A brilliant film, better than I would of thought

Rating: 9/10 (4 March 2002)

I knew this was a good movie, but I was expecting a typical Ron Howard film-cookie-cutter, ordinary, usual good movie, nothing special in terms of creative expression. Boy, was I wrong! Howard has impressively changed his usual style and become much more artistic and creative in portraying the mental illness of John Nash. Brilliantly done!! You can't tell what is real and what is not. And the acting accolades this film received are well-deserved. Jennifer Connelly has greatly improved as an actress with this film and while I don't think Russell Crowe deserved the Oscar last year, he surely deserves the statue this year for his remarkable portrayal of John Nash.
