A Wittgenstein biopic with pic related would literally be the greatest movie of all time
>born into the 2nd richest familiy in the Austrian-Hungary empire
>childhood spent meeting legendary politicians, businesspeople, musicians and artists in the late 19th century/early 20th century - a period that is extremely interesting and impactful but not touched upon enough in movies
>met legendary philosopher Bertrand Russell
>Russell said "prove to me you are smart, write me an essay by tomorrow morning"
>Wittgenstein meets him the next day, Russell reads the first sentence and says "you are the smartest person i have ever met"
>WW1 starts and Wittgenstein enlists, and is actually a great soldier
>Wittgenstein is captured and is a POW
>while held captive, he writes one of the most important philosophical works of all time, Tractatus Logico-Philosophicus
>he quickly rises as one of the most brilliant human beings in the world
>his next work, Philosophical Investigations, is almost a complete 180 compared to his first work (from technical perspective, not quality), and the philosophy community is in shambles
This would win literally every Oscar
