Summary: Beautiful Mind
Review: Beautiful Mind is a true story about John Nash, a brilliant mathematics scientist with a schizophrenic presonality. His schizophrenic side made him believe that he had a best friend and a top secret governmental job which required him to dicipher secret codes of the Russians from newspaper and magazine cuttings. He met his wife, who was his stuednt , fell in love with her but never once did he tell about his secret government job,nor introduce her to his best friend meet, His illness was discovered and he was sent to a center where psychological illnesses were to be treated. He got out of the center after a while and found a small job at Princeton University. He closed himself up to the world of mathematics. finally, one day, a student sought his help in math and slowly, Nash opened up to the students and helped tutor them. His mathematical discovery eventually won him the Nobel Prize and the respect of the world. I was touched by the movie in two different aspects. First ,it showed me that anything is possible. If someone with a major psychological illness could win a Nobel Prize, how can I not be a far greater person than I am how? second, despite all of the Nash's shortcomings his wife stood faithfully by his side. It further made me believe in the power of love and the divinity of marriage. Nash could only have gone through his trials with the love and support of his wife. She taught him that love was all that mattered. It did not matter what others thought of him. I enjoyed this movie.It was very confusing but extremely sentimental at the same time.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: The movie A Beautiful Mind
Review: The movie "A Beatiful Mind" is reali great. We could see that genius John F,> Nash was godd with mathematics and physics, and cuold get a good job as professor at the Massachusetts College and also married one of his studen ts. But for reazon he saw 3 different unreal people thet tried to help him, but they didin't really . This situation brought to his life and his wife too. So he lost almost everything; than he had epecial medical attention for several years. Nevertheless, through time he worked with himself to again be was in the past.
I really enjoyed this movie. One of the things that I like was the happy end. Even though the genius John Nash had trouble , he improved himself with hard work, and maybe he couldn't be the same person, but he didi his best and was awarded with the Novel Prize in 1994. It was wonderful. Also his wife loved him so much and she supported him to the end.
In short, I suggest that you have the opportunity to watch this movie because it teaches us how we can improve ourselves trough sacrifice even trought If we fallen.

Summary: A Beautiful mind is a beautiful movie......
Review: I knew that this movie was based on fiction. But I've got something to be made me think hard. John F. Nash is a real character. He is a famous economist. Also he made a great contiribution towards economy and mathematics. In the end he won a Nobel Prize for economics in 1994.
But this movie focuses on his inner life. He had the ability to collect and arrange numbers and letters. He was a genius, but he was schizophrenic. He had confounded real things with imaginary things. He wanted to escape from the sticky situation. Finally he found the solution and overcome a dease.
I majored in economics at university. Well, I have been taught his theories. But I was more interested in his self-consciousness than his achievements. Whoever has handicap that is unwilling to be concealed. It is apt to be difficult to overcome such a thing. This movie shows us the way to solve and the importance of making much of ourselves.
If you have some problems, watch this movie!...And it'll help you to solve the questions. Try it right now!!

Summary: A Beautiful Mind
Review: Russell Crowe, impressive muscle man in Gladiator, became the genius mathematician in this film. John Nash, the main character, entered in Princeton University. He always njoyed making new theories alone. One day, his genius was acknowledged, and he took part in solving a password in pentagon. From this time, he started suffering from an obsession, in which he was always being watched from Russian. He always had a virtual image every where. We can't know what real affairs were until the middle of this film.
Finally, the genius mathematician recognized his mental disease. With his wife's self-sacrifice, he overcame the mental barrier occupied with a virtual image. In last, he said to the man who let him know that he won the Novel prize "I'm crazy". Then, many other scholars around him put their pen on the table in front of him, which was expression of admiration for the scholar of greater achievement.
We will see the most impressive scene this moment from the genius looks like abnormal man. I would like to recommend this emotional film because of the concentration of his attention for mathematic is able to overcome his handicap.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Tricky story
Review: I think this movie was kind of tricky because we didn't understand until the middle of the story. He met real people and unreal people, but finally it became clear. I think this is interesting point of this movie. After watching this movie, it gave us a feeling about "True love"and we will think about mental patients, love and what is most important in our life.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Good movie!
Review: This movie is very interesting. I think this movie is a true story and the story is very mysterious. Dr. Nash is a very sad man because he had a disease because of his intelligence, but he could win the Nobel Prize after he had a lot of experience about his disease. His wife is also kind to him. She had been helping him to recover from his disease. Though he saw some non-real people, he could recover from his disease. I learned that it was possible to recover from the any serious problem. I strongly recommend you to watch this movie more than once.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: A Beautiful Movie
Review: It's easy to be critical of the portrayal of schizophrenia if you understand it well, or if you are schizophrenic yourself. However, I know little about the subject. Further, I know very little about John Nash's life. Therefore, any criticism related to either I must ignore because of the beauty of the movie and the triumph of the character.

John Nash is one of those very rare people on spaceship earth: a true genius. The movie does a pretty decent job at providing examples of his genius. There's no need to dwell on the subject, because it's pretty evident from his mannerisms that this guy is in a place that you and I will never truly understand.

Russell Crowe is more than good in the role of John Nash, he is truly outstanding. As I compare his performance in "Gladiator" to his performance in this movie, which stretches his abilities significantly in areas that "Gladiator" merely explored, I have come to realize that Russell Crowe is a one of the great actors of our time. Perhaps schizophrenia is not as seamless as portrayed in the movie, but with 120 minutes to work with, I was thoroughly convinced.

I was also very absorbed by the choice that Nash made. He could either keep taking the medication, or choose to fight his problem and regain his mathematical abilities, and some control over his life. He chose the second. To make such a choice reminded me of Charlie in a similarly poignant story, "Flowers for Algernon" by Daniel Keyes, which was the basis for the movie "Charley" with Cliff Robertson. Only in that story Charlie had no choice he could make other than to fight. In a way, Nash fought and never truly won, but was able to overcome his difficulties well enough to be functional.

Jennifer Connelly, who I enjoyed in "Labyrinth", "The Rocketeer" and "Dark City", among others, is all grown up and performs at the same level as Russell Crowe, well deserving of an Oscar. Jennifer too deserves the appellation of "great". She will definitely be in high demand in the future. By the way, she is prettier than she has ever been.

This edition of the movie features 2 discs with all kinds of extras. I don't quite understand why the full screen edition costs more than the wide screen edition (which is what I purchased), but either is worth the price. I won't bother to give you all the extras you get, but there is a lot.

I found that at the end of the movie I got a bit teary-eyed, and my wife did not. After discussing the movie with several other people, I found that for some reason this movie tends to be more emotional for men than women. I was unable to find a good reason for this, but I find the phenomenon interesting, since usually it is the other way around. My point is that if you found the ending moving and left you with a really good feeling, then you probably understood the movie and this is clearly a movie you should own. If you sat there and said to yourself, "What in the heck was that all about?", then this isn't the movie for you.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: he saw the world in a way no one could have imagined
Review: a bispic of the meteoric rise of john forbes nash jr , a math prodigy able to solve problems that baffled the greatest minds. and how he overcame years of suffering through schizophernia to win the nobel prise.
be warned
you will be board for at least half this film

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Very good, but not as good as "Fight Club"
Review: "Beautiful Mind" is intelligent, witty, and delightfully weird for a Ron Howard movie. It really got me thinking about the fragility of our perceptions of reality. If you like the weirdness you'll love "Fight Club", which is a better, cleverer movie and features a performance by Brad Pitt that puts Crowe to shame.
