The Man Who Knew Infinity

https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0787524/

An unusual topic for a film but exceedingly well done. It is about the Indian mathematician Srinivasa Ramanujan. The film stars Jeremey Irons among others. It is on Tubi among other places. I quite enjoyed it.

Certifiable member of the gun toting, septuagenarian, bucket list workin', crazed retiree, bald is beautiful club!

I didn't know this had been made into a film. I will let my older son know, he's the math Ph.D.

It is excellent.

^ ^ ^ ^ Yes, excellent.

Most of the film was shot on location at the real Trinity College, Cambridge. Among many other things, graduates have been awarded 32 Nobel Prizes -- more than all but six countries.
