The Bottom Line:

An often-moving story, A Beautiful Mind sometimes rambles or takes too long on a dead end of a plotline, but deserves praise for taking one of the most formulaic genres (the biopic) and doing something completely different, mainly successfully. December 18, 2008

A great love story and a great movie

I'm very touched by the movie, especially the love of John Nash's wife to him. Love is patient, love is endurance, love is not just after one's own benefits, and love shines. And Jennifer Connelly's Oscar is well earned.

Highly recommended.

A Beautiful Movie

Russel Crow delievers again in this really well done movie. I enjoyed the story a lot and at some points didn't know who to trust. Don't miss this film. August 8, 2008

A great insight into Mental Illness

I resisted this movie for awhile. I tend to rebel against anything or anyone who appears to be over-hyped. I got tired of hearing about Russell Crowe. Finally I broke down and bought the movie.

In a way, this is two stories in one. The beginning story is totally engrossing and believable. You watch this beautiful mind, this talented man emerge into his field, gather followers, find love, and get an intriguing, dangerous job. Then you learn The Truth.

The remainder of the story depicts a man's struggle against his "emotional illness," eventually without the use of drugs (because they diminished his Beautiful Mind, his brilliance).. His struggles to hold onto his beloved wife and family.. and his eventual story of humble triumph.

This was a great movie, and made me a Russell Crowe Fan.

A Piece of My Complex Mind

Russell Crowe's portrayal of John Nash's life is simply superb. It will forever stand as the definitive movie on that imperceptible line separating the truly genius from mere mortals. If considered from the perspective of "Complex Viewing", this movie has many spiritual implications. June 27, 2008
