Respect

Rating: Null/10 (28 February 2003)

While this film may be a great deal fantasy, I cannot help but appraise this film for finally drawing sympathy for people like John Nash. I am close to people like this and always felt it really sad that these people try so hard and are not even known, but instead thought crazy. I still find it fascinating how the mind thinks for multiple people. Sure, there were some flaws and it could be improved, but at least it is a start. Before this, few people really knew how hard emotionally it is for schizophrenics, and even now most people don't see the difficulty. The visual hallucinations are exaggerated, but these people really believe these hallucinations are real, so likewise the film makes you believe they are real also. Anyways, I'm glad to see someone finally take the time to show how much these people go through.
