Touching and deep, nevermind if it's "fake"

Rating: 9/10 (5 May 2002)

I saw this movie almost by chance, under pressure of friends, and i'm SO glad i did. Now, months later, with all the rumor about it, i feel like sharing some impression. I heard a lot of polemics about it skipping a lot of the real life of John Nash, and i am a heavy sustainer of true biographies. But i will make an exception this time: it was a good choice. Because putting all sorts of kinky details would have over-noised (did i invent the word now?) what was the real aim of the movie, which is to show what "a beautiful mind" can do, including helping itself. Moreover, i am a math teacher myself, so i could appreciate even some math humor which someone could have lost. Even if i don't agree with Academy Award choice (but who does, every time?), this is DEFINITELY a VERY good movie.
