 Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })Radioactive is a 2020 biopic about the Polish-French scientist Marie Curie. It is based on a 2010 graphic novel by Lauren Redniss and directed by Marjane Satrapi, creator of Persepolis. It stars Rosamund Pike in the titular role.The story spans a broad period of Curie's life, from her ejection from her first lab in Paris to her eventual death, centering on her relationship with her husband and collaborator Pierre Curie, with whom she shares her first Nobel Prize. Interspersed with her story, the film contains flash-forwards to various scenes showing the applications and consequences of radioactivity, including the Atomic Bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, radiation therapy for cancer, and the Chernobyl nuclear disaster.The film is highly stylized, reflecting its comic book roots. It explores themes of legacy, rebellion, romance, and the double-edged nature of scientific discovery.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })See also Madame Curie, a 1943 film which covers the same events.

 Artistic License – History: In the film, Marie and Pierre have a classic Meet Cute, with her literally running into him on the streets of Paris and him noticing notices what she's reading. In reality, Marie and Pierre were introduced by each other by a Polish professor of physics, Józef Wierusz-Kowalski, because he knew Marie was looking for laboratory space and thought Pierre would be able to provide it. Marie originally refused Pierre's first offer of marriage, as she hoped to go back to Poland and get a place at the Krakow University, but when she was denied that and had to pursue her work in Paris, she agreed to the marriage. Nothing of this appears in the film.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_3'); })
