A Beautiful Mind
2001 Directed by Ron Howard
Synopsis
I need to believe that something extra ordinary is possible....
At Princeton University, John Nash struggles to make a worthwhile contribution to serve as his legacy to the world of mathematics. He finally makes a revolutionary breakthrough that will eventually earn him the Nobel Prize. After graduate school he turns to teaching, becoming romantically involved with his student Alicia. Meanwhile the government asks his help with breaking Soviet codes, which soon gets him involved in a terrifying conspiracy plot. Nash grows more and more paranoid until a discovery that turns his entire world upside down. Now it is only with Alicia's help that he will be able to recover his mental strength and regain his status as the great mathematician we know him as today.

I've said it once and I'll say it again. Russell Crowe is one of the finest actors of our generation. He is simply fantastic in this movie. Everything is done perfectly. The only thing is that I think it gets a little long at the end but still a great film.

A little too formulaic and sappy, its a pretty good movie nonetheless. Crowe is good with what he is given and his mannerisms are spot on, but the character rarely goes deeper than his disorder, a problem with a lot of these types of films. Jennifer Connelly is amazing however as Nash's wife, and grounds the film.

Magnificent telling of the life of John Nash the 1994 Noble Prize Winner preformed by Russel Crowe and directed by Ron Howard.

Russell Crowe: Socially awkwardness in perfection. Loved his performance, but there are better movies dealing with this topic.

I struggle to find one single flaw in this entire film. It's use of paradox as a way to punch the audience with John Nash's antagonist and inner conflict is genius beyond words. A film much in the vein of Vincente Minnelli's "Lust for Life" (a wholly unrecognized gem among today's "film buffs"), Ron Howard establishes himself as a heavyweight in the modern industry. This story of an extraordinary genius is heartbreaking, uplifting, and as intriguing as any film in decades. It proves that even a well established structural model can be truly effective at holding the audience's attention.

I really enjoyed it, even if it's not exactly my genre.

good depiction of schizophrenia, otherwise a bit too long and schmalzy.

Russell Crowe in his prime)
The Real John and Alicia Nash got divorced during the pick of his illness. Nevertheless, Alicia out of pity, let him live in their house. And during the filming of "A Beautiful Mind", they were married again.
Also Paul Bettany and Jennifer Connelly after the film became a married couple. -
Viss ir tavā galvā. Kārtējais fantastiskais un pagaidām vienīgais Rona Hovarda gabals, kas atnesis viņam Oskarus. Ceru, ka «Rush» arī sevi spēs pieteikt kā nopietnu filmu, ņemot vērā, ka visas citas filmas ar sacīkšu tēmu nav ieguvušas diez ko lielu atzinību.
Bija interesanti pavērot Raselu Krovu, jo man savulaik skolā bija pasniedzējs, kurš izrādīja teju ideniskus simptomus, tā kā šī filma daudz ko izskaidro viņa uzvedībā un dod iespēju tik tiešām novērtēt Krova talantu. -
Definitivamente EXCELENTE.
La mejor interpretacion por Crowe sin lugar a dudas.
Una pelicula que narra la interesantisima vida de John Nash y que va desde la frustracion hasta la gloria. Esta va directamente a mi top 4, tanto por la tematica, por la historia como por la realizacion de la pelicula y el producto final, sin lugar a dudas excelente esta pelicula (no por nada gano 4 Oscars en el 2001)
Me preguntan si la recomiendo? Que c*** haces que no la estas viendo responderia.

Instead of just portraying Nash as a schizophrenic, Howard tries to take you inside the mind of one. The results, unsurprisingly, are laughable.
