Has anyone seen it? Is it good? I heard it was about a physicst or something.
A devoted daughter (Gwyneth Paltrow) comes to terms with the death of her father (Anthony Hopkins), a brilliant mathematician whose genius was crippled by mental insanity - and is forced to face her own long-harbored fears and emotions. She adjusts to his death with the help of one of her father's former mathematical students (Jake Gyllenhaal), who searches through her father's notebooks in the hope of discovering a bit of his old brilliance. While coming to terms with the possibility that his genius, which she has inherited, may come at a painful price, her sister (Hope Davis) arrives to help settle their father's affairs.
The movie "Proof" is a drama that explores the relationship between a mathematician named Robert and his daughter Catherine, who is also a brilliant mathematician. After Robert's death, Catherine must deal with her own mental health struggles and the possibility that she has inherited her father's genius.
No, "Proof" is not based on a true story. It is a fictional story written by playwright David Auburn and adapted into a film by director John Madden.
The main characters in "Proof" are mathematicians, not physicists. The movie explores themes of mathematics, logic, and mental illness, but does not focus on physics or physicists.
The movie "Proof" stars Gwyneth Paltrow as Catherine, Anthony Hopkins as Robert, and Jake Gyllenhaal as Hal. The film also features Hope Davis as Claire, Catherine's sister, and Danny McCarthy as a graduate student named Chet.
Some key themes in "Proof" include the relationship between genius and mental illness, the complicated dynamics of family and love, and the search for truth and proof in both mathematics and personal relationships.
