Good and inspirational.

I was never the one being cut out to be good in Mathematics. I admit, it was a little below average. But I ended up studying accountancy instead.
But it never stopped me back then to watch the movie when it was shown on the television here back then like few years back or something. If I cannot be someone good in Mathematics, then watching the life of Nobel Prize winner John Forbes Nash Jr. is good enough for me.
Russell Crowe plays the Nobel Prize winner in the movie. Though he (as in Russell's character) has schizophrenia (the real John Nash Jr. did contracted it), he was awarded the Nobel Prize in Economics (this is as a result of my own mini research). I am not clearly aware of the Game Theory though, but then I guessed I realised why Nash is a mathematical genius in his own right after watching the movie.
The reason I am only starting to remember about this movie once again as one of those I once watched, was because of, The Da Vinci Code (I did saw that movie and read the novel beforehand). I know this sounds funny, but back then when I read about who is going to direct The Da Vinci Code, director Ron Howard was credited in directing the Academy Award-winning movie A Beautiful Mind. It was then it hit me that I had actually once watched one of Howard's earlier works.
Back to this movie I am reviewing on. If someone like me who has never really able to succeed in her Mathematics do like this movie, I don't see why others will not like it too.
