when an actor stars in a film that they also produced you have to assume that they really believe in the project . it’s not like the film is just another paycheck to them , so they don’t care how the film turns out ; they’re putting their own money on the line , and they’re hoping to get a good return on their investment . besides a reasonable budget and a good script , you don’t need much , but if you manage to land a couple of oscar® nominated actors for your film it couldn’t hurt your film right ? you take all of the elements and you’ll come out with a top notch low - budget horror film , right ? wrong ! no matter how many good actors and how much money you invest in a film , if it’s anything remotely like “house of bodies” it is going to be a piece of sh ! t movie . so let’s take a look at this week’s film “house of bodies” .

it was surprisingly difficult to write a cohesive description of this film’s plot , because for most of its runtime , house of bodies feels like two halves of two completely unconnected films clumsily spliced together . though there is one marginally clever reveal towards the end , the entire subplot involving the detective questioning bishop could have been cut from the film , and the whole thing might have been more cohesive for it . it feels as though they only had peter fonda for a day , because his appearance is part of a single elongated scene which we cut back to frequently ( and often randomly ) during the main plot to make it seem as if he’s in it more than he actually is . the tonal shift between these segments is jarring , and the non - chronological storytelling could have been used to much greater effect simply by bookending the film with killer bishop’s story rather than intercutting it .

speaking of bishop , the film educates us about his crimes by flashing up articles from newspapers with generic names like ‘the daily news’ . we won’t learn much though , considering that the bulk of these articles ( after the headline and the first couple of lines ) is not written in english –the editor makes the fatal mistake of leaving these up on screen long enough that the error is almost impossible to miss . if you’re too lazy to type a short article about your own plot without resorting to filler text , then you probably shouldn’t be making movies .

this slash thriller directed by alex merkin nd written by eddie harris has an impressive cast with terrence howard , queen latifah and peter fonda , but even they could not save it ! in 1 hour and 18 minutes you will satisfy an appetite for the grim and gruesome ( if you have one ) but in very sub - standard environment and execution . annoying music , boring story which is happening in a house where a serial killer once lived , terrible acting by most of the younger actors , lazy by the book directing . . . i am not sure where to start and when to stop naming all the sluggish elements of this movie !
but as mentioned earlier , bishop is not the focus of this film . as for the central plot , the idea of a twisted webcam show being recorded inside a serial killer’s former home sounds somewhat intriguing , and a filmmaker with greater flair might have taken this is an interesting direction . there are a few moments where we glimpse what could have been – despite a lick of paint , many of the rooms still contain chilling reminders of what happened there ( scratches on the walls , bloodstains ) . we’re told that the site’s owner doesn’t just do it for the money but genuinely loves the place , and has kept her room as authentic as possible . unfortunately , these moments are all too few , and we spend most of the runtime in kelli’s girly and brightly - lit bedroom . teddy bears and fairy lights – the horror !

a beautiful mind does not tell the whole truth about john nash - he was not a nice man . but it should still win an oscar
but hollywood requires more from its films than a few good performances ; it requires drama , action , romance , pathos , excitement . a beautiful mind makes a fair attempt to include all of these ingredients and the results obviously satisfied producers and film - goers alike - it won oscars for best film and best director . but for those expecting to see a film about mathematics it is unlikely to satisfy . early in the film , john nash describes himself as having
two helpings of brain and half a helping of heart

with strong character development and a stellar performance from russell crowe , a beautiful mind leaves it mark as one of the best movies ever about the effects of schizophrenia and the real mind behind it . just an absolutely shocking movie .
a beautiful mind is a 2001 american film based on the life of john forbes nash , a nobel laureate in economics . the film was directed by ron howard and written by akiva goldsman . it was inspired by a bestselling , pulitzer prize - nominated 1998 book of the same name by sylvia nasar . the film stars russell crowe as nash , along with jennifer connelly , ed harris and paul bettany .
a beautiful film ! the combination of akiva goldsman ' s economical screenplay and russell crowe ' s stunning performance as nobel prize winning mathematician john nash create a powerful , moving experience . the raw power of the film overcomes any minor flaws .
ron howard always manages to craft great films however with a beautiful mind he crafts his best film yet . when i first saw the film in my psychology class i wasn ' t a fan , however my cousin recommended that i watch it again so i did and he was right . i got a much better understanding of the film on a second viewing . the film tells the story of john nash a mathematic genius who gets diagnosed with schizophrenia . russell crowe gives the performance of a lifetime as john nash , to me he does a much better job in this film than the film made a year before this one gladiator ( 2000 ) which wasn ' t that good in my opinion ( and that film started russell crowe ' s career ) . jennifer connelly does an absolute marvelous job as alice nash to me both actors connelly and crowe give there best performance ' s in this film . the film is not only great but is also really smartly crafted and has a great twist in the middle of it . this is ron howard ' s best work since apollo 13 ( 1995 ) ( which is another great film ) . a beautiful mind is a classic film that should not be missed .
there are other , rather more troublesome , biopic distortions in a beautiful mind . the film ignores the ostracisation which nash suffered from other mathematicians ( his 1994 nobel was in economic science ) . it veils his divorce from alicia . as iris testifies , however beautiful the sufferer ' s mind , living with the mentally ill is often more than flesh and blood can bear .

nash ' s intriguing life and work would eventually be immortalized in the film a beautiful mind , which serves as a fictitious biography of nash starring russell crowe . though the film illustrated nash ' s work accurately , it took many liberties in terms of his life and , particularly , his mental illness ; nash seldom suffered from visual hallucinations despite what the film presented , and his discovery of the nash equilibrium was far less dramatic in reality . despite this , nash overall found the film acceptable :

i hope a beautiful mind does win . but that ' s mainly because i want drudge to lose . big time . and moulin rouge , now i think of it .
sylvia nasar’s 1998 biography “a beautiful mind” and the 2001 film it inspired documented nash’s academic accomplishments and the schizophrenia that almost cost him his family and his career . the film earned four oscars , including best picture and supporting actress jennifer connelly as alicia nash . the pic scored eight nominations in all , including russell crowe as john nash .

the film “ a beautiful mind ” characterizes the story of the brilliant mathematician john forbes nash who suffers from paranoid schizophrenia . this film was directed by ron howard and it ' s based on a true life story of the genius mathematician nash which is portrayed by the actor russel crowe . at the beginning of the film nash starts his career at princton university as a mathematics graduate student where he was well known for his intelligence . nash is an arrogant , awkward socially - inept mathematics student , who spent most of his time making an effort to discover a revolutionary equation in mathematics . at half way through the film , we discover that half of the places and situations that occur in the film are only illusions within nash ' s “beautiful” mind . this is when we determine that nash is suffering from a severe illness which is schizophrenia . one of the first imaginary characters that nash develops in his mind is his roommate charles herman , ( paul bettany ) a student of english literature .
he says the same to a student near the end of the film , offering half of his sandwich .

winner of 4 academy awards including best picture , a beautiful mind is an expertly crafted biopic based on the life of schizophrenic mathematician john nash & covers his struggle with his condition . although the artistic license taken here makes it far more cinematic than required , the film nonetheless succeeds as a touching , entertaining & satisfying experience .

this is just a sampling of his behavior depicting diversity of different orders as he treaded his life path . the movie has numerous examples of this diversity , spread over all the way until the last . it is this large behavior variance that perhaps motivated the director to decide to give the film the title of a beautiful mind .
“the only thing greater than the power of the mind is the courage of the heart . ”
unfortunately , very little of this comes across in a beautiful mind because the director ( ron howard ) seems more interested in making a film about a schizophrenic than a mathematician suffering from schizophrenia . at the start of the film we are shown a hollywood template of a typically obsessive young academic , introverted , socially inept , dismissive of his colleagues ' work . if the notes we see nash scribbling on his windows were chemical formulae or rhyming couplets rather than mathematical equations , the character would have seemed equally plausible .
review aggregator rotten tomatoes polled 205 critics and gave the film a 76 % approval rating , with an average rating of 7 . 2 / 10 . the website ' s critical consensus states ,

a beautiful mind
is a film about the mathematician john nash . it is very cleverly written and directed , as about mid - way through the film you learn something very , very interesting about the film . i ' d say more , but i don ' t want to ruin it - - especially since the film makers did such a great job in presenting nash ' s mental illness - - something he ' s struggled with for many years . i enjoyed
a beautiful mind
. it was a lovely semi - fictional biography of the life of a brilliant mathematician . but , as i just said , it ' s semi - fictional - - meaning a lot of the film just never occurred and the story of the man ' s life was often sanitized . the result is a very uplifting film . . . but one that is also a bit phony . and , as a retired history teacher , i hate this about the film . additionally , i think the 2002 oscars was a rather poor year , as although the film did win the best picture award , the competition wasn ' t particularly strong . as a result of all these factors , i think the film is overrated . does that mean you should not watch it ? certainly not . just understand that hollywood often gets it wrong - - and they did here . and , incidentally , another thing that is just plain wrong was russell crowe ' s accent . i don ' t know where he was supposed to be from , but it was no where near west virginia .

scriptwriters took liberties with the facts in nasar ' s biography . the book describes at length the common room where nash spent a lot of time with colleagues and students , but the movie doesn ' t touch on this .

the 2001 film
a beautiful mind
won four oscars , including best picture and best director , and generated interest in john nash ' s life story . the movie was based on an unauthorized biography by sylvia nasar , who wrote that nash ' s contemporaries found him
immensely strange
and
slightly cold , a bit superior , somewhat secretive .
eleanor stier , the abandoned woman , disagrees - as well she might - with the film that renders her invisible . the nash she knew was , she says ,
sort of mean
. the
real
nash , drudge asserts , has been a racist , sexually deviant , snobbish love rat . beautiful mind , lousy character .
beautiful mind is howard ' s best movie after apollo 13 , and it immediately follows his charmless  though commercially successful  children ' s movie from a year ago . to adult moviegoers , at least , the grinch has given christmas back .
what are your impressions of nash in the opening third of the film while he is attending graduate . . .
much as he did in apollo 13 , ron howard injects tension beyond reasonable expectation . you may know the outcome of this fact - based film , but howard cranks up excitement and keeps the audience on edge without sacrificing the human aspect . in a beautiful mind he weaves a love story , a history , and a thriller into a complicated web . each aspect is respected yet blends together to enhance the film as a whole . similarly , howard uses an interesting special effect ( nicely done by digital domain ) to illustrate nash ' s mathematical revelations , and with a subtle twist is able to use this effect to illustrate both a sense of wonder , and later in the film , a sense of horror , creating a nice parallel to how nash ' s gift became his curse .
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 .

not long ago , a movie star could drive a film ' s performance , deliver an opening weekend and drag it over the finish line . what happened ?
that chapter of their relationship did not make it into the hollywood version of their lives , the 2001 oscar - winning film
a beautiful mind
starring russell crowe and jennifer connelly . the film , which has been called
a piece of historical revisionism ,
also left out his child from a previous relationship and glossed over his reputation for being difficult to work with . but it drew accolades for its depiction of mental illness while bringing attention to nash ' s accomplishments , which earned him the 1994 nobel prize in economics .
on sunday john nash basked in adulation as a beautiful mind , the film based on his life , collected the oscar for best picture . but his reputation has recently taken a battering : he ' s been called an anti - semite , an adulterer and a lousy father . so what is the truth about the mathematical genius who recovered from decades of schizophrenia to win a nobel prize ? sylvia nasar , his biographer , knows better than most .
unreliable narrator : nash . to make it worse , the official film descriptions were written as if from his viewpoint .
howard pulls off an extraordinary trick in a beautiful mind by seducing the audience into nash ' s paranoid world . we may not leave the cinema with a level competence in game theory , but we do get a glimpse into what it feels like to be mad - and not know it . [ 30 ]
finally watched this movie ! to be honest , i was disappointed near the end when everything took on a slower pace and there are moments i thought was dragged on and too cheesy . nevertheless , this film tells an amazing story of the triumph and struggles of a brilliant mind .
during the five - day weekend of the limited release , a beautiful mind opened at the # 12 spot at the box office , [ 31 ] peaking at the # 2 spot following the wide release . [ 32 ] the film went on to gross $ 170 , 742 , 341 in the united states and canada and $ 313 , 542 , 341 worldwide . [ 1 ]
like his real - life counterpart , the movie nash is impatient with detail - oriented hack work , preferring to search out ' ' governing dynamics . ' ' the governing dynamic of ' ' a beautiful mind ' ' is sentimentality of a familiar and not altogether unwelcome kind . the movie can - - indeed , should - - be intellectually rejected , but you can ' t quite banish it from your mind .
in sylvia nasar ' s a beautiful mind , the experience of life and the rules of logic collide head on . in this strange and deeply moving biography , the young mathematical genius john nash ,
inventor of a theory of rational behavior

visionary of the thinking machine ,
loses his mind to schizophrenia — yet decades later reawakens to win a nobel prize for his earlier work and take up his own mathematical investigations again .
a poorly tailored trailer does not begin to describe what is one man ' s journey from the heaven of clear thought to the hell of schizophrenia . russell crowe does an excellent role as john nash , a mathematician who revolutionizes group theory , only to have his mind crash into confused and split views of the world . jennifer connelly is superb as his wife . it is through her that we begin to understand the range of problems and pittfalls nash is facing , most of his own devising . she deserves an oscar , period . the director has arranged beautiful ' red herrings ' to kept viewers guessing and it works suprisingly well . ron howard ' s best work to date . a beautiful movie to decribe a beautiful mind .
russell crowe is hollywood royalty . or at least he used to be . he ' s got an oscar under his belt and a string of critically acclaimed hit films —

a beautiful mind
is an exceptional story , but it is only and exceptional film because of its director . ron howard does an amazing job of engaging his audience , introducing a brilliant main character , and making the audience experience the reality of mental illness . this could have been an unbelievable story to which very people could relate ; however , the directorial mastery howard exhibits throughout allows the audience to accompany nash on his journey and awareness of his illness . anyone who has been close to the frailties of the human mind will appreciate how respectfully and honestly this film approaches the subject . howard is able to portray all the complex reactions to mental illness while maintaining the humanity and dignity of the patient . superbly directed , wonderfully acted by crowe and cast , this film succeeds on every level .
on this day in 2001 , a beautiful mind , starring the actor russell crowe as john forbes nash , a nobel prize - winning economist and mathematician who develops schizophrenia , opens in limited release in the u . s . directed by ron howard and co - starring jennifer connelly , ed harris and paul bettany , a beautiful mind opened in wide release on january 4 , 2002 , and went on to receive eight academy award nominations , including crowe’s third consecutive nomination for best actor , and collect four oscars , including best picture , best director and best supporting actress ( connelly ) . a beautiful mind , a critical and box - office success , was based on a best - selling 1998 biography of the same name by sylvia nasar that explored nash’s personal and professional life , including his work at princeton university , mit , the rand ( research and development ) corporation and his struggle with mental illness .
in 2002 , the film was awarded four awards at the 74th academy awards , for best adapted screenplay ( akiva goldsman ) , best picture ( brian grazer and ron howard ) , best director ( ron howard ) and best supporting actress ( jennifer connelly ) . it also received four other nominations for best actor ( russell crowe ) , best film editing ( mike hill and daniel p . hanley ) , best makeup ( greg cannom and colleen callaghan ) and best original score ( james horner ) .

the narrative of the film differs considerably from the events of nash ' s life , as filmmakers made choices for the sense of the story . the film has been criticized for this aspect , but the filmmakers said they never intended a literal representation of his life . [ 15 ]
what film can do - brilliantly - is convey the nightmare of paranoid schizophrenia . howard pulls off an extraordinary trick in a beautiful mind by seducing the audience into nash ' s paranoid world . we may not leave the cinema with a level competence in game theory , but we do get a glimpse into what it feels like to be mad - and not know it . as in shine , and rain man , the image of mental disability projected by movies is dangerously simplified : particularly this film ' s assertion that full - blown schizophrenia like nash ' s can be overcome by mere strength of mind . his late - life remission , in the 1990s seems to be more in the nature of an inexplicable miracle .
roger ebert of chicago sun - times gave the film four out of four stars . [ 27 ] mike clark of usa today gave three - and - a - half out of four stars and also praised crowe ' s performance , calling it a welcome follow - up to howard ' s previous film , the grinch .

on this day in 1967 , the film “the graduate” opens at two theaters in new york : the coronet on third avenue and the lincoln art theater on broadway . the film , based on a 1963 novel by charles webb , had a simple premise : as its screenwriter explained it , “this kid graduates . . .
i find the concept of expectations and whether or not they are met to be fascinating , especially in regards to film criticism . last night i finally saw the 2002 best picture winner a beautiful mind for the first time , a mere 12 years after its release , and without a doubt it is a very good film , one that was elevated to that level through pretty great performances throughout but especially from the two leads . russell crowe is john forbes nash jr . and jennifer connelly is alicia , a student in his class that stuns nash not just with her beauty but also the bold move she makes to solve a noise / temperature problem on his first day as her teacher . i truly…
hollywood nerd : with russell crowe playing an intellectual , this is a given , especially near the end of the film as he ages and starts to wear glasses .
as the director of the movie , howard knew how arrange the movie to convey a certain message . to make it seem like we were in nashs mind , he used shots that looked like they were shown through nashs point of view . to make parcher , marcee and charles look unreal , they used shots where no one is around and used shots where they looked like they have appeared from out of nowhere . as a result , a beautiful mind got an academy award in several categories .
most of the hardcover books stacked and toppled on the dusty shelves belonged to his parents . they include three copies of sylvia nasar ' s biography of his father ,

nash said he enjoyed book because ,
i learned a lot about
his father .
he never spoke about those things .
as portrayed in
a beautiful mind
, john nash is one scary dude . from the scene where he almost lets his infant son drown because he is convinced that his delusional friend charles is watching the infant while nash is elsewhere , to the one in which he very nearly assaults his wife in response to a voice telling him she is out to get him , the film portrays nash as a man who at any moment can cross over the line to where his delusional ideas create real tragedies .
after producer brian grazer first read an excerpt of sylvia nasar ' s book a beautiful mind in vanity fair magazine , he immediately purchased the rights to the film . he eventually brought the project to director ron howard , who had scheduling conflicts and was forced to pass . grazer later said that many a - list directors were calling with their point of view on the project . he eventually focused on a particular director , who coincidentally was available only when howard was also available . grazer chose howard .

a beautiful mind is a clichéd best picture winner with excellent performance as well as some moving and some very romantic scenes , but the editing is clumsy , the structure is very problematic , the third act is awfully prolonged and the movie is just too much by the numbers . it is definitely solid , but far from great and quite overrated .
like eternal sunshine of the spotless mind —of which her is a clear descendant—jonze’s film uses the tools of lightly scienced fiction to pose questions of genuine emotional and philosophical weight . what makes love real : the lover , the loved one , or the means by which love is conveyed ? need it be all three ?
some doctors are worried that schizophrenic patients who see the film might come to believe they ' re smart enough to beat their illness without medication .
as a psychology student who has spent thousands of hours talking about mentally ill people , i was eager to see
a beautiful mind
. i wanted to see if this would be the very first movie ever to portray people with schizophrenic illness in a sympathetic light , to avoid the usual stereotypes such as
really scary psychotic killer
or
impossibly weird bag person
the film , she added , portrayed the character as a woman with integrity and grit :
her fierceness and strength came through again and again . more female superheroes !

have memorably tackled the agonies of the mind but were from another era with relatively neat and tidy endings .
a beautiful mind
poignantly recognizes that not all nightmares have been vanguished yet and despite the movie ' s flaws russell crowe ' s performance is likely to make many more people sensitive to other ' s sensitivities , imaginings and bold mental leaps .
guest reviewer andrew stickland is a freelance writer and enthusiastic film - goer . he has written articles on subjects as diverse as travel and war - gaming , but up till now never on a mathematical topic .
while a beautiful mind is loosely based on the real life story of the genius mathematician , don ' t go into the theatre expecting an accurate biography . the film is a fiction that captures the essence of nash ' s life . screenwriter goldsman wisely pares down nash ' s experience to create a thoughtful and honest emotional narrative , with some thriller elements to create an interesting twist . although goldsman ' s screenplay may over - simplify nash in removing many of the awful aspects of his history it effectively keeps focus on the central theme .
while not completely accurate to the story of john nash , this film does an admirable job of making the audience feel what being schizophrenic is like .
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 .
if you don ' t mind the fact that this oscar - winning biography alters the real story considerably , it will certainly be a wonderful experience . full review on filmotrope . com
dave bayer , a professor of mathematics at barnard college , columbia university , [ 5 ] was consulted on the mathematical equations that appear in the film . for the scene where nash has to teach a calculus class and gives them a complicated problem to keep them busy , bayer chose a problem physically unrealistic but mathematically very rich , in keeping with nash as
someone who really doesn’t want to teach the mundane details , who will home in on what’s really interesting
. bayer received a cameo role in the film as a professor who lays his pen down for nash in the pen ceremony near the end of the film . [ 6 ]
few mathematics geniuses have ever served as the subject of a major motion picture , so john nash now has broken the mold both in his own profession and as the unlikely hero of “ a beautiful mind . ” consistently engrossing as an unusual character study and as a trip to the mysterious border - crossing between rarified brilliance and madness , this serious - minded but lively film is distinguished by an exceptional performance by russell crowe as the princeton prodigy who was beset by schizophrenia in the 1950s only to conquer the disease and win the nobel prize in 1994 . although the true tale has been somewhat conventionalized by very familiar “inspirational” storytelling techniques to the point where the picture will make nash as much of a folk hero as “shine” did of david helfgott , the film’s effective blend of intelligence and emotion will reach all manner of audiences , spelling a beautiful b . o . future for the latest entry in ron howard’s eclectic directorial resume .
is a touching film to experience . it ' s one of those rare features that envelopes you so much in the mind of the central character , that you come away feeling that you know , at least somewhat , what it must have been like to be him . - - - - - - - - - - alex kobak
based on the novel of the same name , the story of a beautiful mind begins in 1947 when the young john nash arrives at princeton university . eccentric but brilliant , nash graduates with flying colours , is hired by mit but begins exhibiting troubling symptoms of a mental illness which in the long run affects not only his personal & professional life but also those around him .
when john is asking his friend if he ' s been introduced to harvey he ' s referencing jimmy stewart ' s imaginary friend in the film harvey .
they were mourned online by russell crowe , who played the man in ron howard ' s 2001 film , which won four oscars and earned the actor a nomination for his leading role .
audiences and critics appear equally pleased with the film . it received a b - plus cinemascore from moviegoers ( 80 % families ) and has an 86 % positive rating on rotten tomatoes .
the sludge of the day is that the nobel prize - winning mathematician john nash - portrayed by crowe in a beautiful mind as a cuddly , unworldly , lovable nerd - has a dark side . he has been guilty of
jew bashing
( drudge ' s blunt phrase ) . then , while serving in 1954 with the cold war think - tank the rand corporation , nash was arrested doing a full - george michael in a santa monica public lavatory . he was dismissed as a security risk .
because costs were a concern ( the film had a lower budget than a typical hollywood production ) , scenes depicting mit and harvard were actually shot at bronx community college and at manhattan college , with the rest on location at princeton university in new jersey .
john nash has added his two cents to the controversy surrounding the film by flatly denying his schizophrenia to film - maker benita raphan . he is entitled to his opinions and maybe he does not relish the publicity his trials have generated . raphan , who is an expert on nash , showed her short film about john nash called
2 + 2
five times at the sundance film festival to sold - out audiences . after e - mail contact with nash for the past 14 months , an incredulous raphan says :
he hasn ' t seen our film . he ' s in denial about his schizophrenia .
it would be interesting to know if john nash has made any money out of the book or movie , as the box office and publishers coffers fill up . for more check urltoken .
montoya added that she was
surprised
by how good the film was :
i walked in thinking , ' ok , we ' re going to see explosions , and there ' s not going to be a lot of storytelling . '
considering her background in gender studies , she was particularly attuned to the film ' s gender politics and diversity .
none of the dark side of nash appears in ron howard ' s film ( nor , if it had , would crowe ' s agent have let him play the part ) . since nash is still living , and sane enough to sue , it is risky to sling this kind of mud . hence the drudge ruse . beautiful .
unlike sylvia nasar ' s splendid same - name biography , the factually sandpapered screen version of a beautiful mind is merely inspired by the traumatic life of mathematics genius and nobel prize winner john nash . that said , this is one inspir ing movie despite extremely tricky subject matter  better than shine and among the most affecting ever made about co - existing with mental demons .
a beautiful movie . it is a really clever drama , which is very touching and almost tear jerking . but what elevates it , is that it also has a genius plot twist . it is dramatic , psychedelic and without spoiling the twist , that part could have come out as show - y , but it actually makes the whole plot better . it shows a more complex character and a man who is in pain , but can ' t fight it . that ' s what makes this a film with a meaning . and damn russel crowe is brilliant in this movie !
