Conference - Between Genius and lnsanity

Abstract

This brief communication aims to allude to how Hollywood has had reflected genius to the silver screen by tracking several remarkable productions and characters retrospectively. These heroes and heroines are neither philosophers, and praise and poetry authors nor those featuring versions of Frankenstein and absent minded or nutty professors (i.e. casted by Jerry Lewis). The selected figures are among those like the schizophrenic mathematician John Nash. Several other scient ists who had been on the hot thin line between genius and insanity and who had been attributed to chemistry and "atomic power" will also be mentioned.
