Moviewise | The 4 Best Movies About Creative Genius @Moviewise | Uploaded January 2022 | Updated October 2024, 1 hour ago.
How can directors and screenwriters show that a character is a genius of amazing creativity? Most times, they can't and we get scenes of characters randomly doing outstanding feats and that is all. Fortunately, there exist at least four films that are not satisfied with the bare minimum and go far and beyond to show us how differently a brilliant mind thinks and sees the world.
Scott Frank's "The Queen's Gambit" manifests Beth Harmon's astounding chess talent through a visually unique style.
Ron Howard's "A Beautiful Mind" gives us John Nash's brilliance by making us see the world through his eyes and showing how numbers and letters are actually patterns holding secrets to be discovered. On the flip side, see how a deleted scene completely fails at doing the same.
Paul Schrader's "Mishima: A Life in Four Chapters" is a most unusual biographical film, presenting it's subject's life alongside his novels, revealing how only that insane creative life could produce such works.
Peter Greenaway's "Prospero's Books" is overwhelming creativity (or madness?) unleashed! What else can be said? Nothing on Earth can prepare you for this film.
Also find out how minimalist music is the best representation of creative genius.
