Beautiful Mind or maybe something else??

Rating: 8/10 (12 October 2005)

Russell Crowe was a good choice on portraying John Nash, but he should have done his research on Schizophrenia or the type of therapies that were done on patients with schizophrenia. This was the basic "Hollywood" view on people that have schizophrenia, even though Russell Crowe did a good job acting wise, there was a lot of information that wasn't told about John Nash, that would help the background of the movie, for instance that schizophrenia was shown in other family members, so it was genetic. I feel that the movie could have been set up a little differently, but movies that are based on true stories always hold things out. I guess no one really wants to watch a five-hour movie. Overall I give the movie an 8 out of 10.
