Pionierin. Genie. Rebellin.
Die Entdeckungen und Forschungen der polnischen Chemikerin und Physikerin Marie Curie in Frankreich haben bis heute unweigerliche Auswirkungen auf den Alltag der Menschen. Die visionäre Pionierin und zweifache Nobelpreisträgerin hatte aufgrund ihres Geschlechts zeit ihres Lebens mit Widerständen in der männlich dominierten Wissenschaftswelt zu kämpfen. Ihre ausländische Herkunft machte sie derweil zur Zielscheibe der französischen Presse. Eine wichtige Stütze fand sie nur in ihrem Ehemann und Forschungspartner Pierre, der Liebe ihres Lebens. Neben dem Sexismus ihrer Zeit kämpft Curie dabei auch mit dem Wissen darum, was ihre Entdeckung von Polonium und Radium für die Zukunft der Menschheit bedeuten könnte – neben Fortschritt lauert in der von ihr selbst so benannten Radioaktivität auch Gefahr, denn auch die Gesundheit von Curie ist bereits angeschlagen …

_Radioactive_ is set at the turn of the 19th century and, judging from the amount of melodrama, this was also when the film was made. I only hope the Marie Curie who discovered two scientific elements and won two Nobel prizes was less hysterical and given to histrionics than the poor woman portrayed in this film by the most dangerous kind of actor: the ones with award fever. I would've liked to write a glowing review of _Radioactive_, but sadly it's short a few basic elements that would allow it to chart, no matter how periodically.
I believe this would have been better as a limited 6hr series. That would have given us a more detailed more interesting insight into the woman and her life. But as it is the movie rushed over many events in her life and thus I feel it just kind of mudied the movie. But it was certainly interesting. I did learn a bit more about Madame Curie.
It seemed to be done from a male pov, simplifying her life to the disasters that happens in the future and her love life ruining her reputation...it could have been so much better ... She deserves a well-written story. Amazing actress but poor story-telling execution.
Pretty solid movie, mostly due to lead actor and actress being phenomenally casted with a great performance. I expected more out of this movie coming from explaining more about her accomplishments in detail. But although the plot development was easy to follow, and it was an entertaining watch and emotional watch it definitely seemed like it was in fast-forward and glazing over mode the whole movie. It follows the scientific accomplishments and personal issues with the famous Madame Keery. And how her accomplishments were looked over because she is a woman. However, one great thing about this movie was the flashbacks and flash forwards of how radioactivity has affected the world and how big of an accomplishment hers is.
Seems like they tried to cram a bunch into a movie run time. And a lot of focus was put on the bad things caused by radiation and giving very little time to the good that had come from it.
