Wow!!!
If you want to know how in depth an undertaking like creating a dictionary of every word in a language and published, well just wow.. this movie shows that.
Mel Gibson plays the guy that can get it done after many spent literally years and years trying. But Mel's character gets help. And that comes from a guy, a doctor in his field, but he is been in an insane asylum. He needed a rest :)

Based on true events.
 
worth watching
