Based on a true story...only altered for Oscar-purposes

Rating: 1/10 (18 March 2002)

Personally it leaves me gagging, if a movie begs for an Oscar as horribly as A BEAUTIFUL MIND does. But what makes me gag even more is that this movie is actually lying about its troubled "hero": In a biographic movie like this it is unacceptable to just drop or alter facts like the main character being antisemitic etc., just because it doesn't come in handy for an Academy Award.
