not so good for a biopic of a genius .

Rating: Null/10 (27 May 2002)

A beautiful mind , as an Oscar winner , is not as good as it had been prised. Cleanly photographed , laboured acted , the movie revealed some parts of the grim world in the mind of Nash . Wereasly , the depiction is more suitable in a thriller such as the Sixth Sense , for a biopic , it's too superficial and unrealistic . The movie didn't well convey how the hero worked in the parallel worlds of delusion and reality , and it didn't get us to know what the genius gained , or what makes him so great out of all the tortures in his life . I think it would be better if this movie pay more effort to visualize the famous "game theory" which brought Nash a Nobel , rather than stick in the phantoms occasionally walk though the screen/hero's mind . Crow's perform has precisely done what the director want , but has not reached all the dimensions of " the beautiful mind " . For make sense of a schizophrenic view of world , Crow often resort to impersonations , ladling on odd , eccentric mannerisms because he can's get inside the characters . A beautiful mind is just a so-so drama , because the director Ron Howard lack of something real extremeness and darkness inside .
