Proof

It seems all the good movies
were waiting to get released
in this fall. Here is another
movie with strong
performances: 'Proof' based
on the Pulitzer Prize-winning
play by David Auburn is
poised to win the heart of all
serious movie-goers.

The storyine of 'Proof' follows
a devoted daughter (Gwyneth
Paltrow) who comes to terms
with the death of her father
(Anthony Hopkins) - a brilliant
mathematician whose genius
was crippled by mental instanity
- and is forced to face her own
long-harbored fears and emotions. She adjusts to his death with the help
of one of her father's former mathematical students (Jake Gyllenhaal)
who searches through her father's notebooks in the hope of discovering
a bit of his old brilliance. While coming to terms with the possibility that
his genius, which she was inherited, may come at a painful price, her
estranged sister (Hope Davis) arrives to help settle their father's affairs.

It is a compelling story of an enigmatic young woman haunted by her
father’s past and the shadow of her own future, exploring the links
between genius and madness, the tender relationships between fathers
and daughters and the nature of truth and family. As Catherine confronts
Hal’s affections and Claire’s overbearing plans for her life, she struggles
to solve the most perplexing problem of all: How much of her father’s
madness – or genius – will she inherit?

The film is directed by John Madden, the celebrated director of another
great movie: 'Shakespeare in Love'. The screenplay was written by David
Auburn and Rebecca Miller. The movie is rated PG-13.
