This is an interesting - although appropriate - website to post a review of TCW! This part of the article talks about the movie itself. I'm wondering how they saw it if it hasn't been released.
The rivalry between the two great inventors has always captured our interest, especially on film. The latest offering, The Current War (a 2017 historical drama) is an interesting take on the electricity story. In the movie, the enigmatic Benedict Cumberbatch plays Edison, while American actor Michael Shannon plays Westinghouse.
Cumberbatch’s feisty personality perfectly evokes what must have been Edison’s mercurial and intense personality. Meanwhile, Shannon does justice to Westinghouse’s more reserved persona. Their performances profoundly capture the intense rivalry between the two men. As we look back to historical records and film interpretations of the electricity war, we invariably arrive at one important conclusion: both men will forever be remembered for their revolutionary contributions to our modern culture.
“If someday they say of me that in my work I have contributed something to the welfare and happiness of my fellow man, I shall be satisfied". - George Westinghouse
"I have not failed. I’ve just found 10,000 ways that won’t work.” – Thomas A. Edison
