Director
Ron
Howard
delivers
his
finest
effort
with
his
extraordinary
film,
A
BEAUTIFUL
MIND,
which
won
the
Academy
Award
for
Best
Picture
in
2001.
Based
loosely
on
Sylvia
Nasar's
acclaimed
biography
of
mathematician
John
Forbes
Nash,
the
film
is a
compelling
look
at
one
man's
genius,
his
debilitating
mental
illness,
and
the
fine
line
between
the
two.
A
BEAUTIFUL
MIND
begins
with
Nash
(Russell
Crowe)
at
Princeton,
where
he
struggles
to
think
of
an
original
idea,
and
the
stroke
of
genius
that
will
make
him
matter.
Nash
is
eccentric,
socially
awkward,
and
extremely
competitive.
Eventually,
he
finds
the
inspiration
for
his
innovative
and
influential
work
on
game
theory.
He's
chosen
for
a
post
at
MIT,
which
includes
crucial
code-breaking
work
for
the
US
government.
There,
he
meets
a
beautiful
and
brilliant
student,
Alicia
(Jennifer
Connelly).
They
marry
but
their
happiness
is
threatened,
as
Nash,
belatedly
diagnosed
as
schizophrenic,
descends
into
madness.
Screenwriter
Akiva
Goldsman
cannily
condenses
Nash's
story,
and
the
film
manages
to
dramatize
both
Nash's
mathematical
brilliance
and
his
schizophrenia
in a
compellingly
visual
manner.
Crowe
delivers
a
strong
performance,
and
has
real
chemistry
with
Connelly.
The
two
make
the
film's
story
about
the
power
of
love
believable
and
moving.
