On a whim, I recently rented the movie The Current War, starring Benedict Cumberbatch. It is the story of Thomas Edison and the race to light up the world in home across the United States. I was shocked by just how much I LOVED the movie. In fact, I liked it so much I had the kids watch it for a little lesson in History. I am not sure how closely the movie tells of the exact History but it did introduce some prominent figures that have enhacned technology through the years. I am jotted down some inspiring quotes from the film. So check out this list of some of the most inspiring The Current War movie quotes!
