I wonder how much of this bio tale is accurate. The first half, full of paranoid fantasies, was somewhat entertaining, but the whole thing evolved into a disappointing "feel good" ending. There is absolutely nothing about mental illness that ever "feels good". Ron Howard beat out Robert Altman for this mess? What a travesty! Mr. Howard didn't know what to do once he let us know that the character was just imagining the best part of the drama. I wanted to know more about how Dr. Nash spent his "just hanging out" time at Princeton. Like most people, I am intelligent enough to understand more about Dr. Nash's work than the movie let us see.Sam Neil, not Russell Crowe, was the best actor in the picture. And why was the woman who played the wife even nominated for an Academy Award? Granted, she is very pretty and had one scene where she actually lost her genteel temper, but it was not award winning acting. The Academy must have been desperate for nominees. Will someone please explain why Russell and so many other actors have to mumble their lines? Is line mumbling some new hip style that I am too un-hip to recognize?
