One of the best Movies I've ever seen!

Rating: Null/10 (10 July 2004)

I remember when this film came out and reading a lot about it and how good people felt it was, but I'd not been able to see it until recently.
I read some of the other reviews here, and whilst everyone of course is entitled to their opinion, I find it hard to understand that these people saw the same film I did! Either that or they rather missed the point of this film.
Whilst it's true the middle part of the film dwells a little too much on the mental illness John Nash suffered from, I do understand why this was the case - to put the film into context. To truly appreciate this film you have to look at it in the wider and larger picture and the principles its trying to portray and not necessarily on the smaller details. Rather than rave on about how good the movie is I'll sum it up below in a paragraph and you watch it yourselves.
This movie is about the immense struggle two people overcome through the love of each other to beat the mental illness the main character John Nash suffers from. Through this love, admiration and support of his wife of John Nash the person, the human being and not the genius, John Nash the genius is ultimately able to prevail over the demons he suffers for his genius to be rewarded by winning the Nobel prize.
A truly moving movie that demonstrates that the simplicity of love itself is able to overcome any obstacles put in front of it. This is a love story of the highest caliber, which just also happens to feature a mathematical genius and the mental illness schizophrenia.
Superb performances from both Crowe and Jennifer Connelly.
Don't miss this!
