A BEAUTIFUL MIND ***_ Drama / Dir: Ron Howard / Russell Crowe, Jennifer Connelly, Ed Harris
In the 1950s, a Mathematical genius develops an innovative new
theory of economics. The film follows John Nash's life through four
decades -- from college, through bouts with schizophrenia,
marriage, career problems, and finally to his winning the Nobel
Prize in Mathematics.
BEAUTIFUL MIND is very well done. It chronicles the high points
as well as the many low points in Mr Nash's life, without dwelling
too heavily on the negative. No doubt some facts were glossed
over to prevent the film becoming too depressing. The audience
gets a first-hand look at John's fantasy world as well as his
attempts to control it. The film is never boring, and surprisingly
upbeat.
One car chase and one small nuclear explosion. Definitely worth
seeing.
