A provocative masterpiece of the 00's.

Rating: 9/10 (6 January 2010)

Well, this is a film which definitely belongs in top 250 IMDb, even in the first 100 if i think right.Why isn't it there, is beyond me.
First, the plot is very clever, mind-blowing actually.Then, the actors did a great job, Russell Crowe at his best performance so far if you ask me, I always liked Jennifer Connelly because of her amazing talent in acting, combined with a quite simple, but so rare beauty, as for Ed Harris, well, he's one of my all time favourites.
It's true, the film may be a little confusing for some of you, if not most of you, but that's life, not all films go for the money.Seems like nowadays, it's all that matters: money, money, money.It's not about fame and cinematography success anymore, like once was, it's all about the money, and I personally hate this materialism. Well it's not the case here, because A beautiful mind is a very provocative, intelligent drama which may not be receptive to mass public, a possible reason for it's poor rating.I loved the thin line between reality and fantasy, between health and mental illness, line which becomes clearer and clearer as we approach the end, i might say a tragic, but not so tragic one - depending on every ones judgment.
Last but not least, what i find of particular importance is the message this drama delivers: when you can't defeat schizophrenia or any other illness, acceptance can be just as comforting as the hope for a miraculous cure.
All being said I hope I made my point, A beautiful mind is without a doubt in my mind, the most intense and provocative film of the 00's so far, and i rate it 9/10.
