The film was definitely not suited to my taste. Seriously. I can’t stand bad acting. It’s bad acting for me anyway, don’t judge me. I was destined to live in another era, that’s all. It was entertaining because there were some funny statements that I couldn’t remember, but they were funny if somebody were to overhear you say it in today’s time, but it was pretty serious during theirs. I couldn’t remember, sorry. It was also interesting, since during their time, they were already thinking of something like that, which for me, was actually commendable. While it was actually interesting that they were already thinking of something like that, the film projected a certain, not really cute, image of scientists during that period. They were generically viewed as “mad” scientists, which was not a very cute stereotype. They were viewed as madmen because they have this urge to create something that was controversial, which was in Galileo’s case was called heresy, and the urge to use animals in their experiments. Animals would’ve been fine if there were no animal rights advocates, but considering the code of ethics of the scientific community, going for humans is just too far. That’s why it was a play on morality. It wasn’t moral (I don’t know by whose standards) to turn humans (interestingly, himself) into guinea pigs. The choice was between advancement and morality. Funnily, people readily choose morality. I seriously pray for a change in the Zeitgeist. Anyway, the people of the 1950s had wild imaginations and were aspiring for change and advancement, but they are also hindered themselves with moral fences that keep them from being free to actually develop and implement their dreams. Today, these moral constraints still choke and kill brilliant ideas, but it’s not like we can do anything…
