Doesn't anyone get who the Beautiful Mind is??

Rating: Null/10 (27 September 2009)

To all; When I first saw it, I wasn't the same. I couldn't shake the knowledge that I had seen for the first time in my life the same kinds of pictures and moving graphics of information that I have visualized everyday since I was 13 or so, (40 yrs ago). I also got the same reaction with the movie "stranger than fiction". But as I was watching it tonight again, identifying with the ache to be somebody significant and the hunger to understand it all (the governing dynamic), I finally saw a huge connection in the movie. To make it easy, run the film backwards in your head, Charlotte Church singing about someone who will protect, nurture, and "see you through the night", and then Nash's comments from the podium that his wife's love was what made all the logic possible. In every scene with Nash's wife she is in the guardian/caretaker role. Remember how smart she was- attempting to solve that unsolvable function - Nash said how elegant her work was.... The truth of the film is that Jennifer Connelly's character IS the Beautiful Mind - hers is the one that ordered his universe and her love that made his mind possible to carry on. Listen to the last 5 mins of the movie again.. It is clear. Now on the other hand - Howard is a great director and, as I said above, I see connections others don't - I always have. Maybe he didn't intend such a connection - but her steadfast, continual (in spite of her doubts) love and devotion (remember what she says when asked how she is doing)was the centering, pivotal presence in the movie. Her's was the Beautiful Mind.
