A fantastic journey through a special mind.

Rating: 10/10 (22 December 2006)

This is a wonderful dramatic movie filled with fantasy, drama, sadness, magic, and the occasional romance.
"A Beautiful Mind" is one of those special movies that change your view or opinion on some specific events. This time, we get into the world of a schizophrenic man whose brilliance is just a part of his personality. We understand his disease but we also understand how he perceives happiness, sadness, and desperation.
John Nash made important contributions to science and it's displayed in such a beautiful manner in this movie that you wonder if he was truly sick. His life changed when one of her students fell in love with him. She didn't fell in love with his looks but was charmed with his knowledge, common sense, and intelligence. She will be his support in the good and in the bad times. Together they will live in an alternate world of suffer and compassion; created of course by John's beautiful mind.
I can't praise this movie enough. Since I watched it on theaters back in 2002 I knew this movie would change my life and it did. Sure, it has the typical Hollywood vibe but Ron Howard displayed a feeling of tenderness and passion like in no modern movie.
From beginning to half of the movie you wonder about John's mental health but then after it's revealed of his disease, you can't help but care about him and try to understand what's really going on with his mind and thoughts.
The acting is simply great, moving, tender, powerful. Russell Crowe demonstrates he's a solid dramatic actor and knows perfectly how to display many emotions. Jennifer Connelly shines with her powerful and passionate performance. This woman revolutionized acting in the new millennium. She can express MANY things and feelings with her beautiful green bright eyes... She also is simply beautiful, stunning. She's probably the most beautiful woman in the world.
The direction is great, visually stunning and beautiful. The cinematography, art direction, editing, and score are the best money can buy. Quality all over this production.
Please watch this movie; it's a lesson of life and a wonderful dramatic story. Objectively, it's more than just a blockbuster.
