Flash of Genius (how do you protect a good idea?)

[TD94S]

Such a good movie.

[massivecrown]

"It's just a windshield wiper. To YOU maybe, to ME it's the Mona Lisa...". Such a powerful comeback! :)

@justwantyoutoseeme an idea worth millions

[PlanesofExistence]

this movie was great. you could really feel the characters pain from the uncredited theft of his invention. you saw how distraught the character was, and you were were enveloped in the repercussion of his choices both good and bad. like loosing his wife, when he chose recognition and money instead of his wife. when he won his case it really made you feel happy, the best part when he looks at his reflection. you can see hes proud.

[Chrono348]

After reading many posts here you should all do more research on the subject before you post things bashing only Ford for this. Apparently Mercedes Benz, Honda, Toyota, Chrysler, GM, Etc. Nearly every automotive company stole his Idea, and he had lawsuits standing against each company, but the only two companies that had to pay money to him were Ford Motor company and Chrysler. The other lawsuits were thrown out of court due to Age and hassle, and missing paperwork filing over the years.

[RanaSpot]

If every one will do what he did, I think no one will dare to steal.

[deestilo]

if everyone do what he did,...... they still takes away your idea, while burning your house, shooting your dog, spit on your grave....... and doing it all with a courtesy smile.

[slbiggs36]

If you're not rich or connected when you have a good idea, someone else gets it. That's the unwritten American law.

[stillwaterseven]

Truer words have never been spoken.

[ddreamax]

A corporation trying to take credit for one man's work. For what, to build up that aura of company greatness, to attract dollars and intimidate the competition.

[thundakat29]

He should've spoken to a lawyer first. Then maybe he wouldn't have rushed to sell something that he hadn't even taken steps to patent yet. It's sad that the shit happened. But he gave up his rights under the law.

[lusulpher]

Ignorance of the law is a nice concept, for a tyrant...

Especially when they don't educate people in schools about important laws, like property and patents. Companies/family/strangers see an opportunity to rip off talented people and they TAKE IT.

Makes you question Humanity's moral fibre, and so this movie is completely valid.

Can't call yourself a man until you STAND on 2 feet anyway. Unfortunately, some men happen to have tails.

[Evulmeh]

A company cannot have Human morale, that's why they do these things. I saw a movie few weeks ago called 'the Corporation' and it's exactly on what's wrong with corporations being private entities.

[illmagnified]

i saw that video to. Corporations are represented like people, its purposely done this way. Its crazy how sneaky people have become.

[JustADoof]

as long as she's safe in harbor springs, not something alan alda takes on lightly, my friend.

[JustADoof]

[mutulus]

I don't mean to be a wet blankt or a contrarian, but isn't this basically just a binary counter? I made one of those in college without instruction (or even an idea of one) and just messing around.

[Gwhitebeard]

THe movie is Bull$hit. FORD was first. I remember riding in a 1966 comet cyclone 390 CI 4 speed with intermittent wipers. THis base part number 17C476 survives to this day as an intermittent wiper control module!!

[actorma]

Which is why Ford paid him $30 million. Yeah right. They would NOT pay if they built it first.

[freeyourmindusa]

i have proof we are robot slaves. look at pc every year they come out with better ones the car has never changed . look up fuel cell cars for proof i made fuel cell cars.

[TheNewYorkTony]

looks great

[animlnitr8]

Ford sucks. I like how they try to say they are better than Honda and Toyota too...HAHA...I'd still never buy a Ford! The only way they can come up with anything is to steal it from someone else...and they still make a crappy product!

[EditorLarenZ]

Should of sold the Mona Lisa for $30 million and asked if they could say that he made it.

[CLoLopez1]

sounds like fun

[brillantandfantastic]

i have to see this!!

[ycity202]

[112namrepus]

They support gays too. So go figure!

[rockstar78852]

Typical oppressive rhetoric from dying breed of armchair bigot WASPS

[JaiPapa]

Kick Ford's ass!
