not Oscar material

Rating: Null/10 (7 March 2002)

What is this film actually about - the story of John Nash or a study of schizophrenia? In the end it winds up being neither.
Why when they "fictionalize" some things do they have to mess around with the timeline. As if for some reason moving events back 5 years makes any difference to the story!
Yes Nash did win a Nobel Prize in 1994, for Economic Sciences not mathematics - and it was shared with John Harsanyi and Reinhard Selten but the film omits this.
