An absolutely stunning performance from Russell Crow
This film is based on the life of John Nash, the brilliant, Nobel winning mathematician and his extraordinary relationship with his wife, Alicia. I use the words `based on' deliberately as the film significantly strays from actual events and brings the spirit of Nash's life to the screen rather than being a true-to-life biopic. For those who want to learn more, I suggest Sylvia Nasar's book `The Beautiful Mind', which was also the source for the film. I do not want to say too much about the plot as if you have not yet seen the film, it will spoil the effect. The film attempts to put you inside Nash's head and experience events just as he did. For me, it worked extremely well. Try not to find out too much beforehand if you want to savour the full effect. Rest assured, however, that the film is very much about the human story of Nash and his devoted wife. The math, whilst integrated into the film in a variety of innovative and entertaining ways - the explanation of game theory has never been more interesting - remains in the background. The acting is superb: Russell Crow is revelatory in the role and how he missed out on an Oscar is hard to fathom. Jennifer Connelly did win an Oscar for her performance as Nash's wife, and the film also took best picture, best screenplay, and best director awards. They were well deserved. For a thoughtful, deeply moving, and incredibly inspiring film: this is it. If you manage to watch it without knowing too much about the contents beforehand, it can also be disorientating as well - just as Nash experienced his life.

A Beautiful Mind
Not a family movie, as I'm not sure children can fully follow or appreciate the story. It was a great gift for my parents, though. No special day, just got mentioned in conversation and I enjoyed the movie so much that I got it for them, knowing they'd enjoy it.

A Beautiful Mind
This could be the most well-made, well-written, and well-acted film ever put on the screen. It certainly deserved the Academy Award for Best Picture.

Ron Howard's "A Beautiful Mind" is a classic story of redemption. It shows beauty where beauty is hard to find. It makes you have hope. Russel Crowe plays John Forbes Nash as perfectly as possible. He brings out the most intence emotion that I have ever seen in a performance. You can truly belive the horror of mental illness that his character suffers and he absolutely demands that you sympathize with him. The deep emotions of this movie are intensified by Crowe's co-stars Jennifer Connelly (Alicia de Landa) and Ed Harris (William Parcher). Connelly plays Nash's loving and supportive wife who helps him through his ordeal. Without her it is clear that Nash would not have survived. On the opposite side is William Parcher, portrayed by Ed Harris. He is in some ways the main antagonist of the story, encouraging Nash's hallucinations.

Director Ron Howard delivers yet again another brilliant story. The unique style to his movies is very pronounced in this. He also deserved his Award for Best Director (2001). Howard makes you feel as if you're really there suffering along side of Nash and his family.

So I reccomend this film to anyone who likes stories of terrible devastation and finally redemption.

I give this film 5 stars for it's Brilliant Directing, Superb Acting, and Strong Story.
