It's true, there have been many fantastic scientific discoveries and inventions which have been suppressed by world corporate interests, Wall Street, and Big Oil, in the name of progress, but the real name is greed.
This film dares to speak out about those injustices and show how Tesla was not only a forgotten genius, but a martyr for the cause of science vs. industry.
There is a rather somber tone all throughout this movie, exaggerated even more by the somber synth music score, which is a deliberate device on the part of the director to make this film as a memorial for Nikola Tesla.
In a perfect world, Tesla would have led the way for the glorious technological future predicted by scientists and science fiction writers, but in the real world, we have the status quo maintained by the wealthy industrialists who control the masses and are the power brokers who manipulate world bankers, politicians and entire governments.
A case in point: the destruction and burial of the EV1 electric car by its own manufacturer, General Motors, in 2003, precisely 100 years after Nikola Tesla developed free electrical energy and predicted a world of electric vehicles in a century of progress. He was an idealist living in a world of greedy opportunists.
As P.T. Barnum said so eloquently, "There's a sucker born every minute", and that sucker is Mr. and Mrs. John Q. Smith from Anytown, USA, expecting corporations and the government to give them the free and easy life once promised to us by visionary science fiction writers, but denied to them by greedy executives, politicians and bureaucrats.
This is why our world has not changed much since the 1950s. Oh, the technological toys have become far more advanced in the fields of computers and electronics, but the infrastructure we live in has remained virtually unchanged.
