A Beautiful Movie for a Beautiful mind.

Rating: 9/10 (5 January 2002)

Not so eloquent as other comments. All I can say is my wife went in with some expectations but both agree this is a Beautiful movie for a Beautiful mind. Some are disappointed about the lack of emphasis on his Math and theories but the message of the movie cannot just be about what he has accomplished in his field.
The fact that he is still functioning, contributing and survived this condition is incredible. The Faith of his wife is inspiring. Many talented Actors went into this production. The faith required and performances given are also inspiring. We had never heard of their story before so we had no pre-judgements in the way. We are so glad it reached the screen.

Crowe received an Oscar last year when a few others, including Ed Harris probably deserved it. This performance goes so far beyond Maximus there is no comparison. He must be in the top 5 contenders for Oscar.
Connolly is so beautiful and yet has been in only a few good roles. With Ed Harris last year and now this one prove beyond a shadow of doubt she CAN really act. We hope to see in more movies and not just as window dressing. If not nominated - a real shame.
Such a powerful ending. If only we could have seen a picture of them both at the end.
A true 10 of a movie and so worth seeing.
