Makes you think...

A beautiful mind is quite unique in its sort. The movie is about the famous mathematician John Nash, who we all know him from his famous "prisinor's dilemma" and other economical theories. After being a nerd with a cause in uni (Princeton, US), he comes up with a controversial theory about "governing dynamics". In the movie you see a great example of the prisinor's dilemma mentioned earlier: Four guys are sitting in a bar, they all see a bunch of girls but one chick stands out and all four like her. In stead of all going after one girl and end up alone, it would be better to do what's best for yourself and the group. So you choose one of her girlfriends and you all have sex. Makes you think...
Anyway, doctor Nash marries a student, gets a kid and becomes schizo. Shiver.. shiver.. Nicely filmed but in the end, alas, the film becomes a hollywood flick (e.g. the really lame part where he gets all the pens.. dude!).
All by all it's still a great movie and it definitely prooves for me that economics students as well as mathematicians are by nature a little 'twisted in the mind' ;)
Thank you mr. Ron Howard.
