Summary reminder:
The movie “A Beautiful Mind” is based on the life of the famous, Nobel Prize winner schizophrenic mathematician, John Forbes Nash Jr., who is played by Russel Crowe. This movie was partly inspired by the biography of the same name by Sylvia Nasar.
This movie creates a chronological timeline of John Nash’s life starting when he enters graduate school at Princeton to study mathematics where the early symptoms of schizophrenia begin to appear all the way up to when he won the Nobel Prize while still dealing with his disability.
The well-acted “A Beautiful Mind” is both a moving love story and a revealing look at mental illness.
