sometimes confusing but very good

Rating: 9/10 (5 September 2005)

What Ron Howard did to this movie is what no other director could. He portrays the story of man who is haunted by other dreams and people that don't exist, yet he still goes on and wins the Noble Peace Prize. The movie actually goes inside Nash's head and we can see how much suffering he is going through and how people don't understand him and the other way around. It was confusing at first, because I couldn't tell whether Ed Harris's character or the others were real or not and if the world that he was living in was a fake, just like the Truman show. However, it is a true story and the world that he lived in was real enough. Russell Crowe gives his best performance ever, even better than Gladiator. You can see his emotions and his fight to overcome those struggles. Ed Harris and everyone else do a great job with their roles. However, Jennifer Connelly stole the show with her performance as Alicia Nash. How she still cared and loved John really amazed me and she definitely deserved that Oscar. It is definitely one movie worth to be watching. 10 out of 10.
