Given freedom to change it, she went to cal-tech , i believe and interviewed A bunch of students, to find out what really went on there. Years later , At a showing of RG, real scientists said they chose their careers because of this movie. There are some videos on YT about the popcorn finale. It took months to pop all that popcorn.
