Exceptional and Tear-jerking Movie

Rating: 10/10 (2 September 2018)

"A Beautiful Mind" is a great example of amazing direction to an interesting story. The work of John Nash may not seem all that interesting when told by a normal person, BUT, the direction makes the story pop. The performance from Russel Crowe was superb. Overall, this movie nearly brought tears to my eyes in multiple scenes. The success of Nash in the beginning of the movie set it up to be happy-feel good movie, but devolving into mental illness turned the film on its head and gave more life than what I originally expected. The ending brings tears to my eyes. Sadly, the only thing I was frustrated with was that I only discovered the movie now, instead of years prior. Amazing movie, would definitely recommend.
