Orson Welles & Nikola Tesla - The Creative Process

In memory of Nikola Tesla 1856 - 1943, and his contribution to science.

This rare film stars Orson Welles and features a dramatic recreation of a meeting between Nikola Tesla, Industrialist J.P. Morgan and Thomas Edison, that would decide the fate and future of today's Electric Power Industry in America and the world.

Nikola Tesla is regarded as one of the most important inventors in history. He changed the world with the invention of the AC (alternating current) induction motor, making the universal transmission and distribution of electricity possible.
So why is he virtually unknown to the general public?
Nikola Tesla's contributions to science include the fields of Robotics, Ballistics, Computer Science, Nuclear Physics, and Theoretical Physics. In 1943, the Supreme Court of the United States credited him as being the inventor of the Radio. But what happened to Tesla? See the Movie! Now on DVD, Catalog #U662. Visit us online: www.UFOTV.com

That is Petar Bozovic. A veeeery good Serbian (Montenegrian) actor. I think he was a bit scared here because of the presence of Orson Welles. :-)

That opening shot uses extremely deep focus, most probably as a tribute to Welles' deep focus directing style.

Orson Welles - Always. I really wish Spielberg had funded him for his later projects before his untimely death. At least it was made up with the likes of War of The Worlds. I hope it won't be to long before an autobiography is greenlit about the Great Man himself. RIP - 1915 - 1985, you are Missed Dearly!

Tesla was working in Budapest (for Budapest telephone Exchange) when he had his induciotn motor 'revelation'. It was in a park in Hungary, as the big man says. He'd been reciting some of Goethe's Faust by memory when the idea came. Birthplace is Smiljan near Gospic. Looks like a well made film :)

[@LtDanw]

tesla is a genius! and wells is impressive as always!

[@Squemby]

holy shit....that was outstanding

[@AlienRelics]

This movie must have gotten no advertising or press, because if I'd have known about it, I'd have watched it then!

[@kidcalabria]

Thanks for posting this. I was wondering, what's the name of the film? Somebody said to me the other day that there's a film about Tesla with David Bowie playing him. It's obvious that he never got the recognition he deserves. That was a great clip, thanks also to Orson Welles, as much of a genius as Tesla was.

[@Jrnen2darkness]

Orson was on I Love Lucy a long time ago.

[@AlienRelics]

Edison didn't like it only because it wasn't his idea/patent. So he couldn't profit off of it. Microsoft Press published some books on the Amiga computer, from reading them it was clear that Amigas were the Next Great Thing. But naturally they pushed their own operating system once they wrote MS Windows.

[@califgirl101]

How incredible was that! What movie was this? Was this indeed Orson Welles's last movie? Thanks again for this video. :)

[@mscir]

Really Cool... Thanks!

[@ClueSign]

There have been a bunch a bios out that sought to correct the bad rap he got in history and set the record straight about the wars for domination of the US power grid. The first one I remember reading was in the early 80s when I was quite young - turned me on to the whole epic. The other day I was walking along 34th St in NYC and passed in front of a building with a plaque commemorating his life.

[@bradduncan]

that was great thanks!

[@EGarrett01]

The actor playing Edison isn't nearly as good as the one playing Tesla. There's nothing at all that suggests Edison's unique personality or intelligence in that actor's performance.

[@BerryTheBnnuy]

They were both absolute geniuses, but Edison was... childish when it came to Tesla... He actually invented the electric chair as a means of condemning AC in the eyes of the public. The general idea was "See? We can use AC to fairly easily kill a person. Do you really want that in your house?"

[@Macresarf1]

Excellent!

[@kentallard8852]

No, plenty more after this one. Still had 5 more years in him, check his imdb profile.

[@cyphi1]

those who judge should prepare to judge themselves

[@harriter88]

Tesla:Inspiration-Conciousness-Intution-Female Creation(The Moon-Mother Earth Matrix)Genius vs.Tommy & Jp:Persperation-Ego-Reason-Intellect-control-Male-Solar-Saturnian(the Sun cult Matrix)Genius.The Key?Androgeny,the Balance of the two,so duality becomes oneness.

[@Milos89kv]

torcida quote : "Tesla has nothing to do with the serbians nowdays." Yes, because he is dead. And unlike Croatians we have famous scientists. If there wasn't Tesla world today wouldn't look as it looks now. He was the greatest scientist of all times.

[@JayKhwaja]

I was actually refering to Orson Welles.

[@kentallard8852]

no, this is from about 1980

[@Yesquiet]

vr gd thanks

[@speedcrayzy]

how about all the fancy libraries he bilt to rember him by?

[@geandily]

What a strange thing to be opinionated about

[@tigno323]

WOW HOLY SH*** THATS THE REAL TESLA

[@opasnajebac]

GOD BLESS MY FELLOW GENIUS SERBIAN!

[@geandily]

I wish I could have that kind of faith in the government :\

[@omsrswt]

I'm sorry - what exactly do you have against the Serbian people?

[@Erudecorp]

Damn you, invention thieves! I should have met Tessy, not Eddy, in Terranigma. Expand the "criticism" section of Edison's wikipedia page to make him look like the slothful, jealous phony he was.
