The life of a genius.
jeremiah5916 January 2012
Beautiful documentary about the life of Nikola Tesla.

Covers a period from his birth to his death.

His childhood, education, jobs in Hungary and Paris, and finally his emigration to the USA.

Briefly covers his career in the USA, business relations, his patents, his life in the USA until death in 1943.

With inspired narration by Rade Serbedzija.

The narration is entirely quoted from Tesla's own autobiography.

With a little known details from his life and his personal belongings from the Tesla's museum in Belgrade.

We can hear the authentic farewell speech on Tesla's funeral and his last wish - the song "Tamo daleko" performed by violinist Zlatko Balokovic.

Produced by Croatian TV (HTV).

The shocking truth about
Bernie444415 February 2024
This is an excellent documentary on Nikola Tesla. It runs pretty much chronologically without a lot of back and forth in time annoying sound bites.

Some of the documentaries are the first person with Stacy Keach as the voice of Nikola Tesla. Elisabeth Noone is the narrator.

We learn how his life is intermixed with Mark Twain, William K. Vanderbilt, J. P. Morgan, Westinghouse, Thomas Edison, and Guglielmo Marconi.

The actual technical side is held down as it is a Nikola Tesla biography, not a technical how-to. One the note, you can tell that this documentary is a tad dated as they have a fascination with the strategic defense initiative.

In any event, it is good to know more about Tesla and his part in history.
