Well, I just have to disagree

Rating: 6/10 (23 August 2002)

It is funny to think about how you sometimes disagree with the norm, and will I only stay proud on those occasions. I just wrote about `The Messenger: The Story of Joan of Arc', which I loved, but most people hated. And the next evening I watched this film, with 4 Oscars to pride itself of. I had also heard so many people praise it, falling over Russell Crowe and his performance here. Maybe I was just in the wrong mindset or something, but the filmed bored me to tears. I never really felt, while watching the movie, that John Nash was a genius, nor did I like his character (which I think was important while watching him struggle through his schizophrenia). The character building of his wife was horrible, as it leaves you wondering what on earth she saw in the man. This film is one more example of `either you get it, or you don't'. I completely missed it! 6/10
