5.0 out of 5 stars An amazing story about a towering figure in history!, December 14, 2002
By James McComb (Thousand Oaks, CA USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Story of Louis Pasteur [VHS] (VHS Tape)
This movie not only powerfully tells the story of one of the greatest minds in human history, but of the ordeals of one of history's greatest human spirits. The Story of Louis Pasteur didn't just teach me about Pasteur's brilliant insights and scientific accomplishments - it portrayed the incredible drama of a man who doggedly fought for truth and the relief of human suffering against incredible opposition, ridicule, and derision. Einstein said that "great spirits have always encountered violent opposition from men with mediocre minds" and no truer words could be spoken about Pasteur and his career. His bravery and self-sacrifice as portrayed in this classic movie could not be more poignant or inspirational. A must see for everyone!

4.0 out of 5 stars Fighting The Establishment, March 23, 2002
This review is from: Story of Louis Pasteur [VHS] (VHS Tape)
Paul Muni stars in another one of his famous biographical roles, this time as scientist Louis Pasteur. Pasteur became famous for his involvement, in among other things, demanding that doctors sterilize their instruments and wash their hands, in finding a vaccine for anthrax, and developing a treatment for rabies. In this film, we see how Pasteur struggled not only with the science behind these issues, but also with the medical establishment that did not want to give credit to a mere scientist. Muni is very good in the title role, impatient, demanding, wise, and impassioned at various moments. The screenplay manages to take a topic that could have easily been made boring (a scientist staring into a microscope looking for germs) and makes it great entertainment instead.

5.0 out of 5 stars Motivation to Learn!, July 22, 2000
By Jennifer Eddins (Cedar City, UT) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Story of Louis Pasteur [VHS] (VHS Tape)
The Story of Louis Pasteur is an excellent movie. At first, I didn't know if I wanted to see it because it was in black and white, and I had stereotyped all black and white movies into the "boring" category. However, after seeing the movie, I feel so good about it that I want to add it to my movie collection. Louis Pasteur was a remarkable man, and his quest for knowledge to benefit people and not for monetary profit excited me and helped me feel grateful for the blessings I have (many of which can be attributed to him). He pursued knowledge and stuck by that knowledge even in the face of bitter opposition from his colleagues in science and medicine. I was so motivated by this movie, that I didn't just sit there and think, "Oh, what a nice movie," but I really wanted to learn worthwhile things, too. This is the kind of movie that I want my children to see and learn from. Louis Pasteur is truly a role model.
