Drama at its best!

Rating: 10/10 (11 January 2007)

I love movies. Good movies, bad movies, all kinds of movies. But only a select few evoke an emotional response in me. The rest are simple entertainment. This movie proved to be a truly emotional experience. I walked out of the theater wondering if the people around me were actually there, doubting my own sanity. For a short while after having watched this film I developed a fascination for John Nash. Latter I heard him interviewed on NPR and was thrilled by both his brilliance and humor. That interview only made the movie even more dear to me, bringing home once again the reality of it all. The only movies I can think of to compare with "A Beautiful Mind" are Cassasblanca and The Wizard of Oz. Oh, I understand that the three have nothing in common as per plot, setting, etc. But they have THIS in common ... They are cinematic art at its finest. Thats what "A Beautiful Mind" is. Art, great art. The cast, Russel Crowe in particular, are perfect in their roles. All other aspects, script, lighting, sound track, photography, ALL of it, Perfect. It just doesn't get any better than this.
