Young
Einstein Young Einstein tells the story of young Albert Einstein with a few changes. For example, instead of Einstein being born Germany, he was born and grew up in Tasmania. The young Albert Einstein (Yahoo Serious) splits the atom to make the world's first bubbled beer and treks the vast Australian continent (with an animal appearing in virtually every scene). Einstein falls in love with Marie Curie - the world's most intelligent girl, formulates E=mc2, invents the world's first surfboard, invents the electric guitar and uses his greatest discovery - Rock and Roll, to save the planet from the atomic destruction that his revolutionary theories inadvertently caused. Young Einstein is said to be "dedicated to a genius, a rebel, a pacifist, an eccentric with a clowning sense of humour who once remarked about his own theories "...I never thought that others would take them so much more seriously than I did...". Young Einstein was not a great film. It wasn't even a very good film. It was; however, a very unique film, and it was a pioneering film. The idea of taking the stories of the world's icons, altering them, and then reconstituting them into something new had never been done before. It was a concept that laid the groundwork for Baz Luhrmann to do something similar in Moulin Rouge (2001). Likewise, by being so far outside the square, Young Einstein encouraged other Australian directors to not only break the boundaries, by exist into a completely different orbit. Again, the work of Baz Luhrmann seems to have been able to take the spirit and make it succesful.
