Looking through the window of the mind

Rating: 10/10 (13 July 2005)

The film A Beautiful Mind shows that the human mind is capable of creating its own reality separate and apart from the physical reality. The film showed how a illusionary reality could exist parallel to the real reality. Russell Crowe played excellent portrayal of Dr. John Nash an award winning scholar and mathematician genius The story was based on a real life: and director Ron Howard did an excellent job in shooting the film. The movie was not about the life of Dr. John Nash" but it was about his mind A Beautiful Mind is a must see I have not seen a movie like this one with so much passion in creating a sense of reality: but at the same time making an illusion appear real The movie was very powerful in bringing its point across to the viewers. I would recommend A Beautiful Mind as a study guide for psychology majors because it is a good discussion piece. This movie reminds me of a powerful drama based on a real life story that came out in 1977. The name of the movie was Sybil, directed by Daniel Petrie. A Beautiful Mind is about the human mind and inner conflict, it makes you think and want to know more about the mysteries of the human mind... John refused to allow his delusions to take control as he gained back control over his life. The delusions became powerless, but they stayed with him, always lurking, waiting and watching, in the shadows of his mind. In conclusion my overall appreciation for the film and the theme's importance to the film is how the story was portrayed; giving the viewers a real sense of what mental illness must have been like for John Nash. The film was entirely based on the concept of the power of the mind and how John became a prisoner of his own mind.
Looking out of the window of the mind: and working in the confines of his mind John live in two worlds: but one world only exists in his mind. The film gave me a better understanding and appreciation of the seriousness of mental illness and the devastating effect it can have on a person's life. The film showed that in the mind of the beholder in this case, John Nash; the physical as well as the illusionary world could exist parallel to one another. The film also showed how the illusionary world could take over and become precedent over the physical world. The film A Beautiful Mind was a story about mysteries the human mind.
