movie review of a beautiful mind

A Beautiful Mind

The Nobel Prize winner John Forbes Nash Jr. still teaches at Princeton, and walks to campus every day. That these commonplace statements nearly brought tears to my eyes suggests the power of “A Beautiful Mind,” the story of a man who is one of the greatest mathematicians, and a victim of schizophrenia. Nash’s discoveries in game theory have an impact on our lives every day. He also believed for a time that Russians were sending him coded messages on the front page of the New York Times.

“A Beautiful Mind” stars Russell Crowe as Nash, and Jennifer Connelly as his wife, Alicia, who is pregnant with their child when the first symptoms of his disease become apparent. It tells the story of a man whose mind was of enormous service to humanity while at the same time betrayed him with frightening delusions. Crowe brings the character to life by sidestepping sensationalism and building with small behavioral details. He shows a man who descends into madness and then, unexpectedly, regains the ability to function in the academic world. Nash has been compared to Newton, Mendel and Darwin, but was also for many years just a man muttering to himself in the corner.

Director Ron Howard is able to suggest a core of goodness in Nash that inspired his wife and others to stand by him, to keep hope and, in her words in his darkest hour, “to believe that something extraordinary is possible.” The movie’s Nash begins as a quiet but cocky young man with a West Virginia accent, who gradually turns into a tortured, secretive paranoid who believes he is a spy being trailed by government agents. Crowe, who has an uncanny ability to modify his look to fit a role, always seems convincing as a man who ages 47 years during the film.

The early Nash, seen at Princeton in the late 1940s, calmly tells a scholarship winner “there is not a single seminal idea on either of your papers.” When he loses at a game of Go, he explains: “I had the first move. My play was perfect. The game is flawed.” He is aware of his impact on others (“I don’t much like people and they don’t much like me”) and recalls that his first-grade teacher said he was “born with two helpings of brain and a half-helping of heart.” It is Alicia who helps him find the heart. She is a graduate student when they meet, is attracted to his genius, is touched by his loneliness, is able to accept his idea of courtship when he informs her, “Ritual requires we proceed with a number of platonic activities before we have sex.” To the degree that he can be touched, she touches him, although often he seems trapped inside himself; Sylvia Nasar , who wrote the 1998 biography that informs Akiva Goldsman’s screenplay, begins her book by quoting Wordsworth about “a man forever voyaging through strange seas of Thought, alone.” Nash’s schizophrenia takes a literal, visual form. He believes he is being pursued by a federal agent ( Ed Harris ), and imagines himself in chase scenes that seem inspired by 1940s crime movies. He begins to find patterns where no patterns exist. One night he and Alicia stand under the sky and he asks her to name any object, and then connects stars to draw it. Romantic, but it’s not so romantic when she discovers his office thickly papered with countless bits torn from newspapers and magazines and connected by frantic lines into imaginary patterns.

The movie traces his treatment by an understanding psychiatrist ( Christopher Plummer ), and his agonizing courses of insulin shock therapy. Medication helps him improve somewhat–but only, of course, when he takes the medication. Eventually newer drugs are more effective, and he begins a tentative re-entry into the academic world at Princeton.

The movie fascinated me about the life of this man, and I sought more information, finding that for many years he was a recluse, wandering the campus, talking to no one, drinking coffee, smoking cigarettes, paging through piles of newspapers and magazines. And then one day he paid a quite ordinary compliment to a colleague about his daughter, and it was noticed that Nash seemed better.

There is a remarkable scene in the movie when a representative for the Nobel committee ( Austin Pendleton ) comes visiting, and hints that he is being “considered” for the prize. Nash observes that people are usually informed they have won, not that they are being considered: “You came here to find out if I am crazy and would screw everything up if I won.” He did win, and did not screw everything up.

The movies have a way of pushing mental illness into corners. It is grotesque, sensational, cute, funny, willful, tragic or perverse. Here it is simply a disease, which renders life almost but not quite impossible for Nash and his wife, before he becomes one of the lucky ones to pull out of the downward spiral.

When he won the Nobel, Nash was asked to write about his life, and he was honest enough to say his recovery is “not entirely a matter of joy.” He observes: “Without his ‘madness,’ Zarathustra would necessarily have been only another of the millions or billions of human individuals who have lived and then been forgotten.” Without his madness, would Nash have also lived and then been forgotten? Did his ability to penetrate the most difficult reaches of mathematical thought somehow come with a price attached? The movie does not know and cannot say.

Celebrates neurodiversity

What's the story.

A man sees what no one else can, and we call him a genius. A man sees what no one else does, and we call him crazy. This Academy Award-winner for Best Picture is about a man who was both. It's the true story of genius John Forbes Nash, Jr., who revolutionized mathematics and struggled with mentally illness. More than 40 years later, as he edged back into sanity, his contribution was recognized by academics in Sweden. They awarded him the Nobel Prize.

Is It Any Good?

This is an extraordinary story, and it has been made into an extraordinary movie. Crowe is, as always, simply magnificent in a role that would provide irresistible temptation for showboating for most actors. There are superb performances by everyone in the cast, including Connelly (an Oscar-winner for Best Supporting Actress), Paul Bettany , Ed Harris , Christopher Plummer , Judd Hirsch , and a dozen others.

What is really special here is the way that screenwriter Akiva Goldman and director Ron Howard have found a way to present both Nash's genius and his mental illness in such compelling, cinematic, and accessible terms. Both in essence become characters in the story as we go inside his head and wonder with Nash what to believe. This is what makes the movie more than a disease-of-the-week special with color-by- numbers "heartwarming" moments of triumph over adversity. This is what makes the movie itself a true work of art.

Talk to Your Kids About ...

Families can talk about mental illness, about how people with mental illness need to be treated, and about what is different now in the way we treat the mentally ill from the days depicted in the movie.

A Beautiful Mind Reviews

When I think of the phrase “Oscar bait,” an expression I’m honestly not fond of, Ron Howard’s A Beautiful Mind is the first movie I always think of.

Full Review | Jun 27, 2023

Nash's character is perfectly suited to Crowe's ability to charm and confuse at the same moment.

Full Review | Original Score: 3/5 | Jul 26, 2021

Its inspirational qualities to read more about the real John Nash (and all the things omitted from this biopic) might be the only lasting effect.

Full Review | Original Score: 4/10 | Sep 25, 2020

Howard's A Beautiful Mind works because it is not a film about mental illness, but a film about John Nash.

Full Review | Original Score: 3.5/4.0 | Sep 2, 2020

Profoundly, exhaustingly mediocre, a fussily overdone bit of mindless prestige filmmaking.

Full Review | Original Score: 2/5 | Feb 24, 2019

Granted, it's uplifting to see mental illness portrayed on the screen in a humane fashion and world-class intellectuals elevated to heroic status. But A Beautiful Mind feels contrived from beginning to end, a paint-by-the-numbers biography.

Full Review | Original Score: C- | Feb 21, 2019

This is stirring and absorbing stuff.

Full Review | Original Score: 5/5 | Feb 21, 2019

As competent, affecting biopics go, Mind won't win any prizes, but you've earned yourself the right for more awards consideration, mate.

Full Review | Feb 19, 2019

A Beautiful Mind isn't really interested in Nash's thoughts, let alone anyone else's.

Ultimately the message is banal and rather repellent: brainwork wrecks your health.

Full Review | Feb 28, 2018

Jennifer Connelly [works]. [Full Review in Spanish]

Full Review | Original Score: 3/5 | Feb 27, 2018

You've gotta hand it to Howard. He and A Beautiful Mind got me (and I bet will get you) interested in this subject for the first time since "new math" ruined it for most of us in high school.

Full Review | Original Score: 3.5/4 | Feb 27, 2018

Crowe is called upon to do not much more than stare solicitously at the heavens, from where inspiration duly arrives, to the accompaniment of some predictably celestial music.

Full Review | Oct 21, 2014

You're well into the story before you can sift the facts from the hallucinations, a process that's made compelling by Russell Crowe's performance in the lead.

The second, idealised, sentimentalised half of the film is torture, as we plod through the routine I'm-here-to-help psychiatrist, the walls plastered with cut-up newspapers and the what-happens-when-he-stops-taking-the-medicine stuff.

The story also comes up with a clever way for Nash to fight his problem: He uses his mind. His illness is a puzzle, after all, and he's good at figuring out puzzles. You'll root for him.

Despite problems of structure and tone, and some crucial omissions from Nash's actual life, A Beautiful Mind has emerged as one of the season's most enjoyable and popular films.

A Beautiful Mind is Howard's best movie, and easily one of the best movies of the year.

Full Review | Feb 4, 2014

A Beautiful Mind is the best film yet from director Howard.

Full Review | Original Score: 4/4 | Feb 4, 2014

It's not a crime for the script to gloss over the thornier aspects of Nash's story, but the film seems totally unconvincing, squeezing a real life into a formula that's simultaneously more palatable and less interesting.

A Beautiful Mind

Playing the mentally ill has always been a fast-track to critical and Oscar success, and so it proved for Russell Crowe, who bagged a third successive nomination for his performance as mentally-ill maths genius John Nash in Ron Howard's glossy biopic, which won Best Picture in 2002.

Crowe's off-screen contretemps with a Bafta official apparently cost him the chance to follow up on his Gladiator gold and follow in the footsteps of Geoffrey Rush ( Shine ), Daniel Day-Lewis ( My Left Foot ) and Dustin Hoffman ( Rain Man ), but there's no denying that his crowd-pleasing performance is this movie's trump card.

Essentially it's that old chestnut, the inspirational biopic and Howard skilfully yomps us along the well-worn path of early promise (success at sums!), catastrophic downfall (going bonkers!), and a final, emotionally-charged triumph over adversity (winning the Nobel Prize!). The problem is that, even if you haven't read the book on which it's based, you're left with the niggling suspicion that this is all too neat to be anything near the whole story. As indeed turns out to be the case.

Nash's bisexuality, a child out of wedlock and a divorce are all AWOL, while the feel-good ending neatly skips over the horrible, irreparable reality of a professional and personal life effectively ruined by insanity. Of course, any biopic smoothes the edges and has to construct a story out of the messy realities of life, but here there's a sense that the manipulation borders on dishonesty.

None of which is to deny that there are very good things as well. Crowe marshals his tics with showy aplomb, Howard displays his usual facility for smoothly-engineered filmmaking, and Akiva Goldsman's (yup, he of Batman & Robin ) screenplay delivers the necessary dramatic wallop and a craftily shocking reversal.

Support is generally good, especially from Paul Bettany, last seen whooping it up as Geoffrey Chaucer in A Knight's Tale , and the movie's only Oscar-winning performance from Bettany's future missus, Jennifer Connelly, here playing the put-upon and long-suffering Mrs. Nash. But in the end, Howard's film's undoubted effectiveness conceals a disappointingly cynical heart.

A Beautiful Mind (2001)

John Nash goes through life making connections, but not with other people. He sees meaningful patterns where the rest of us see only unintelligible randomness. Ideas are as real as people to him. Maybe more so. Eventually the ideas become too real — or the people not real enough — and Nash withdraws inexorably into the tangles of his own incandescent mind.

Artistic/Entertainment Value

Moral/spiritual value, age appropriateness, mpaa rating, caveat spectator.

There are any number of ways a movie like this can go wrong, but director Ron Howard skillfully avoids them all, aided by compelling performances from Russell Crowe ( Gladiator ) and Jennifer Connelly ( Requiem for a Dream ). Partly based on Sylvia Nasar’s 1998 biography of the brilliant but schizophrenic mathemetician John Forbes Nash Jr — who is still alive and teaching at his alma mater, Princeton University — A Beautiful Mind is engrossing, heartbreaking, and ultimately redemptive without being oversimplistic.

Individuals who are both gifted and disturbed are often made by the movies into holy innocents, poor defenseless saints victimized by unscrupulous ordinary people (cf. Shine , Rain Man , etc.). Not here. John Nash (Crowe), almost refreshingly, is a jerk. Smug and arrogant as a graduate student at Princeton, he regularly blows off all his classes, declaring that they “dull your mind, destroy the potential for true creativity.” Even when he loses a board game to another student, he can only stammer a self-vindication: “You should not have won. I had the first move. My play was perfect. The game is flawed.”

The story of an arrogant jerk, though, can be alienating and unaffecting. What keeps us caring here is Alicia Larde (Connelly), a lovely student who knows how to talk to John, and winds up marrying him. Alicia, who suffers with John through his dark night of the mind, could have been a mere assemblage of virtuous stereotypes; but instead she emerges as a mature, sensible, intelligent individual. Because she cares about her husband — and because he, even in the midst of his delusions, cares about her — what happens to him matters to us. Alicia provides the audience’s emotional anchor in the story; she also turns out to be John’s emotional anchor to reality.

Before meeting Alicia, Nash cares about only one thing: coming up with a truly original idea. We see his early struggle, and ultimately his success at the age of 21, though the nature of Nash’s revolutionary idea (which would ultimately win him a 1994 Nobel Prize for economics) is barely touched upon. (The movie whimsically depicts Nash coming up with his breakthrough approach to non-cooperative game theory while chatting with friends at a bar about strategies for picking up girls; the summary he actually gives is about on the level of the description of chaos theory we get from Jeff Goldblum holding Laura Dern’s hand in Jurassic Park .)

But that hardly matters. A Beautiful Mind is not about ideas per se , but about the experience of living in a world defined by ideas. Howard has good ideas about bringing his protagonist’s inner world to life: Numbers and words literally jump off the page at Nash as he makes connections, and the fitted-glass windows of Princeton’s ivy-covered halls become Nash’s extended blackboards, filled with closely scribbled white characters as he writes as it were in the air.

But it’s the depiction of the extent of Nash’s delusions that represents the film’s real master-stroke. With startling boldness A Beautiful Mind draws the audience in to Nash’s world — then yanks the rug from under our feet. It’s a frightening moment; and the frightfulness of Nash’s condition never really goes away. First there’s the horror of institutionalization and radical drug therapy, then the numbness of daily medication that leaves Nash intellectually and physically impotent. For a time it seems his only alternatives are life with schizophrenia or mere existence deprived of the things that make life worth living. Eventually, he learns that his condition can be managed, though he may never be cured.

All of this is of course a nightmare for Alicia as well, but she chooses to continue to love her husband in spite of what has happened to him. “I look at him,” she tells someone else, “and I force myself to see the man I married. And he becomes someone I love; and I become someone who loves him. It’s not all the time… but it’s enough.” In this simple declaration is more wisdom and virtue than in many another film. Decades later, in his Nobel Prize acceptance speech, the aging Nash credits Alicia as the reason he’s been able to go on: “You are all my reasons.”

As might be expected, Howard’s film oversimplifies several aspects of the real Nash’s life — though not nearly as much as many false allegations against Nash and the film’s accuracy would suggest. For example, charges of antisemitism, adultery, and even experimentation with homosexuality have all been roundly denounced by Nash himself, by his wife, and by his biographer, Sylvia Nasar.

Another charge, that in contrast to the solidly committed if highly strained marriage depicted in the film, the Nashes were actually divorced decades ago, is also misleading. Alicia did divorce John in the 1960s — but then a few years later took him back, and they lived together for almost 40 years before recently remarrying. Perhaps the film’s portrait of the redemptive and enduring love betwen these two people isn’t untrue to life, even if it has been smoothed over somewhat.

Russell Crowe is outstanding in a role that will easily win him a third straight best-actor Oscar nomination; it’s a pity he won last year for Gladiator , since it means he probably won’t win this year, even though this is a stronger performance in a stronger film. (Last year probably should have gone to Tom Hanks for Cast Away .)

In the hands of a lesser actor, Nash could have been all tics and eccentric behavior, but Crowe distills a character from the emotions: the arrogance and awkwardness, the burning ambition, the fearful paranoia, the sad determination. He may not give us much insight into what makes his character tick — perhaps that’s something no one can know — but Crowe does create an indelible impression of it would have been like to know the man.

Jennifer Connelly, who provides the movie’s heart, is equally dazzling. If Crowe submerges himself into the opacity of his character, Connelly plays hers with utter transparency. She hardly seems to be acting at all. Ed Harris ( Pollock ) and Paul Bettany ( A Knight’s Tale ’s Chaucer) provide sturdy support as, respectively, a mysterious G-man who needs Nash’s help and a bohemian roommate who takes an odd liking to Nash.

Ron Howard directs solidly, turning in his best work since Apollo 13 in what is his most mature film to date. He seems an entirely different director from the man who only last year gave us the soulless Grinch . Give this man more serious human drama, and keep him away from the fantasy. I’d like to see more films cut from the cloth of A Beautiful Mind .

Movie Review

As a graduate student at Princeton in 1947, math whiz John Nash won’t set foot in a classroom for fear of dulling his creative genius. Instead he spends his time scribbling formulas on windowpanes in search of a truly original and revolutionary idea. Nash isn’t the most popular fellow on campus, which is largely his own fault. He admits, “I’m quite well balanced; I have a chip on both shoulders. I don’t like people much and they don’t like me.” But even if moviegoers don’t exactly like this cold fish at the start, we learn to appreciate his quirky intellect. Apparently, so does William Parcher, an agent with the Department of Defense. After Nash experiences his scientific breakthrough and proves himself an expert code-breaker, Parcher enlists him to scour magazines in search of imbedded Soviet messages to operatives threatening to detonate a nuclear warhead on American soil.

It’s now the early 1950s. Nash courts and marries Alicia, a pretty coed who finds even his unromantic technospeak charming. Unable to share the top-secret activities that occupy his mind, he struggles with the secrets he must keep from her. But things come to a head when dark-clad figures close in on Nash during a speaking engagement. It seems the Russians have found him. Claiming to be a psychiatrist eager to help Nash, a man named Dr. Rosen sedates him and commits him to a psychiatric ward. Rosen tells Alicia that her husband is schizophrenic, and that the people and activities consuming his energy are merely fantastic conspiracy theories and paranoid delusions. Are they? Or is Nash a pawn in an intricate Cold War political plot? Despite these uncertainties, Alicia stands by her man to the very end, proving that a beautiful mind is surpassed only by a devoted heart. In Nash’s own words, “The most important discovery of my life . . . is that only in the mysterious equation of love can any logic and reason be found.”

positive elements: Despite being a drinker and womanizer, Nash’s college roommate, Charles, is a faithful companion and constant source of encouragement. A loving uncle, Charles explains that he accepted custody of his young niece when his sister was killed in a car crash. Nash refutes Adam Smith’s law of governing dynamics, suggesting that a group does not always benefit from each member’s selfish ambition, but that cooperation can yield positive benefits for all involved. Taking control of his thought life, Nash states, “Like a diet of the mind, I choose not to indulge certain appetites,” a great (if unintentional) illustration of 2 Corinthians 10:5. Similarly, Charles tells Nash, “Mathematics won’t lead you to higher truth.” Alicia gives her beau a handkerchief for good luck, to which the ever-logical Nash replies, “I don’t believe in luck, but I do believe in assigning value to things” as he pockets the gift. Nash wants to serve his country as a code-breaker, but worries about how his covert activities might impact his wife and unborn child. Feeling the net tightening around him, he insists that Alicia seek shelter at her mother’s home. She assures the safety of their infant son, but refuses to leave her husband’s side (throughout the ordeal she is patient, loyal, sensitive and nurturing toward Nash). Hansen turns out to be a pretty decent guy when, decades after his rivalry with Nash, he shows mercy by giving the ostracized genius a chance to rejoin the Princeton community.

spiritual content: Alicia concludes “God must be a painter” because He created so many colors. When a colleague sees Nash and invokes the name of Christ in an inappropriate manner, Nash replies glibly that his “savior complex” hasn’t quite aspired to that level.

sexual content: Nash and his buddies are preoccupied with finding willing sexual partners. Right after being introduced to a girl, Nash forgoes even the most basic social graces and asks what it will take for her to sleep with him. It seems to be his style. He later propositions Alicia during a date, saying, “I tend to expedite information flow by being direct. All I really want to do is have intercourse with you as soon as possible.” She’s turned on by his forthrightness and it’s implied that they have sex. After they’re married, Alicia reaches beneath the covers in an unsuccessful attempt to put her husband in the mood. Charles makes a crass sexual remark. Nash’s Nobel Prize-caliber breakthrough occurs as a result of calculating how all of his friends can “get laid” by being “selfless.” The way it works is that they approach one beautiful blond, then bypass her altogether in favor of her four less attractive friends.

violent content: In frustration, Nash bangs his head against a window, cracking the glass and bloodying his forehead. He punches Dr. Rosen. A car chase involving an exchange of gunfire ends with Nash and Parcher’s bullet-riddled pursuers driving into a river. Elsewhere, characters brandish guns in a threatening manner. Newsreel footage shows the devastating power of a nuclear blast. Rosen’s people perform violent shock therapy on Nash. Several people are slapped. Alicia snaps under the stress, hurling a glass against a wall and smashing a mirror. To prove his story and his sanity, Nash gouges his arm to retrieve an implanted security device (lots of blood). There’s an intense scene in which a baby nearly drowns in a bathtub.

crude or profane language: Two dozen profanities include several s-words and 10 misuses of God’s name (five are exclamations of Jesus’ name). At one point, Charles employs crass anatomical slang in a sexual context. A young man uses a derogatory term for Japanese people.

drug and alcohol content: Many characters smoke cigarettes. We meet Charles after he has had a bit too much Johnny Walker (shortly thereafter, the free-spirit offers a flask to Nash and the two share a slug). At a campus bar, guys drink beer on several occasions. Nash and Charles both proclaim a deep “respect for beer.” Champagne is used to toast Nash’s success, and later appears at a formal party. Charles makes a reference to a drunk driving fatality. Dr. Rosen keeps Nash heavily medicated with substances ranging from Thorazine and pills to insulin shocks.

other negative elements: Nash is not an easy protagonist to embrace. In addition to admitting he doesn’t like people, he’s extremely arrogant. He despises having to share face time on a magazine cover with peers he calls “hacks.” As a teacher, he tells sweltering students wishing to let in fresh air and accompanying street noise, “Your comfort comes second to my ability to hear my own voice.” He resents sharing a scholarship with Hansen and belittles the man’s achievements as “derivative.”

conclusion: This is a very well-made, well-acted film guaranteed to get attention at Oscar time. But as taut and beguiling as A Beautiful Mind may be as a political thriller/psychological drama, the film’s themes of marital devotion and one man’s obsessive quest for personal significance left the greatest impression. It’s the kind of movie mature viewers will enjoy discussing long after the lights come up. Unfortunately, it seems any time Hollywood tackles “grown up” subject matter, it feels the need to toss in unnecessary content that can undermine the experience. Here the culprits are language and sexual immorality. Frustrating. Calculating viewers who factor in those variables will likely come to a singular conclusion: A Beautiful Mind is an intriguing, yet imperfect formula for a night out at the movies.

A Beautiful Mind (2001)–****

I’ve never really liked the biopic sub-genre. Rarely can a film telling the story of a real person, regardless of its star, feel like anything more than a made-for-TV movie. In A Beautiful Mind , Ron Howard explores the life of Noble Prize winner John Nash. This biopic can be considered a profile of a schizophrenic or a tale about the enduring power of love. Either way, A Beautiful Mind translates into a first rate biopic and one of the best film’s of the year.

After entering Princeton, John Nash (Russell Crowe) goes looking for the one idea that will distinguish him from the other students. With encouragement from his roommate Charles (Paul Bettany) and a lot of jeering from other math students, Nash discovers a revolutionary economic theory. The monumental discovery gets him a position at MIT’s Wellers Defense Lab.

Four years pass, and finally, Nash gets a job he sees worthy of his talents. Department of Defense Officer Parcher (Ed Harris) recruits the genius performs communist code breaking. While he works for the government, he falls for Alicia (Jennifer Connelly), an MIT student. Even as their relationship blooms, Nash’s government work causes extreme paranoia. His behavior results in hospitalization for schizophrenia where he learns much of his life, his government work and his roommate Charles, are all delusions. With the realization of his problem, Nash begins a long battle to live and love with his disease.

A Beautiful Mind is a rare type of biopic. While remaining loyal to the man it was based on, the film doesn’t neglect to be as exciting as it is intelligent. Screenwriter Akiva Goldsman fabulously puts together a clever and heartening biography. Witty one-liners and a harrowing love story combine to make an extraordinarily engaging drama, while the movie flows through Nash’s life with spectacular ease. Even if parts of his life were pushed far into the background, the film feels more complete than most biopics.

Director Ron Howard not only has a marvelously written film on his hands, but this often-unappreciated talent (Academy, this means you) puts together a directorial triumph no one can ignore. Its not just technical achievement like making the codes leap from the page and screen, but he has the audience inside the mind of a schizophrenic. When an audience member can question the existence of certain characters right up until the end, the question shouldn’t be if Ron Howard would finally get the Oscar nomination. Rather, we should ask if the Academy could afford not to nominate him.

A Beautiful Mind continues its superiority in the biopic sub-genre with an irreplaceable and unforgettable cast. No one but Russell Crowe could have starred in this movie. The actor who brought an emperor to his knees, took on big tobacco, and overcame a crooked cop crime lord just becomes more impressive with each new film. From the startling schizophrenic outbursts of paranoia to the little idiosyncrasies like face rubbing, Russell Crowe’s transformation into John Nash is unquestionably his best work to date. With dexterity like Russell Crowe’s, he could star in any film and make it at least a good movie. A film like A Beautiful Mind , however, is a genuine masterpiece with Crowe as the star.

Playing opposite Crowe is Jennifer Connelly. Mostly remembered as the big sister who makes a regrettable wish in Labyrinth , Connelly has showed an astounding level of maturity with Alicia Nash. While not quite as haunting as her role in Requiem for A Dream , Connelly’s performance is emotionally provoking and sincerely touching. She brings a natural elegance to the screen and doesn’t sacrifice it when her character is pushed to the limit. Connelly even manages to keep up with the tremendous talent of Russell Crowe, a feat his co-stars usually can’t claim.

A Beautiful Mind is truly original and undeniably beautiful. It entertains; it enlightens; it’s just an outstanding film. Since A Beautiful Mind is a biopic, the film shouldn’t be this close to perfection. But it is.

Movie Review: Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix

Ed Harris, Russel Crowe, Jennifer Connelly, and Paul Bettany were terrific.

The film had great balance and is worth a viewing.

The story boldly addresses mental illness as a handicap.

Because of the quality of the acting and directing, this movie is a beacon of hope for people of all disabilities. The film illustrates to the viewer how deeply a handicap can infiltrate the domestic, professional, and personal lives of those unfortunate to have these types of issues. I hope Ron Howard and the acting crew can get together again for something similar. This was a great film, that also serves an important role for awareness to people that might not understand how deeply debilitating these issues can be, and also gets the message across that not all should be marginalized.

A Beautiful Mind

I never thought I would willingly watch a movie about math. Frankly, I got quite more than my fill of that in college. Even there I spent more time sleeping than I did engaging in the art of equations. But somehow, director Ron Howard has found a way to do what no college professor ever could… make math interesting.

A Beautiful Mind stars Russell Crowe as genius mathematician John Nash. Based on a true story, Nash is diagnosed as a paranoid-schizophrenic. With the help of his wife Alicia ( Jennifer Connelly ) he struggles against his madness and wins the Nobel Prize for his truly original theories. Most movies about mental illness generally tend to be less concerned with telling a powerful story, than they are in garnering rivers of tears. Sickly forced sweetness and artificial sadness are not the order of the day in the stunning story of John Nash.

A Beautiful Mind is not some sort of Forest Gump meets Einstein outing. John Nash, despite his eccentricities and lack of tact, is an engaging and intelligent character. Nor is it some kind of contrived bit of romance, where boy meets girl, girl saves boy’s soul. At its heart, A Beautiful Mind IS a romance, but one born out of the depth of deep lasting relationships and realistic, true love.

This a journey of discovery, magic, and heart carried along on the wings of dark personal tragedy. The film is gripping and emotional, but without any of the forceful fanfare of so many modern movies. In fact, it’s really quite low-key in tone throughout. Really, the viewer’s deep investment in Beautiful Mind’s characters only sneaks up on you when your back is turned. Ron Howard’s film grabs your heart when you aren’t looking and leaves you gasping and crying for characters you didn’t know you loved.

This is a cast firing on all cylinders with truly Oscar winning performances. John Nash couldn’t possibly be further from Crowe’s pumped up Maximus from last year’s dubious Oscar winner Gladiator . But Crowe is superb and convincing. There is little that one could ask from him here that hasn’t already been delivered. Connelly, to no one’s surprise, shines just as brightly as Alicia Nash as she does in ANY role she’s given.

Strangely enough, this really is a film centered around math. Why didn’t it put me to sleep? I had a bad time keeping my head off my desk in dear old Mrs. Kemp’s high school Algebra class. In college, Calculus sent me screaming. But for A Beautiful Mind , I spent hours willingly watching a mathematician work. In fact, some of the most enjoyable and singular moments of the film are spent watching Nash SOLVE PROBLEMS! Howard’s style is thrilling and entertaining. Nash’s work is engrossing, but only because Howard makes it so.

Love story, or math problem, A Beautiful Mind is without a doubt one of the finest, most genuine films of 2001.

Review: a beautiful mind.

A Beautiful Mind is like a brick to the head to anyone who ever winced at the utterance of “infinity plus one.”

It’s difficult to pinpoint what aspect of A Beautiful Mind is more lacerating: Russell Crowe’s notion of crazy (picture John Goodman doing a David Helfgott impersonation while chewing on Marlon Brando’s Godfather tissue paper), the loveless direction, the egregious abuse of numerical signifiers, or the disturbing manner in which schizophrenia is transformed into Sixth Sense -style entertainment for the masses. Yeah, that’s right: Ron Howard’s Rain Man perseverance saga comes readymade with a midpoint rhetorical shift that tries to excuse the schmaltz of John Nash’s (Crowe) fabricated existenz. Nash is of the K-Paxian kind, his scribbling of complex algorithms upon Princeton windowpanes accompanied by a tinkly James Horner score. This is pre-fabricated Oscar dribble at its worst, condescendingly rewriting a life struggle as an easy-to-digest Lifetime movie of the week.

If Hanna-Barbera wanted to render a cartoon character’s lengthy day travels, the cartoonists might have cut from a shot of Huckleberry Hound walking before the Eiffel Tower to a shot of the dog prancing before Big Ben. Back in film school, we were instructed to stray from exactly these kinds of simpleminded techniques. A young Nash sits at his desk while special effects morph the exterior of a Princeton dorm to accentuate the changing seasons (leaves drop, snow gathers and melt, birds chirp). Howard gets the job done (the spectator assumes a school year has passed) but there must be a less reductive method of signifying the passage of time. This kind of lifeless direction is far from challenging, so bland and ordinary it could be packaged and sold with an accompanying cookie cutter.

If at all possible, there are even less subtle abuses at work here: Howard’s camera spins to no end whenever Nash walks into a virgin room (you know, the kind someone has never been inside) while the fall of game pieces comes replete with accompanying thumps courtesy of overzealous sound designers. As written by Akiva Goldsman ( A Time to Kill , Batman & Robin ), A Beautiful Mind affords little room for the frequent errors of human communication. Every pronoun and adjective is as pitch-perfectly calibrated as the careful placement of horrified witnesses to Nash’s frequent flights of lunacy. There’s nothing organic about Goldsman’s script, which condescendingly transforms Nash into a mere child annoyed by imaginary characters. For one’s easily digestible pleasure, Gumpian taglines are readily available. Most nauseating: “This is all I am.” Not impressed? There’s always: “They were wrong, John. No one wins.”

The danger of Howard and Goldsman’s bio-flick is that it sacrifices authenticity (gone are Nash’s real-life experiences with aliens and the same sex) by implicating the spectator in a circus-act (in effect, the audience is tricked into believing in his world). Mind ’s first hour is a bona fide thriller (ripe with car chases and top-secret document drop-offs). Howard takes his time convincing the spectator that Nash is a Pentagon operative; in the end, Nash may have a corner office but his number-crunching is entirely self-serving. Mind is less concerned with Nash (the man, the scientist, the genius) than it is with promoting a ridiculous litmus test: you too can be crazy, but only for two hours! Okay, so Howard has fashioned the first half of Mind as a view-askew from Nash’s own mind. This is interesting enough (more so in retrospect) but think of the fascinating, unending possibilities of having simply shown Nash talking to dead air for the duration of the film. This would have been a braver, more authentic approach (certainly more ethical), replete with tragedy and remorse from the start. Moral qualms aside, the narrative is still quintessentially cornball: is the first hour of Mind supposed to be the world as seen by a master mathematician gone crazy or a Midwest yokel who’s watched Dead Poet’s Society a hundred times and still thinks emotionally-frayed characters slide down the sides of doors once they’ve locked their lovers out?

There is one mitigating factor: a gorgeous Jennifer Connelly, as grieving wife Alicia, successfully stifles nausea with each line-delivery. Nash’s courting ritual is worthy of Danielle Steele (is that an equation for love written on Nash’s chalkboard?); he motions to the sky, finding an umbrella amid the starry sky. If Connelly glows, Crowe creeps. In effect, it becomes particularly difficult to gauge Crowe’s performance when his romantic gaze becomes less loving and more like a stifled need to chew or spit on Connelly’s naked back. Forget Nash’s beautiful mind, Alicia reminds Computer Brain that freedom lies in one’s beautiful heart. Nash is liberated: a group of pen-loving elders bestow their approval via a ludicrous Princeton tea party, a new kid on the block conjures images from A Beautiful Mind: The Next Generation and Nash courts the Nobel Prize (you’ll never know why he wins the award but Crowe and Connelly happily distract with age make-up left over from For the Boys ). A Beautiful Mind is like a brick to the head to anyone who ever winced at the utterance of “infinity plus one.”

A Beautiful Mind: A Psychological Review

Ron howard's incredibly successful film handles schizophrenia with a gentle touch..

A Beautiful Mind is a 2001 American biographical drama film that chronicles the life of John Nash, a brilliant mathematician who struggles with schizophrenia. The film won four Academy Awards, including Best Picture, Best Director for Ron Howard, Best Adapted Screenplay for Akiva Goldsman, and Best Supporting Actress for Jennifer Connelly.

John Nash, the brilliant mathematician at the heart of the movies was marked by exceptional intelligence from a young age. However, this remarkable intellect coexisted with signs of social awkwardness and emotional detachment.

During his school days a teacher said to him, "You were born with two helpings of brain but only a half a one of heart," this very aptly summarized Nash's complex nature, foreshadowing the lifelong struggle he would face in balancing his intellectual gifts with his mental health issues.

The Path to Brilliance and the Descent into Schizophrenia

Nash's journey from brilliant student to Nobel Prize-winning mathematician was punctuated by the onset of schizophrenia. While his academic pursuits flourished at Princeton University, his personal life became increasingly chaotic.

He neglected personal hygiene, struggled to maintain relationships, and exhibited an intense focus on his mathematical work. His apathy towards people, colleagues, and his diminished emotional expressions were early indicators of his deteriorating mental health.

He also suffered hallucinations and delusions and along with diminished emotional expression these are three of the five characteristics required for a diagnosis of schizophrenia. The other two being disorganized speech and catatonic behavior, things he also displayed occasionally in the film.

The Cold War Crucible: A Potential Trigger for Schizophrenia

The film suggests that two elements may have triggered Nash's schizophrenia. These were him attending university and the background of the Cold War.

Things start to go badly for Nash’s mental health when he starts his studies and thanks to his mathematical skills he’s soon ‘recruited’ by the Department of Defence to break Russian codes.

Hallucinations and Delusions: Navigating a Distorted Reality

Nash's schizophrenia manifested in the form of vivid hallucinations and elaborate delusions. He has a nonexistent roommate named Charles who he bickers with but also confides in too. There’s also Charles’ niece Marcee who plays an interesting role in that she asks him tough questions about his life and doesn’t really take any guff from him.

Finally, there’s William Parcher, a character he believes to be a military intelligence officer, and his superior when he is recruited to help the US in its codebreaking operations against Russia.

These recurring figures represented different aspects of Nash's internal conflict, reflecting his fears, insecurities, and desires.

His primary delusion centers on the aforementioned belief that he was a secret agent for the Department of Defense, entrusted with deciphering coded messages in newspapers and magazines to prevent a Soviet attack.

This delusion provided Nash with a sense of purpose and importance, compensating for his feelings of isolation and alienation. It also put in him great mental strife as he imagines he’s hunted and attacked by foes.

A Journey of Resilience and Triumph

Amidst the challenges of schizophrenia, Nash found love and support in his wife, Alicia. Her unwavering devotion and understanding played a crucial role in helping him manage his illness and pursue his academic career.

This devotion is tested though, particularly in a scene where Nash gets into a fight with Charles. Alicia cowers in the bathroom holding their newborn baby and when Nash enters he begins blabbering that he’s the only one that can see Charles because he’s been injected with a cloating serum where only Nash can see him. Alicia cries ‘there’s nobody here, there’s nobody here’.

Despite the debilitating effects of his condition, Nash managed to achieve extraordinary success, earning a Nobel Prize in Economics for his contributions to game theory.

Introducing Society to Schizophrenia

A Beautiful Mind has been widely praised for its sensitive and nuanced portrayal of schizophrenia. The film avoids sensationalizing the condition, instead focusing on the human cost of mental illness and the challenges faced by those living with schizophrenia and their loved ones. It has raised awareness of the disorder and sparked important conversations about the stigma associated with mental health.

The movie is not merely a story about schizophrenia though; it is a testament to the resilience of the human spirit. It is a reminder that even in the face of seemingly insurmountable challenges, individuals can find strength, love, and purpose.

Nash's story teaches us that with determination and support, even those battling debilitating mental illnesses can achieve remarkable success and contribute meaningfully to society.

The film's enduring impact lies in its ability to humanize mental illness, showing that individuals with schizophrenia are not defined by their condition but by their courage, perseverance, and humanity.

Beautiful Mind, A (United States, 2001)

A Beautiful Mind is a beautifully written, effectively acted, and meticulously crafted effort that is likely to remind many viewers of a simple axiom: a movie doesn't have to be groundbreaking to be compelling. Originality is a prized commodity because there is so little of it in Hollywood these days, but, when filmmakers do such a skillful job with familiar elements, their efforts should be acknowledged. Affecting without being overtly manipulative, A Beautiful Mind tells the life story of John Nash, a Nobel prize winner who struggled through most of his adult life with schizophrenia. As directed by Ron Howard, this becomes a tale not only of one man's battle to overcome his own disability, but of the overreaching power of love - a theme that has been embraced by films as diverse as It's a Wonderful Life and Rocky .

A Beautiful Mind may have been developed to be a crowd-pleaser as well as a tear-jerker, but genuine craft is evident in the way the pieces were assembled. The movie never becomes cloying, nor does it threaten to drown us beneath an outpouring of false sentiment. This is no Patch Adams , filled with saccharine-coated artificiality. The characters are effectively drawn and their plight touches an emotional chord. A Beautiful Mind offers a catharsis without insulting the intelligence. Sadly, too few movies these days can make a similar claim. This film argues that there are still instances when Hollywood-produced, big budget movies are worth a viewer's investment of time and money.

A Beautiful Mind purports to tell the true story of Professor John Nash (Russell Crowe), but, while the gross facts may be accurate, one must expect embellishment of the details. Narrative features are not constrained by the same rules that limit documentaries. We first meet Nash as a student at Princeton in 1947. He is brilliant but erratic - a mathematical genius who lacks social skills. He is aided in making it through those difficult years by his roommate, Charles (Paul Bettany). Years later, following an astounding breakthrough that revolutionizes economics, John is teaching at M.I.T. and doing code-breaking work for a shady government agent, William Parcher (Ed Harris). It's at this time that John meets, falls in love with, and marries Alicia (Jennifer Connelly). But his happy world soon starts to crumble. John is afflicted with paranoid hallucinations; by the time he is taken to a mental hospital under the care of the mysterious Dr. Rosen (Christopher Plummer), he is diagnosed as having an advanced case of schizophrenia.

For Russell Crowe, the winner of last year's Best Actor Oscar, this is another opportunity to broaden his range. Crowe successfully buries his personality beneath Nash's, allowing the character to come to the fore (a necessity, considering the actor's current load of off-screen baggage). Much as he did in The Insider , Crowe shows no difficulty inhabiting the skin of a real-life individual who has a stronger intellect than physique. And, when it comes to the sequences depicting Nash battling his demons, Crowe's performance is utterly convincing. Meanwhile, Jennifer Connelly is luminous as Alicia. Although the showier performance belongs to Crowe, it is Connelly's complex work, depicting a woman torn by love for and fear of the same man, that elevates the film to a higher level. The actress was unjustly overlooked for Requiem for a Dream ; hopefully, the Academy will not repeat that mistake. Solid support is provided by Ed Harris and Christopher Plummer.

A viewer certainly doesn't have to be a mathematical expert to appreciate what A Beautiful Mind offers, although those with a strong left-brain component may relate better to John Nash than right-brainers. The movie tosses mathematical theories and theorems in the audience's direction, but explains them simply and lucidly; no one is going to become lost or bored. A Beautiful Mind isn't about mathematics except as a symbol. It's about human frailty and the ability to triumph over it. Nash could just as easily be a doctor, a lawyer, or a construction worker and the essence of the story would not change.

The strength of the writing and production values elevate A Beautiful Mind far above "disease of the week movie" quality. At the core of the picture lies the relationship between John and Alicia, and the tribulations that the strength of their bond allows them to overcome. On one occasion, a friend asks Alicia how she can continue to stay with her stricken husband, and she replies with a succinct explanation that everyone who has ever been in love will understand. A Beautiful Mind defies the conventional Hollywood wisdom that love is passion and romance. For John and Alicia, it is painful, heartbreaking work. And, while hearts and flowers are great for a fantasy, this is the kind of expression of emotion that touches a deeper chord.

Introduction

Directed by Ron Howard, A Beautiful Mind is an inspiring American movie, which explores the story of a successful young Mathematician, John Nash. In the story, Nash tries to find an original idea while in a graduate school where he interacts with many people most of whom he does not like.

He later gets a high profile job where he falls in love with Alicia whom he later marries. Nash begins to have a problem of paranoia and he later discovers that he is suffering from Schizophrenia. He tries to cope with his medical condition. At one point, he attempts to pluck out an implant in his arm. At another instance, he refuses to take medicine because he claims that the medicine has side effects.

This condition brings suffering in Nash’s life as he watches in pain how much his condition burdens his wife as well as his friends. The rest of the movie talks about Nash’s abilities and achievements as he tries to overcome his condition while he brings out his genius self. By using the events in Nash’s life and his condition, the movie accurately depicts schizophrenia, which will be the major subject of interest in the review of this movie.

Schizophrenia is a mind disorder in which the sufferer experiences periods of hallucinations and delusions. The movie successfully manages to create global awareness about Schizophrenia, a mental illness, which people had hitherto considered a mystery. The movie effectively underscores different issues about Schizophrenia including what happens in the sufferer’s mind by handling it as one of the major themes.

Nasar argues that the decision of Howard to showcase Nash as a sufferer of Schizophrenia who is able to overcome this mental disorder is quite admirable since besides encouraging the sufferers of this mental illness, he also overshadows the world wide myths about this condition (1998, p.78) .

The film shows how Nash suffers from his childhood, gradually learns to overcome this condition and manages to bring out his genius self as a mathematician. According to Goldsman, the hallucinations and delusions experienced by Nash as this condition plagues him from his childhood is an attempt by Psychiatrists to guide and educate people about the symptoms of this mental illness ( 2002, p.52).

Like Nash, everyone, if not most of the people suffering from Schizophrenia are bound to experience hallucinations and delusions. The violent nature of Nash that causes his wife to flee with her baby in fear of her security further shows that choleric is another symptom of Schizophrenia. There may however be small variations in the intensity these symptoms amongst the sufferers.

After undergoing insulin therapy, the Physician gives Nash antipsychotic drugs that after taking part of the dose he experiences damaging fallouts that sever emotional and sexual links with his wife. This prompts him to stop taking the drugs, which affects his intellect. By painting this picture of Nash, the director tries to create awareness about the side effects of schizophrenia medication.

On the other side, many myths exist in the public domain about this condition. One such myth asserts that schizophrenics exhibit two or more personalities. For instance, Nash assumes one personality as a sufferer of Schizophrenia and the other as a genius in mathematics who wins Nobel prizes.

A Beautiful Mind is one of the movies that have successfully endeavored to create worldwide awareness about Schizophrenia, a mental illness that causes hallucinations and delusions. The movie, through the main character manages to inform its audience that despite being in this condition, the sufferers can overcome it and live up to their expectations.

TIFF Review: Flow Suggests Classic Disney By Way of Emmanuel Lubezki

Being a pet owner, depending on your personality, comes with a fair level of anxiety. For example: after leaving my apartment to go see the film I’m writing about, the thought crossed my mind that maybe I hadn’t shut my bathroom door. If so, my two beautiful senior cats could potentially get inside and consume flowers toxic to them. For some people this is just the anxiety they have regarding, I don’t know, leaving the oven on whenever they head out in public, but for a certain kind of animal-loving softie, intrusive thoughts will be bound to hover.

After reassuring my anxiety about whether my cats got into the bathroom, it transferred to the pixelated critter at the center of Flow. A unnamed black shorthair introduced glancing at his own reflection in a pool of water, the outdoor cat seems to live in a forest home vacated by humans, though with remnants of large cat statues (I don’t blame people for worshiping felines to that degree) indicating some kind of mysterious society. Suddenly a tsunami consumes the cat’s home, leaving them to confront every kitty’s worst nightmare: water, and lots of it.

Any cat owner who saw this year’s A Quiet Place: Day One may recall the stress induced by the image of a cat bobbing underwater and often think of that as our feline hero escapes one sticky situation after another. They’re not alone, though, interacting with an adorable band of animals that include a capybara, golden retriever, lemur, and limp-winged tall bird. The cute buddies all “speak” through meows, barks, squeaks, and grunts, making Flow essentially enough of an “art film” to get festival play, even if it’s pretty simple at heart––while ostensibly a cutesy animated movie for children, I never felt my intelligence insulted. I don’t know if a limited release provided by North American distributors Janus and Sideshow means Flow finds a young audience beyond cultured adults taking their kids, but the film, at heart, recalls some of classic Disney.

In more adult terms, Flow suggests an animated iteration of a mid-2010s Emmanuel Lubezki-shot technical-showcase survival movie (e.g. Gravity and The Revenant ), or––if you need another shorthand––something its detractors will basically argue to be a glorified video game à la 2022’s Stray . As a virtuoso experiment, the freedom provided by animation maybe lets the camera “flow” a little too much. The film’s choice to integrate rather pretty 3D animation with more cartoonish designs produces mixed results for pure aesthetic pleasure, and in a brief 84-minute runtime it still manages to be a little repetitive. (I encourage you to take a shot every time the cat manages to fall off the boat.) But if able to recognize the canny bit of emotional manipulation, all the same I must appreciate it still getting me through every nerve-wracking setpiece with a deep level of investment.

Flow screened at the 2024 Toronto International Film Festival and will be released by Janus Films/Sideshow.

A BEAUTIFUL MIND (2001) Rating: 10/10. A Beautiful Mind's greatest achievement, in my humble opinion, is the way it makes schizophrenia accessible to "sane" people. The general public knows schizophrenics tend to talk to themselves, repeat certain actions and do things generally at odds with the norm.

It's a pleasure, then, to report that A Beautiful Mind is actually a very good movie. And if it was made on some level as Oscar bait, that's okay too. This is a good story, well told, that never ...

Movie Review: A BEAUTIFUL MIND (2001)
A Beautiful Mind (2001)--**** I've never really liked the biopic sub-genre. Rarely can a film telling the story of a real person, regardless of its star, feel like anything more than a made-for-TV movie. In A Beautiful Mind, Ron Howard explores the life of Noble Prize winner John Nash. This biopic can be considered a profile of a schizophrenic or a tale about the enduring power of love.
A Beautiful Mind
John Nash, despite his eccentricities and lack of tact, is an engaging and intelligent character. Nor is it some kind of contrived bit of romance, where boy meets girl, girl saves boy's soul. At ...
Review: A Beautiful Mind
Review: A Beautiful Mind. A Beautiful Mind is like a brick to the head to anyone who ever winced at the utterance of "infinity plus one.". It's difficult to pinpoint what aspect of A Beautiful Mind is more lacerating: Russell Crowe's notion of crazy (picture John Goodman doing a David Helfgott impersonation while chewing on Marlon ...

A Beautiful Mind: A Psychological Review
A Beautiful Mind is a 2001 American biographical drama film that chronicles the life of John Nash, a brilliant mathematician who struggles with schizophrenia. The film won four Academy Awards, including Best Picture, Best Director for Ron Howard, Best Adapted Screenplay for Akiva Goldsman, and Best Supporting Actress for Jennifer Connelly.
"A Beautiful Mind" Review
Ron Howard's Oscar-winning film, "A Beautiful Mind," is, on the surface, an easy film to peg. It is the story of John Nash (Russell Crowe), one of America's most brilliant mathematicians and also a man diagnosed with schizophrenia. Crowe's performance of Nash, who was awarded the Nobel Prize for his work on game theory, is a multi-layered ...
A Beautiful Mind
The screenplay written by Akiva Goldsman draws on material in Sylvia Nasar's A Beautiful Mind. Ron Howard as director has fashioned a drama about the slow hatching of Nash's heart. Early on, the mathematician recalls a second grade teacher's evaluation of him as having been given two helpings of brain but only one helping of heart.
A Beautiful Mind (2001)
Winner of the 2019 Best Picture Review poll In deference to the idea that negativity is hard on your body and mind, I would like to begin talking about A Beautiful Mind, winner of the 74th Oscar for Best Picture, with my compliment.Starting right at the studio logos, we hear a really lovely motif in the score composed by James Horner, something beautiful and ghostly and light, carried on the ...
Beautiful Mind, A
A movie review by James Berardinelli. A Beautiful Mind is a beautifully written, effectively acted, and meticulously crafted effort that is likely to remind many viewers of a simple axiom: a movie doesn't have to be groundbreaking to be compelling. Originality is a prized commodity because there is so little of it in Hollywood these days, but ...
