Was this really the best of 2001?

Rating: Null/10 (25 March 2002)

I've sat through A Beautiful Mind twice for reasons i'm not going to go into now. Russell Crowe is excellent as is Jennifer Connelly. But I don't think it deserved the best picture oscar for there are many, many plot holes in the film. Now maybe i missed something, but if Mr Nash has imaginary friends then who throws the desk out the window and who is driving the car when the mission has been 'compromised'. If he was imagining these scenes why wasn't it made clear to the viewer? This is a good film, not a great film. It shouldn't have won the Oscar. I'm not a fantasy nut but Lord of the Rings part one should have taken it. Peter Jackson deserved the Best Director to. But hay! The Academy never go with the popular vote do they, after all Forrest Gump or Pulp Fiction.....
