It is about a schizophrenic mathematician name "John Nash", who spends all of his days trying to find a revolutionary discovery/formula that will change life. The irony, is that life doesn't work out if we try to solve it like an equation. It is only when we let go and let life happen to us that we will find our true happiness. The Beautiful Mind is an exaggerated tale of this law, and how terrible life can get if you try to solve its nonexistent formula. Jon Nash is an awkward man, not good in social situations, but an amazingly talented mathematician. He is so good, in face, that he spends most of his time trying to find a revolutionary discovery in mathematics. I like to think of it as a "Life formula", or a discovery that will never happen. The twist of the movie, which happens about halfway through, is that Nash is suffering from a severe form of schizophrenia, and half of the situations/places that exist in his life, are only part of his "beautiful" mind. One imaginary character that he creates is his roommate, Charles. Nash gets along very well with Charles, which makes the audience suspicious from the start, seeing that John Nash doesn't really get along well with anyone else. The other character that Nash creates is named Parcher, who is working to solve a conspiracy case of an atomic bomb threat towards the U.S. When the conspiracy situation goes wrong in Nash's head, that is when he is need of mental help. He is taken into a psychiatric hospital, and receives intense treatment, Upon returning home, the visions are suppressed, but so is every aspect of John Nash's beautiful mind. He no longer can think right, feel right, or act right. He stops taking the medication, and loses another battle with his schizophrenia. Instead of going back to the hospital, he tries to battle the hallucinations on his own. This is the turning point of the movie, where Nash learns how to really live his life. Nash learns that life is more than making a discovery, or solving an equation. There is love and emotion involved. A wife, taking care of your <a href="http://www.insuranceforbaby.net" alt="Baby Insurance" target="_blank">baby</a>, and the everyday joys of life. Instead of focusing his time on himself, John decides to go back to teaching classes, and shares his amazing knowledge with his students. All this, while ignoring the characters that took over his mind. This is where an amazing inspirational quote is mentioned by John Nash, which I will mention here:"Are the hallucinations...gone?""No, but I've gotten used to ignoring them, and a result, they've kind of given up on me. I think that's sorta what it's like with dreams and nightmares. We've gotta keep feeding them for them to stay alive"That is one of the most true and inspirational quotes I have ever heard. Dreams will gradually disappear, if we do not focus on them, and take constant action towards them, Nightmares will continue, as long as we feed them our attention. John Nash wins a Nobel Peace Prize at the end of the movie, for his contribution to society. A Beautiful Mind is a movie about the importance of enjoying every day of life, and not getting caught up in ridiculous theories or fantasies for a future that may never be. If we don;t focus on the present moment, it may be the biggest regret in our life. Embrace life each day, don't embrace a fantasy world. Your thoughts on the movie?

Is it so bad that you refuse to watch the movie because a particular actor or actress will be in it? For me, I don't like to see any movies with Burt Reynolds. Which actor(s) or actress(es) makes your stomach turn?

Russel Crowe is from? 2. Russel crowe's name in Gladiator? Thu, 04 Dec 2008 12:34:20 GMT sureshgbabu http://www.mylot.com/w/discussions/1419007.aspx He is a great actor. The AMPAS would not give him two successive Oscars if he weren't. I am particularly impressed with his Academy Award-winning performance in Gladiator. He's one heck of an Australian! Though in his personal life, he is admittedly disliked by many, it is ultimately his acting talent that will see him through...

Leonardo DeCaprio is always good in his films. I liked the movie & thought that plot was pretty good. Sat, 11 Oct 2008 11:13:17 GMT halynn http://www.mylot.com/w/discussions/1608827.aspx I have numerous favourite actors but particularly great ones are Anthony Hopkins and Jodie Foster. They were brilliant together in 'The Silence of the Lambs' and I also like them in every film they've been in separately. Hopkins can cause me to shudder but he can also play parts where you'd feel happy to leave a new born baby in his care! Foster is versatile and charismatic. Who are your two favourite male and female actors? Perhaps you could explain why. Thu, 17 Jul 2008 17:21:55 GMT aslanlight
