A Beautiful Film

Rating: 9/10 (2 December 2005)

This is a really wonderful film, I applaud Ron Howard, Brian Grazer, James Horner and of course, Russell Crowe and Jennifer Connelly for masterly bringing the subject of John Nash to life. Ron Howard has done some really great films before (including Willow and Apollo 13) but this is probably his best. With Russell Crowe, he was able to convey how John Nash thought when he looked at numbers (you saw numbers flash to life here and there as the camera moved around John Nash), while the beautiful piano ballad and Charlotte Church's voice accentuated the musical atmosphere created by James Horner. Though the film does go on a bit too long, the other aspects of it truly make up for it. Hope you have the chance to see this beautiful film.
