yeah my objection is its argument that love can somehow heal schizophrenia...and that was not Nash's case in actuality at all. his wife left him, remarried him when he emerged spontaneously from the disorder. Also, he was not some kind of sex retard. He had numerous complicated affairs with both genders and was kicked out of MIT for screwing boys in a bathroom.

i didn't really get this from the movie... what i got was that his mind was such that he was able to reason himself out of his condition to some extent... although his delusions were never complete diminished, he was able to accept that they were not real and move on with his life... he based it on logic and proof and accepted the fact that these delusions were just that... not only is that unheard of, but also i could imagine near impossible for someone of his intelligence to admit and accept within himself...
i personally felt the love story was forced and, knowing a little about nash and his sorted past, kind of overlooked it...

I hope they follow up with a sequal called "a beautiful ass" but focus more on Jennifer Connely's (sp?) character - she was pretty in it.

Do you know what "nemesis" means? A righteous infliction of retribution manifested by an appropriate agent. Personified in this instance by an 'orrible cunt... me!

Jennifer Connelly is sooooo hot!! I loved her in Labyrinth - remember that movie?? With David Bowie as the Goblin King!?
That movie kicked ass...
Oh Phem - sorry - didn't mean to wander off topic....I haven't seen the movie yet - but I plan on going soon...
But from what I have seen in commercials - Russell Crowe's pipes look huge in the trailer for A Beautiful Mind - he's wearing a white t-shirt and his guns look massive....yes, he's a bonafide hunk....

they are big - but a fat big - not cut whatsoever.
I like his abilities as an actor. Never thought of him as "hunky" though. I'm sure that Hollywood will assign this designation to him now that he is very rich.Stryc-9 said:
He strikes me as a real man...something that most Hollywood stars do not. Redford for example would make an excellent female.

Well, if you don't think that was the message, you better have Ron Howard write a new Nobel speech for Nash and you better have them rewrite the scene when she doesn't sign the committal papers.
In fact, Nash was repeatedly hospitalized. His efforts to "reason" himself out of schizophrenia were probably part of his disorder and were mainly futile. As sometimes happens, he spontaneously emerged from the more florescent schizophrenic states. In his Nobel autobiography he says that he first concluded politics meant nothing and then, having dismissed politics, was able to identify his delusions, since they all tended to be political (and quite bizarre, compared to Ron Howard's cozy ones).
If you're going to argue that love and the will can significantly alter the delusional state of a full-blown shizophrenic, I think you also owe your audience a more accurate depiction of the disease.
