The Brutalist
Director Brady Corbet’s period drama,The Brutalist, is blazing through awards season.

Clearly, there is not an architect among them.
Although he trained as a geologist, Toth struggled with English and worked in a soap factory in Australia.
Unsurprisingly, Laszlo Toth was internationally infamous.
Hes been referenced in TV shows and has inspired two books.
Prior toThe Brutalist, the statue-vandalizing geologist was easily the most famous Laszlo Toth.
As such, its worth considering how the real Laszlo Toth relates to the fictional Laszlo Toth.
Brutalism insists that buildings should serve a clear purpose for the humans who use them.
In the 1950s, a group of (mostly British) Modernist architects developed Brutalism.
But Brutalisms more than just an architectural style, its also a philosophical approach to the material world.

Goldfinger, however, fled to Britain, not America.
WhileThe Brutalistmay not be based on Erno Goldfingers real life, he is the closest parallel to Laszlo.
Another similarity is how both Laszlo’s and Oppenheimer’s geniuses are shown in the language of film.
