There just happens to be a few films featuring the life of Thomas Edison, the latest being The Current War 2017. I haven't seen it but suspect it to be Hollywoodized to be better than the truth. And much older black and white film portraying the boy Thomas Edison. He was a brilliant man and yet he used each failure on his way to develop his successful inventions.
Great quote @deraaa , here's another from that genius...

"Our greatest weakness lies in giving up. The most certain way to succeed is always to try just one more time." ~ Thomas A Edison.
