@kdreamland education minister Michelle Rhee and mayor Kevin Johnson NFL got married in sacramento california, yeah americans dont know how to teach Dark Matter or Meteors for that matter
And yes I know this is based (loosely) on actual events. I didn't say it was a "bad" movie. But murder, even of asshats like that professor and that kissass "Lauwrence", is never beautiful to me.
This movie is atrocious! It portrays American professors as jealous, racist egomaniacs and the foreign Chinese student as an innocent, loving, nonmisogynist, brilliant sweetie pie who cracked under understandable pressure. But that is not what happened! Gang Lu's dissertation was boring. His classmate's dissertation was more interesting and noteworthy. Lu was the mediocre, jealous egomaniac! Shame to Sundance for producing this ridiculous film.
This is BS! The real Gang Wu shot faculty, students and a couple of female office administrators cause he didn't win a $1000 award that went to another student! He was awarded his Ph.D and had graduated already. He was a psycho!
@matterh1 If you refer to the character's theory in the film, and roughly 90% of the mass of the universe is thought to be contained in "dark matter," the composition and state of which are unknown, then no. The real scientist's name was Gang Lu. His dissertation was titled Study of the "Critical Ionization Velocity" Effect by Particle-in-Cell Stimulation. Since I am no cosmologist or astrophysicist, I wouldn't know how his actual dissertation would have been relative to dark matter in general.
this based on a real story, right?.... tsss, in a way i kind of understand hs reaction at the end, but then again lives were taken.... life in never black and white, i guess we all should learn a lesson from this movie...
I am recommending this film to friends who have seen Academic Politics in action.
It is a great subject for a film about some of the threatened professors in various institutions. I have seen this kind of thing in other venues, too. I suppose that is why so many mediocre folks win. It is too bad that ability to play the game is more important than talent.
@lugia3 That is true. However, in physics, most professors just want to reach the final common goal. They want to figure out the true secrets of the world. Those are the non-ego-driven professors, the rest [of the assholes] who do it for money are ego-driven professors.
@XpuppybreathX yes it is from a true story, on Nov. 1. 1991, a chinese student killed 5 person in the university of iowa Van Allen Hall, including his advisor. the shooter's name was Lu Gang... i am currently a UI student..
the movie doesnt look all that bad. doubt ide go out of my way to watch it though. dump meryl streep and find some talent and the film may do really well. this will be 1 of those, "fuck, ive seen em all... guess ill rent the only copy of this that blockbuster stocks"
looks like it might be ok at best. I do like the idea of conflict between true science and the authorities science which this film may have some commentary on. The acting looks ok, which may bring it down.

This is one of the worst movies I've ever seen. The US continues to sell out everything to China who now has all our politicians in its pocket. We're doomed and refuse to see the real threat to our dumb and ever dumber homeland.
Just because they did not accepted his theory? Man, I don´t know what kind of cave you lived in, but in civilized world the human life has a very high meaning.
Serial killers are in the same field as men like Hitler, C. Rice, Talat Pasha or Mussolini.
Everybody has fails and turn downs, but killing someone just because he did not accept his theory, that has no justifications among rational species!
jajaja its like " Dude, try showing your theory in another university, science magazine, other teachers..." The idea of the movie was good, the development was not
This movie was sooooo good. The true story of Gang Lu, a Chinese physics student played by "Ye Liu". He should get an award for his powerful performance. He also plays in Blood Brothers, The Promise, and another one of Yimou Zhang's gr8 films, Curse of the Golden Flower
the student that shot and killed 5 teachers and injured 1
at the university of iowa in 1991
he went crazy with jealousy. read the 4th state of matter which is an essay about this occurrence, further more the title is called Dark Matter because it happened in the science department
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
The tittle suggest that the movie has dark matter as the main subject. But clearly, its not about darkmatter, but rather about a stupid student killing and injuring ppl. So it should be named "the Dumb science student" or something.
Well, I suppose if you want to watch science, you should turn to documentaries, but don't disparage a great drama just because it's not your genre. According to your reasoning, then, "The Deer Hunter" should've been about sy hunting deer, shouldn't it? However abominable it may seem, the title has a double meaning, and on purpose. :-I
if the system remains the same, no movie can change anything. The current system gives faculty advisor almost God like power, if he decided to abuse his students, steal their ideas or simply delay graduation indefinitely, there is almost nothing the student or anybody else can do beside giving up his 5-6 years of hard work and leave.
I agree 100% eatfastnoodle. In the 5+ years I've spent trying to earn my Master's I've hit roadblock after roadblock. There exists almost no oversight or influence the student can exert on the Master's or Doctoral process. There is one student in my program who I think is one of the most promising and intelligent grad students I've ever met, but he's quit due to stress and frustration.
and it's not just the faculty advisor, anybody on your graduate committee can potentially torpedo your graduation. I know a guy who has the support of his advisor, chair of the department. several big shot professors and even the head of grad school, yet still ran into serious problems from one single professor who didn't even have tenure, all because of some stupid internal politics between his advisor and that guy, yes, by acting so intransigently, that professor was digging his own grave cuz
intentionally torturing a student who had had everything ready except his signature would reflect very badly on himself, not to mention the almost sure to come retaliation from the student's advisor, but fact of matter remains: the system ensures that not even the president of the university can do anything if a member of your committee refuses to greenlight your dissertation, he could basically come up any excuse to prevent you from getting your degree. It's total insanity.
The secrets of the universe will never be told by a man who's vulnerable to the realities of life.
Make the right friends before you make any findings :)

Mathematically Breakthrough
The decelerating force that affected the Pioneer probes and the accelerating force that had caused many Fly-by anomalies:
1.) Both affect the Earth (and the planets) as well, - and with full force.
2.) Automatically equalize each other (when affecting the planets).
This is today is now mathematically proven.
