I have made the most important discovery of my career - the most important discovery of my life. It is only in the mysterious equations of love that any logic or reason can be found. I am only here tonight because of you" ~ John Nash (Russell Crowe)

A Beautiful Mind is a 2001 American biographical drama film based on the life of John Nash, a Nobel Laureate in Economics. The story begins in the early years of the young prodigy. Early in the film, the protagonist begins developing paranoid schizophrenia and endures delusional episodes while painfully watching the loss and burden his condition brings on his wife and friends. It was well received by critics, but has been criticized for its inaccurate portrayal of some aspects of Nash's life, especially his other family and a son born out of wedlock. Oh well..., nobody is perfect after all even if he ends up with a Nobel prize.
One of the best films I have seen in this year. It was entertaining and interesting. Great performances a must see for all. “Truly a really great movie worth the long library wait or the price to rent from a Red Box”.
Certainly, Russell Crowe deserves Oscar for the Best Actor in leading role, his 2 nd. A surprising thriller.
not bad
Very well acted by Russell an Jennifer.
The first time, you have to see it for the twist. The second time, you have to see it to watch how careful they were ...
One of the BEST movies I have EVER Seen...
Rather long movie of the struggle and triumph of a mathematical genius.
Awesome, best movie of 2002, Jennifer Connelly won the OSCAR for this movie, SHE WAS AMAZING IN THE MOVIE, a true Oscar performance, not a mercy Oscar like Kim Bassinger's. Russell Crowe was great in this movie!
