A fairly good movie,but overrated!

Rating: 7/10 (31 March 2002)

How "A Beautiful Mind" won the Best Picture Oscar for 2001 is beyond me.Still,it was good to some degree.I heard a lot about that it is not an accurate movie about John Nash.A more accurate portrayal would have been more compelling than what seems to be a movie that has its moments in the first half, but grows repetitive once it reaches the point where John Nash has his mental breakdown.
Russell Crowe did good work,but Jennifer Connelly deserved her Oscar for Best Supporting Actress.
The music score was okay,but nothing special.
The makeup people did a very nice job with the last part of the movie where John and Alicia Nash were older.
The movie is somewhat on the slow side but not excessively so.
Overall,it is not a bad movie,but not one of the better winners of the Oscar for Best Picture that I have seen. Let us hope that someone does a mini-series about John Nash that sticks to the facts about him,but I am not counting on it!
I give "A Beautiful Mind" a rating of 7/10.Good,but not great.
