A beautiful story

Rating: Null/10 (19 March 2002)

Quite a thought-provoking movie with a powerful message. To see John Nash's commitment to his science was wonderful. To see his wife's devotion to him, was more than wonderful. Although plagued by mental illness for years, his intellectual brilliance survived through it all. The movie does well to combine John Nash's world of reality and delusion...something that was indivisible for him as a person. One realizes toward the end of the movie that he represented a "communion of contrasts": on the one hand a person with "superior" intellectual skills, and on the other hand, a person with a mind illness that made him "inferior" to ordinary people. Still above it all, stands his devotion to his science and his wife's devotion to their lives together. Heart warming stuff !
