sam Riley as Pierre Currie and Anja Taylor-Joy as Irene Curie, the daughter of both of them.

Madame Curie es una de las mujeres que más admiro, porque todo lo que logró no sólo como científica sino como mujer, de niña siempre decía que quería ser como ella. Esta película es un biopic de su vida, dirigida por Marjane Satrapi y con guión de Jack Thorne. Comienza justo después de que ella se traslade de Polonia a Francia para percibir su sueño de estudiar. La película está protagonizada por Rosamund Pike, como Marie Curie. Tenemos a Sam Riley como Pierre Currie y a Anja Taylor-Joy como Irene Curie, la hija de ambos.

What i did like about the movie: The interpretation of Rosamund Pike is outstanding, i think she nailed the personality Madame Curie's should have. A very strong, decided and perhaps a bit stubborn woman. Who struggled with the problems of being a woman who wanted to do something different back in the XX century, the script also emphasized in her love for her husband which i think was an accurate decision because it actually influenced her as a human and as a scientist. The film also show us flashbacks of her chilhood. Lastly, something very interesting and what i liked a lot from the film is that they also added scene of the bad things that were invented based on Madame Curies discoveries as the atomic bomb.

Lo que sí me gustó de la película: La interpretación de Rosamund Pike es sobresaliente, creo dio en el clavó con la personalidad que debió tener Madame Curie. Una mujer muy fuerte, decidida y quizás un poco testaruda. Que luchó con los problemas de ser una mujer que quería hacer algo diferente en el siglo XX, el guión también hizo hincapié en su amor por su marido, lo que creo que fue una decisión acertada porque realmente influyó en ella como ser humano y como científico. La película también nos muestra flashbacks de su infancia. Por último, algo muy interesante y que me gustó mucho de la película es que también añadieron escenas de las cosas malas que se inventaron a partir de los descubrimientos de Madame Curie como la bomba atómica.

What i didn't like: They add some weird gloomy filter to portrait Paris from the first decades of the XX century, and it just doesn't help the movie at all, it just make it dark. The movie also leads to some plots and substories that doesn't have any outcome or help its rhythm in any way.

Lo que no me gustó: le añadieron un filtro nublado/gelido a las secuencias para retratar el París de las primeras décadas del siglo XX, y no ayuda para nada a la película, sólo la hace oscura. La película también da lugar a algunas tramas y sub-historias que no tienen ningún desenlace ni ayudan a su ritmo de ninguna manera.

In conclusion, we get an amazing perfomance of Rosamund Pike very well deserved by Madame Curie but, the production of the movie leaves much to be desired. It's a movie worth to wacht tho, i think the story of such women as Madame Curie most be known by everyone, we have lots of things thanks to her scientific work. That's it for today, thanks for reading. Bye!

En conclusión, tenemos una increíble actuación de Rosamund Pike muy bien merecida por Madame Curie pero, la producción de la película deja mucho que desear. Es una película que vale la pena ver, creo que la historia de mujeres como Madame Curie debe ser conocida por todos, tenemos muchas cosas gracias a su trabajo científico. Esto es todo por hoy, gracias por leerme. Adiós!

    I have this movie on my to-watch list. Curie was such as impactful woman and I am happy to see this historic figure finally being portrayed on the screen. The main actress has done a great job in some of her other roles so that's another reason to check this film out. I understand the film isn't perfect but since I enjoy watching biographical films from time to time, this one could be a good choice.

    I consider Madam Curie as the greatest woman ever lived, for her courage, sacrifice and most importantly contribution to humanity in expense of her own life.

    However, she inspires me not as a woman, for being a man or a woman has no merit by itself, rather as a transcendental human being, a genius.

    I've been meaning to see this for a while and

    The movie also leads to some plots and substories that doesn't have any outcome or help its rhythm in any way.

    wouldn't really bother me.

    Thanks for the write up.
