Rating: 10/10 (10 August 2002)

The movie is about the life of a very talented and gifted mathematician, in fact a unique nobel laureate. It presents his life in which he produces his seminal work which enables him to take on a position at princeton. During which and in the cold war he is included in the effort to counter the effort of the russians .. he makes great strides forward in code breaking and thwarting an effort by the soviets to exploding a portable nuclear bomb in the USA.
However, this as in life for the paranoid-schizophrenic takes a big nose dive as in "total recall" . the whole grasp on reality is questioned ... this is the story of a fight with a debilitating illness which is only truely defeated by the love and reality between John Nash and his wife Alicia, and in essence their ability to have and to hold through the good and the bad. And in summary how love overcomes and defeats all .. or well can do ... a truely inspiring, educational, and heart warming movie ...
