Excellent!

Rating: 9/10 (22 January 2002)

A Beautiful Mind is one of those movie that you can't stop thinking about it when you leave the theater.
Now, I must admit that I knew nothing about the movie before entering the cinema. The only thing I knew was that it was about a mathematician. Nothing else! And boy, was I happy not to know more!
This is a movie in two parts. In the first half, I was saying to myself: what is this, this movie is overrated, it's not that good, and so, and so. But then, everything comes to place (remember, I knew nothing about the film). And the second half more than compensate for the first. Put the two together, and you've got an excellent film.
Russel Crowe is just superb as John Nash. And what about Jennifer Connelly. She delivers an excellent performance. And she's one of the prettiest actress around. I find her acting to be very intense, just like in Requiem for a Dream (another great movie).
Of course, the movie doesn't tell all the story about John Nash. Doing a little be of research on the Net after, made me realized that some aspect of his life were omitted and other a little bit changed. But it's a movie, what can you do!
Out of 100, I gave it 88. That's good for *** stars on a **** stars rating system.
Seen in Toronto, at the Cineplex Odeon Varsity Cinemas, on January 21st, 2002. Marko Roy.
