a quality film at last!

Rating: 10/10 (21 January 2002)

wow!!! I had heard A Beautiful Mind was very good, but no one could have prepared me for how great it truly is!!! I went with 4 friends and at the end of the movie we all just sat and said "wow" for a moment.
this movie is the first quality film I have seen in quite some time. It is now one of my all-time favorite movies! The movie starts off a little slow, but it does a wonderful job of getting the audience acquainted with the characters - you fall in love with them and want them to be happy. So, when the climax hits, it takes you by surprise and hits your emotions. I won't give the climax - I actually had been told a little more about the movie than my friends had, but luckily I had forgotten. Not knowing some of the key ingredients of this film made it a better film by far. I'll just say there is a powerful twist in this film, and the topic is handled very well by the writers and by the actors (who all do a marvelous job! and the make-up in this movie is also terrific). If at the beginning you feel it is slow, please just stick with it! Once you get into it, you won't be able to leave until you know how it ends... and once it ends, you won't know how to leave because it is so amazing.
A Beautiful Mind is definitely one of the best quality films ever made.
