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!

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.

5.0 out of 5 stars An excellent telling of this amazing scientist's story, September 7, 2002

By	R. Plemmons "deltadad" (Texas, United States) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This review is from: Story of Louis Pasteur [VHS] (VHS Tape)

An entertaining and reasonably accurate depiction of the triumph of Louis Pasteur over the entrenched naysayers in the French medical establishment of the day. The movie covers his support of the germ theory of disease and early efforts at antisepsis, but mostly focuses on his development of vaccines for anthrax and rabies. I can't think of another person in the history of biology and medicine who had a greater impact upon the human condition than this man. He laid the groundwork for modern microbiology as well as scientific method. This is a really entertaining movie that has you rooting for the focused and determined Pasteur through all of the ridicule and derision of the medical "luminaries" of 19th century France. A great movie for anyone with an interest in microbiology, medicine, or epidemiology, but just a terrific story for everyone.
