Truly deserved the Oscars for the Best Picture but ...

Rating: Null/10 (27 March 2002)

This movie is really great and it is TOO great to be true.I don't have any idea how much of it was real and how much was added by imagination(ofcourse with the permission of the real character: John Nash ) by Akiva Goldsman,but it truly deserved the Academy Awards for the Best Picture, Best Director, Best Screenplay and Best Supporting Actress.I think that Crowe's performance too was GREAT.But I think that the Oscar for the Best Actor in a Leading Role deservedly went to Denzel Washington who has done a terrific job in Training Day.That Denzel Washington should have won it long back is an altogether different issue.For anyone who thinks that the Oscar juries' decision for the Best Actor is biased, I think that opinion is ridiculous.The Juries take their decisions strictly by MERIT and nothing else.Russell Crowe's performance was great but that of Denzel Washington's was greater.
Ironically, NOBODY took any objection when : 1. Raging Bull lost to Ordinary People in the (1980-81) Academy Awards. 2. Very less people raised their eyebrows when Shakespeare In Love was preferred to Saving Private Ryan for the year (1998-99). 3.Also what about the decision when Kevin Spacey won inspite of Denzel Washington's mighty performance in the title role of 'The Hurricane(1999)' ??? Acording to me the above three decisions were questionable(and there are still some more too but that's enough for now.) So I think that any objection to Denzel's win is merely either due to jealousy or due to lack of acknowledgement to superior talent.
Anyway,this movie is something we can call a MASTERPIECE and I give it a 8/10 rating.
