He saw the world in a way no one could have imagineThe winner of 4 Academy Award ( Best Picture, Best Director, Best Adapted Screenplay and Best Supporting Actress, Jennifer Connely), this movie indeed is a brilliant just like the character they playing John Forbes Nash, the Nobel laureate in economics. Hate to admit it that i'm way too late to watch this movie. I forgot when I first saw the trailer, officially it was on 2001. I knew that the main character is a mathematician and paranoid schizophrenic. On this case John Nash starts his paranoid schizophrenia symptoms while he's in collage. A schizophrenic are often frigid, rarely smiles, mostly like an introvert. But the differ is schizophrenia undergo delusions or hallucinations.
The guy with blonde hair right there was his first delusional friend, named Charles Herman (Paul Bettany), a roommate. Charles is really nice guy with British accent.
Now, here is the part when John finally making a new theory when he and his fellow graduate students (Josh Lucas as Martin Hansen, Adam Goldberg as Sol, Anthony Rapp as Bender) discuss how to approach a group of women at bar. A very genius point of view. By this theory John Nash offered an appointment at MIT, with Sol and Bender.
Past few years John become a code breaker. This clip show when John get invited to Pentagon. After that he begin conceit about his talent. Then he meet his second delusional person named William Parcher (Ed Harris) as a supervisor of the united states department of defense. He entrust John to be their classified code breaker, to look for pattern in magazines and newspapers in order to thwart a soviet plot.
The beautiful Jennifer Connely attracts him with his role as Alicia Larde by this clip. And she is the only one who can solve the question that John has made. After that she ask him to dinner, so the two fall in love. They get married and have a boy.
John meet his third delusional person, a child named Marcee (Vivian Cardone) she's Charles's niece, before he marry Alicia.
His schizophrenia getting worst each day. First because he has hallucination that his work with William Parcher is discovered by soviet. He turns off all light in his house, he frighten his wife so Alicia make the call to Dr. Rosen (Christopher Plummer). John thought that Dr. Rosen is a Rusian agent.
John is eventually released from psychiatric facility after get a course of insulin shock therapy. He lives jobless. He frustated with the side effects of antipsychotic, he secretly stop taking it, that's why he relapse and meet parcher again (which he forced John to finish his task as a classified code breaker).
On this clip he try Alicia to bath the baby, but because of his relapse he let (thought Charles is there to take care of the baby) the baby sinking at the tube. Alicia flees with baby after calling Dr. Rosen. But unexpectedly John stops her and realize that Marcee never gets old so she can't be real.
John refuses to taking medications again, he believes there must be another way, he think based on a logic like a true mathematician. This is the dramatic part, after he endangers his family Alicia not steps back or sue a divorce but she stays, decides to support him patiently :') I cried at this part.
John can't live without doing anything. He really want to teach again, so he meet his old friend Martin Hansen who has become the Princeton mathematics department. He having a rough time there where people sees him as a genius lunatic, because he talks alone (his delusional friends). But then he learn to ignore them (Charles, Marcee and Parcher), just like diet of mind. Years pass John has the privilege of teaching again.
In 1994, he goes to win the Nobel memorial prize in economics for his game theory. At the end he still (always) can see Charles, Marcee and Parcher.
Fin. Go watch if you haven't, I will never get bored to rewatch this movie, will be one of my favorite of all time. Stay Positive \m/ Stay Strong guys!
