Are you known by your father’s name in your locale than your own name? An individual! Or do you feel burdened by the legacy of your clan? Some movies beautifully explain the trauma of being a child with a bigger surname. Proof is one of them. The 2005 release, Proof is a drama of semi-thriller genre overshadowed by some exceptional performances by Gwyneth Paltrow and Anthony Hopkins, Directed by John Madden, scripted by Rebecca Miller based on David Auburn’s Pulitzer Prize winning play. 
Catherine (Paltrow) is a student of mathematics and daughter of exceptionally talented and worldwide recognized mathematician Robert, played by Anthony Hopkins. He is suffering from severe mental illness and dies. One day, she shows a notebook to her boy friend (also her father’s sincere student) Harold. It claims to contain proof of an important theorem and she claims it to be her work. Harold does not believe her as everything from the quality of work to her mediocre academic record, Robert’s success and fame to the cover of the notebook; speaks against her. They suggest her claims to be too tall to be believed. Meanwhile, Catherine’s sister, Claire arrives and supports the doubt. Question? Is Catherine lying? May be she is suffering from mental sickness inherited from her father. Paltrow, Hopkins and Hope Davis (Claire) are the highlights of the movie. Watch it, its worth it.
