How can this not be the best movie of the year?

Rating: 9/10 (12 February 2002)

Do not listen to others who say schizophrenia cannot go into remission, for John Nash, in real life it did just that. The best movie of the year and one of the top movies of all time. Written beautifully, with acting that is truly outstanding, the movie is unsurpassed in giving viewers an insight into the horrific chasm one faces with this type mental illness. Russell Crowe accurately lives this character. Equalling or topping Dustin Hoffman's performance in "The Rain Man". (If you ever see any youthful pictures of Nash he even looks a lot like Crowe)
This is a story of an affable but quirky young mathematician destined to be one of the top two or three scientific minds of the twentieth century slowly losing reality to schizophrenic delusions. Crowe's portrayal of this character's struggle with the demons, and his emotional relationship with his young wife Alicia, played by Jennifer Connelly, will leave you on the edge of your seat. Director Ron Howard's suspenseful crafting of the torments and delusions plaguing Nash are both masterful and insightful.

Go see the movie!
