"Genius: Einstein" What we know about the real man behind a privileged mind...[ENG/ESP]

Just imagine living in the time of a genius. And I don't mean the lightness with which that word is used in our modern day driven by continuous stimuli.... In fact, imagine that for more than 250 years, truths such as the travel of light or the understanding of concepts such as gravity (as a force of nature) added to a universal concession of time, are part of a rule that admits no exceptions... Yes, I know, it's a bit complicated to compensate well... But to give you an idea, just think about what would happen if a human being proved what dark matter is, or proved the existence of string theory... Quite simply, it would change everything...

In Genius, a 10-episode miniseries enhanced by National Geographic and available on Disney's Streaming service, in its first season released to the public in April 2017, the life behind the icon, the figure; the mind... The man, Albert, but also Einstein... A restless being, cancellable in today's terms and controversial in many, many aspects. Without problems to be a stateless person but incapable of being a devoted father or of fulfilling the social expectations typical of his time; and which even today continue to persist.

Einstein in Genius is an inevitable accumulation of simply brilliant curiosity and questioning. It is a reflection of a mind unable to fit into the German authoritarianism of the time and with no link to the revanchist, warmongering and vengeful characteristics of his Zeitgeist. But, of course, no mortal who has lived for the Sun has ever been perfect.... In fact, from the very first chapter we will notice that we are talking about a human being and not about a myth that does not accept notes and questions. Nobody has ever been perfect, and Einstein is no exception to that golden rule.

Amazingly, in the 21st century, with a vibrant culture of cancellation, where it is easier to point to a place than to compensate for it and place it in its rightful place, ‘Genius’ has not only stood the test of time (it is going on 10 years since it was released to the public), it has also stood the test of time. Abandonment, cruelty, indifference, a certain intellectual exploitation, but above all a great deal of the ultra-conservative era of the early 20th century can be witnessed in this kind of miniseries. In fact, the people who have seen it and whom I have asked have told me that watching a production that shows the shadows and lights of a complex, transcendental and brilliant character gives the audience the right perspective. It nurtures a more complete vision of everything that happened in the life of that being in his time....

And it is that the same mind that was able to create a theoretical-practical statement demonstrating the existence of molecules, followed by the importance of the spatio-temporal fabric of the universe and the unmistakable demonstration that Newton was wrong; is also the same person who could not be married for 2 complete marriages... The one who benefited from the circumstances of having his first wife in academia. And who was instrumental in guiding him and helping him inch by inch to become what he ended up being but who to this day few people could remember her name (Mileva Maric).... A perfect balance between a biopic with dramatic and epic tones and a sample of the humanities behind the genius of geniuses... I insist, no one is perfect and no one will ever be perfect. I recommend that you give it a chance and watch this miniseries.
