It is a great sacrifice to be a genius.

Rating: 9/10 (24 February 2002)

Why? Why can't there be a genius who is a normal person in the same time? Why can't he be sane,and why can't he have normal human interaction...a normal social life? Well,because a genius is not a normal person.He is uniqe. The story of John Nash(Russel Crowe) is extremly sad and special in the same time.To be a genius means automaticly to suffer huge emotional pain.And this is how John's life is going to be.Great people usually suffer of mental illneses...why? This is a question that has been giving trouble to humanity.Three letters,one world, millions of answers.Why? John Nash is a genius and he surely has all the "characteristics"...everything.An obvious genius! With a touching story,a story where the most intense feeling a human could feel solves all the problems.Love. Love is the most beautiful emotion,and it can always do miracles.A mathematician lives a life where numbers represent everything.Numbers,ecuations, drawings.Logic...does it really solve anything? The movie is perfect! The actors are great,and the plot is eventful.As all people, John has his ups and downs.And through his will,he survives.But the problem is...the will can't change all.Some things can not be changed.Yet,people continue to break rules,we all thought were unbreakable...there are an infity of ways to lose, but there's only one way to win...but does it all come down to winning? Does it? John Nash is an example that if you want,you can.Despite all the barriers you have to break,you can. Geniuses come rare.And they rarely come alone.Because alone...alone is certain death.The lack of interactivity with other humans is fatal.And we can surely see this here. The power of the heart is stronger than the power of the mind.But they are in a continuos fight.We have to decide who wins. It is a superb movie, and I must say I havent's seen many as good as this. And to the Oscar business...I am really wondering if someone will have the brains to see how good this was. I haven't seen The Lord of the Rings yet.I will next week.And I will decide by myself how many intelligent people are on this world. This movie shows a life that few of us have,and that very few can understand. With the help of his wife,Alicia( Jennifer Connelly) John will be able to defeat his imagination, his imaginary friend Charles(Paul Bettany), Parcer(Ed Harris) and his fear.In life you have to do great sacrifices...being a genius involves more than usual.It is hard.Very hard to fight agianst yourself.But if you are strong,you win!
