Inspiring and Thought Provoking

Rating: 10/10 (4 November 2003)

Unlike some, I thoroughly enjoyed this movie. It gave me much food for thought, as I was not familiar with the story of John Forbes Nash, Jr. prior. It was an affirmation that the power and depth of the human mind and spirit are severely underestimated. This movie made me laugh, made me cry, and finally made me appreciate the mere existence of this brilliant man. A Beautiful Mind was absolutely a deserving award winner. I applaud Ron Howard for yet another magnificent release and I certainly believe that Russell Crowe did a wonderful job in his portrayal, as did Jennifer Connelly. Bravo to all involved.
