Un texto de Richard Fleischer sobre los documentales científicos de su padre

“Max’s ambitions seemed to have expanded with the new workspace and the spreading, international popularity of his Ko-Ko the Clown. Max had started thinking about making films that were longer than a single reel when something came along that captured his imagination, along with that of the rest of the world: Einstein’s theory of relativity. The press had given the theory plenty of attention, and the public showed enormous, but bewildered, curiosity about it. It was said that only about seven people in the world understood Einstein’s theory, yet everyone was talking about it. For Max, with his scientific mind and background, the idea of making a serious film that would give the average person some idea of what it was all about was irresistible. So, in the same year as the move to 1600 Broadway, Max commenced work on Einstein’s Theory of Relativity by enlisting the help of Professor Garret P. Serviss, the highly esteemed science writer for the New York American, as well as other scientific mavens who were experts in Einstein’s field of interest.

Max was really impressed with Serviss. Describing him in his unpublished autobiography, he writes: “During the production of Einstein’s Theory of Relativity I was quite close to Prof. Serviss, an elderly man, somewhat hard of hearing but amazingly brilliant and with a mind that worked with the speed of light. His knowledge fascinated me as much as the work of making the picture. I realized that right near me was a mind which I could never attain.” And this from a man who was frequently referred to as a genius himself. I include this quote because it reflects perfectly my father’s self-effacing personality, his total lack of ego, and his recognition and appreciation of the worth of others.
