A masterpiece

Rating: 10/10 (17 January 2018)

"Classes will dull your mind, destroy the potential for authentic creativity." A Beautiful Mind shows that Russel Crowe is a very complete actor. Not only can he play a ruthless by vengeance driven gladiator or a brutal cop, but he also delivers as a brilliant but asocial mathematician. He's not an actor, who turns everything he touches into gold, but he shines in a handful amazing movies. A Beautiful Mind has a great plot, where half of the time I don't even no what to think or believe. At times the movie grabs you by the throat and it doesn't let go. It's really intense. It's such a sad film also, and you sympathize with both main characters. The beautiful Jennifer Connelly plays Russell Crowe's wife and she shows so much loyalty, but on the other hand, she doesn't have much of a choice. She can't leave someone in that state. Hopefully this doesn't spoil to much. They are of course adopted from a real story, and maybe that's why they're such deep and well written characters. Jennifer Connelly did such an amazing job performing in this movie. While watching it, I thought to myself that she should have won an Oscar for it, to later find out she actually did. Ron Howard won the Oscar for best Director. He did a really great job and it's well deserved. I especially like the soundtrack. He uses such calm background music and it fits perfectly. It gives a real sad, but also soothing vibe. The last couple of scenes gave me so many chills (in a good way), even watching it for the second time. A Beautiful Mind is a beautiful movie. 9,6/10.
