Rating: 8/10 (29 January 2002)

I never thought a film about a math. prof can be interesting. But here it is. This film is one a few films that I have seen recently that had characters that seemed important and I (and the audience in general) cared about. Partly because it is about a real person, unlike Harry Potter, and partly because of Crowe's acting. He bring to life a man that anyone who has taken economics knows his name, but unlike other famous experts that one sees on TV or reads his columns, I am thinking of Samuelson's columns in Newsweek, we hardly know anything about Nash. I learned a lot about him from the film, and I sure hope he is fully recovered. I just wish we had more films like this than Harry Potter or Star Wars.
