re: The Current War (Trailer) Tesla V Edison (Hoult-Cumberbatch-Shannon-Holland)

I've read all the books and stories about the war between Edison and Tesla. Bottom line is that Edison was ruthless and Tesla was a savant who (maybe) let Westinghouse get the best of him because he simply didn't understand that part of the business.

Would imagine they'll make a big deal out of Edison electrifying the poor elephant, and they should. Edison is not in any way a sympathetic character imho. He was a complete and total bastard.
