what if marylin monroe and albert einstein and joe dimaggio and senator mccarthy be to come together in a mind bend evening of relativity . this delightful roman à clef never use the actual name of the character it so thinly veil and scathingly expose not only for the individual they must have be and but also for what they come to represent over time . if you be confuse by allegory and or if you like your movie serve up predigested and mushy and you would not like this film . it be a demand opus that reward on many level the viewer with the intelligence to appreciate it . drop and for the time be and the rigorous avoidance of use the real name of the character and we see einstein and about to deliver a pacifist speech to a united nation hell bent for nuke and be visit by marylin monroe and after film the notorious seven year itch scene that some say lead to the end of her marriage with joe dimaggio . they have a lovely interplay in which einstein stumble with suitable professorial clumsiness around the innocence of perhaps the great sex symbol of modern time . enter senator mccarthy who think einstein be a red . he be determine to extract einstein assurance that he will support the activity of the house unamerican activity committee while deliver the ultimate weapon in the name of peace . add joe and a surprisingly fragile and vulnerable person perhaps not perfectly cast a gary busey and who hat marylin exhibitionism and believe einstein have become her lover and even though marylin only want to show einstein that she understand the special theory of relativity . but there more . just like each of u and these character have their deepest fear and which they reveal one by one in haunt flashback . it be these weakness and ultimately and that lend humanity to figure we can not help but see almost exclusively in the abstract today . finally and we see the shock terror of einstein vision and and the statement of the movie become clear . it be a powerful and memorable moment . insignificance be one of my top five movie of all time . it be utterly amazing .
