Good Movie

Rating: Null/10 (15 August 2002)

A Beautiful Mind was definitely a different movie. Its pleasant surface is cleverly concealed by a disturbing underlying truth. John Nash, played by Russell Crowe, is a genius who touches the brink of insanity during his personal and professional life. It is evident that his mind is beautiful because his theories are impressive and his thought process, intriguing. Spoilers. My favorite part would have to be when John calculates the odds concerning women and mingling and works out a fruitful scenario that would benefit the whole group. This is an example of how the movie depicts its premise in an impartial way; and I enjoyed this in every respect. I think the movie accomplishes what it set out to do and left me with more than I came with. The ending touched a chord; I enjoyed the movie and believe its Oscar is well deserved.
