Ultimately this film made me sad. It portrayed mathematicians as people only engaged by numbers. It was telling that at the beginning Hardy said it was the only romantic encounter of his life. Also the message of 'better to be an FRS'. No no no! I felt so sorry for Ramanujan's beautiful wife. Glad that he returned to India to spend his last year with her. It rescued the claustrophobic atmosphere. Casual racism by English soldiers. Long forgotten. Only remembered for their shameful disrespect.
