What is real? What is in our minds? When you think about it, everything that we sense is processed by our minds...mere electrical connections in the brain arranged and orchestrated in a way that nothing rivals its complexities. This movie really delves in to that. James Horner did an amazing job telling the story through music. I have major depressive disorder with psychotic features. I also compose music. Music has helped me through so much. Even though some of my compositions are abstract, they tell the tale of what I am feeling at the moment. I have some pretty major hallucinations!
The film does a great job of letting people into the mind of a shizophrenic, the fears of not knowing what's real, of the despair when your world based on delusions falls apart, the challenges of the closest people around. Being under heavy medication. The feelings rather than the facts. It is a fair point to mention that many parts are a fiction. But going through a psychotic episode myself, this film helped me, my family and friends cope. It helps to relate, comforts. If not, "maybe try again tomorrow".
We miss u James horner.. I luv u lot... Ur music will take me some where ur bg spell bounding really u will add emotion to motion with ur music.. A fan from India.. Rip JH
On May 23, 2015, Nash and his wife were killed in a vehicle accident on the New Jersey Turnpike near Monroe Township, New Jersey. They had been on their way home from the airport after a visit to Norway, where Nash had received the Abel Prize, R.I.P. Beautiful Couple.... Tarek Girgis, 46 was the asshole Taxi driver who killed them.
I found this a very difficult film to understand . On first viewing all I knew about it was that is about an actual American mathematician ,who won a Nobel prize. I took it factually at face value ,didn`t know about the schizophrenia and was very puzzled about the revelation that most was fantasy . Then at the prizegiving in Sweden and the film finished I was infuriated that the was nothing in the film about what the work was that won the prize . On second viewing I began to understand that it was not about the man`s ability but his disability and how that impinged on his work .However ,I had to google to find that the prize was given for his work as a very young man and that it was won by the team of three ,who had collaborated . Perhaps the intention of the film will be clearer to me on viewing #3 Edit, one day later .I did decide to try again and by sheer accident put on the disc with the director`s commentary . Now I see the film as he meant it to be seen with a lot of extra nuances that I had not pick up, especially the physical display of the effects of the disease. Strange that originally I took it so literally but I still wish they had indicated in some way how much of it was created for the film ,as John Nash himself does not recall much of what went on and had to therefore be imagined for the purpose of continuity. Fact and plausible fiction intermixed.
Love this movie so much!

So sad James Horner is gone...he was a brilliant composer.
He certainly was
Bygone era of movie making. Today (and perhaps the past 15 years) very few artists put this amount of thought into a movie.
If clips like this get only 100 likes then we know who rules social network ;)
Best movie ever.
LOL I knew a guy who used computer paper in a class I had in grade school.
Dr. Nash said in one video that he doesn't like the film.

One of my favourite movies

Does anybody know the title of the song at 6:39? Is this song on the soundtrack of this film?
a kaleidoscope of mathematics.
