Am I losing MY mind??

Rating: 10/10 (7 January 2002)

This is what I was asking myself in the midst of the film. Thus, I have to give Ron Howard a big pat on the back for this gem. If there ever was a 10 movie, this is it. A Beautiful Mind easily makes my top 10 list of all time. Crowe's performance is unbelievable! Is this the same guy who put an end to the Roman empire just a year ago? **SPOILER** In most movies that deal with someone battling a mental illness, you see the person from an external standpoint. Thus, it becomes hard to truly relate to his or her situation. However, Mr. Howard just about leads the audience to believe that they are out of touch with reality right along with John Nash. ** END OF SPOILER Suspense, drama, romance, comedy, what more can you ask for? How about this -- Best Director (Opie Cunningham), Best Actor (Maximus who?), and Best Picture.
