Marvelously inventive story of an extraordinary man

Rating: 10/10 (7 December 2001)

A Beautiful Mind embraces the magic of movie making, combining purpose with picture. Crowe is phenomenal - once again proving the playboy from Australia can be the coveted chameleon of the camera. In this picture, Crowe is an awkward jerk who blossoms into a multi-faceted man of courage and inward strength. How Ron Howard develops this plot is at once a mock of convention and an invention of beauty. GO SEE THIS MOVIE! The world needs more films like this one. Be wowed and confused until you walk away with a better understanding of a life so much more unusual (and fulfilling) than your own.
