A Beautiful Dream

Rating: 10/10 (4 March 2009)

Russell Crowe said the following winning his academy award: "You know, when you grow up in the suburbs of Sydney or Auckland or Newcastle like Ridley Scott or Jamie Bell or the suburbs of anywhere, a dream like this seems vaguely ludicrous and completely unattainable. But this moment is directly connected to those childhood imaginings, and for anybody who is on the downside of advantage and rely purely on courage -It's possible" This movie tells a story of an impossible dream, the dream that John Nash someday might become what we refer to as "normal". The intelligence of Nash is obvious, and therefore it is no surprise that he discovers groundbreaking theories (his own original idea). However, the development of Nash is the centre of the entire picture, and Ron Howard has done a great job making these images possible. It's a great mystery to me that Crowe didn't win an academy award for this movie, his performance is excellent and flawless. The fact that Nash receives the Nobel Prize at the end of the movie shows us, the spectators, that with courage, heart, and soul our dreams are within reach. So therefore with the words of Crowe: "It's possible!"
