Reacting to A BEAUTIFUL MIND (2001) | Movie Reaction 
Развлечения
My son has schizophrenia and, yes, it is hereditary. The problem with paranoid schizophrenia is that they so often refuse to take medication. I watch this movie in tears every time and pray for a good outcome for my son
Not knowing what is reality and what isn’t 😢
Interestingly enough John Nash himself actually didn't take medication either. He stopped taking them in 1970, believing they could harm his intellect, and still went on to live a fine life in his older days.
My prayers are with you & your son🙏🙏🙏. My Mom has a form of late-onset schizophrenia, probably schizo-affective disorder brought on by repressed trauma. Medication (Quetiapine) has helped some but she can't take the higher dosage she really needs because of her advanced age. She, too, refused to take her meds at first. I had to start playing a little hard-ball with her, as in: "Ok, no medication, no TV" and so forth. That has worked for us. I have no idea if it could work in your son's situation but I'll keep praying for a beautiful outcome for your family❤️ God bless
It's hereditary and sadly John Nash's son has schizophrenia too.
@@DawnMarieX You should read the book by Sylvia Nasar on which this movie is based. Movies always have to leave stuff out because they cannot be too long. Russell Crowe and Paul Bettany are both in Master and Commander and also did a great job in that. The books by Patrick O'Brien on which Master and Commander is based are also good reads.
I dont think people give enough credit for Jennifer Connelly’s phenomenal performance. She 100% deserved that Oscar. Her emotions were so real and heartfelt😔
His wife was hispanic but they put a white actress to play her. No way.
I heard that sometimes on stage men play women's roles and women sometimes play men's roles ... obviously in your mind that should NEVER happen.@@ftrevino4493
Russell Crow deserved the Oscar for his performance to
@@ftrevino4493 Alicia Nash's father had Hispanic lineage. So what? Her mother wasn't Hispanic. Jennifer Connelly looks a lot like Nash when she was younger.
@RideAcrossTheRiver So what? Another Hollywood story given credit to minorities. Let's change Russell Crow character to a black man. We can't do that because it's not accurate. Neither is his wife. She was hispanic but played by a white actress. White washed.
"Cinderella Man" is another great movie in which Russell Crowe plays the boxer James Braddock.
Very good movie almost no one reacts to.
2nd this as well great movie,
I will 3rd that, and add Ron Howard. Director. I don't need to explain it. Those who doest know it...Well, watch Ron Howard movies.
GREAT! Movie and a true story as well.
Yes! Cinderella Man is one of Russell Crowe’s best films. I’ll never understand why reactors overlook it.
As someone with Mental Health issues and not able to communicate how they impact me this film really hits home.. Truly beautiful
There is help for that.
One of my favourite movies. Ed Harris playing a shadowy figure always brings things up a level.
Anything with Ed Harris tends to be a great film!
John & his Alicia lived an amazing life. Unfortunately, a few years ago, the two passed away after an automobile accident here in New Jersey back in 2015. They were in their mid 80s.
If he'd lived til 2020, it would have been very difficult for him.
They went to Norway to pick up the ABEL prize in Mathematics (equivalent to the Nobel prize), and when they came back to New Jersey airport they died in a taxicab accident. Really DEVASTATING !!!
ok?@@Dave-hb7lx
21:28 "Have you met Harvey?" He's referencing a character from a classic play that they made into a black-and-white Jimmy Stewart film that's worth watching: Harvey (1950).
The pen scene at the end is one of the few bits of cinema that is guaranteed to have me crying every single time. It's such a beautifully set up and executed scene with a depth of meaning and a lifetime of emotion behind it.
The pen scene gets me every time.
It's a wonderful movie scene, but the "ceremony/tradition" is completely fictitious.
@@USCFlash Exactly. It's just a Hollywood invention.
"One man, lots of pens" made me laugh so hard I almost inhaled my coffee.
😏
The "pencils" he's writing on the windows with are called china markers. Some places call them grease pencils. We use them all the time on the farm. You can write on a surface and they will resist rain and weather. But if you need to erase, it's also pretty easy.
It's amazing how few people know of this movie since it won the Academy Awards for Best Picture, Best Director, and Best Screenplay Adaptation -- plus also for Best Supporting Actress (Jennifer Connelly) -- and isn't very old, having been released this century..
Who would have thought that anyone watching little Opie Taylor on The Andy Griffith Show in the early 60's would know he would grow up to be such a great director.
One of my favorite movies. It's a travesty that Russell Crowe didn't win the Oscar for best actor for this role. He was phenomenal
yea I saw this film before The Oscars and then saw the ceremony and DEnzel Washington won for Training DAY which was a wild performance so its the age old question- how can you compare 2 varied great acting roles which these 2 were and so different. Some times Hollywood just will boost an actor after he loses in an earlier one ( Denzel in THE Hurricane) and he then wins for one like Training day. Kinda like when Jimmy stewart lost in 1939 for MR smith goes to washington and then he won Best actor in 1940 ( more a supporting role) and Henry Fonda should have won for Grapes of Wrath!
@@michaelceraso1977 i agree, i mean how many people get an Oscar for cop movies, it was during Russels angry days so it was the academies way of teaching him a lesson
Terrible movie.
@michaelceraso1977 Yeah russell crowe had just won the best actor for gladiator (great role but not Oscar worthy in my opinion). I guess they weren't going to give him two in a row
@@WheresWaldo05 LMAO
Dawn Marie, the guy that comes to tell him about the Nobel Prize @28:25 in your video is actually the real John Nash. They wrote a small part for him so he could be in the movie. 🙂
Russell Crowe is also great in Master and Commander, and in LA Confidential. You'll love his performances in both of these movies.
LA Confidential is an amazing movie, and one worth reacting to!
Absolutely, and then Cinderella Man.
When Brian Grazer, Hollywood mogul, announced he was looking to find a script for the book about Nash for a movie many screenwriters came forward. One was a little known writer called Akiva Goldsman who's parents had run a home for mentally disturbed kids and he himself had suffered sexual abuse, so he had a background that knew about this stuff. Grazer listened and said go away and work out the story and come back to me. Goldsman thrashed out the story you've just seen and went to Grazers home and told him the story of the film.......Grazer cried, it was so beautiful and indeed it is, everything, the story, the acting, the score and your reaction, (ha, thought he said leave your dress!)
Winner of 4 Oscars including Best Picture.
Russell Crowe also did a great acting job in Master and Commander, and the books that movie was based on (by Patrick O'Brien) are also worth a read.
They should have made at two more movies from those novels. I blame Trump.
I concur with the recommendation of Master and Commander: Far Side of the World. Such a stellar movie. One of the best ever made depicting ships during the Age of Sail.
@@MichaelScheele"the lesser of two weevils."
Dawn, "Master and Commander: The Far Side of the World" also stars Russell Crowe and Paul Bettany.
In 1978, John Nash was awarded the John von Neumann Theory Prize for his discovery of non-cooperative equilibria, now called Nash Equilibria. He won the Leroy P. Steele Prize in 1999. In 1994, he received the Nobel Memorial Prize in Economic Sciences (along with John Harsanyi and Reinhard Selten) for his game theory work as a Princeton graduate student.
Have you ever seen The Sound Of Music? The man that plays the psychiatrist that diagnosis his schizophrenia plays the father of the Von Trapp family. Christopher Plummer has had a long and wonderful career. Love the Groucho t shirt. For every movie that cracks your skull there is at least one more to fill your heart with joy.
This movie-like many Hollywood vehicles-glosses over the “speed bumps” in Nash’s life. It’s not their fault. They make entertainment products. According to the published accounts, Mr. Nash was more, ummm… “complex?” More than just the schizophrenia, that is. Worth a deep dive study. “Master and Commander” is a VERY worthy follow-up, by the way. Agree with others here.
Yes! Master and Commander is a really good film also with Paul Bettany in it (the guy who played his imagined rommate).
"Hidden Figures" is another gem of a film about brilliant STEM people you might like. It takes some historical liberties but they all do😁
Can confirm - great movie.
@@MarkMcLT 👍
💯
One of my top 5 movies of all time. Love RC and Jennifer Connelly. Love your reactions. ❤👏
This girl reaction to this sad movie is the best. She doesn’t talk just to talk and pretend to know what the plot is. Sad this is a true story.
Ed Harris is also in The Truman Show.
Judd Hirsch was in the TV show Taxi.
Christopher Plummer is in The Sound of Music.
Jennifer Connelly! ❤
Ron Howard did a masterful job on keeping you guessing what is real and what is not. The first real hint you get is when Marcie runs through the pigeons and they don't react to her.
Master and Commander is another great Russell Crowe film.
It's ironic watching your Fight Club reaction and then watching the reaction to this one because it's about characters that live in a distorted reality but I'm glad that you actually follow this one because Fight Club can be way out there for a lot of people❤ but what I love about this moment of communicating with people watching this and dealing with a lot of the overwhelming things that come with mental illness is that we aren't alone, and that is really special, because we have each other no matter what. Whether we have a phone, a laptop, or whatever electronic device connects us these days - people like you and me are just around the corner❤
One of Nash's sons is also schizophrenic and was also a math prodigy. He finished a PhD in math having never been an undergraduate. He was admitted into a PhD program with a high school diploma.
I just love your reactions, you're so real and have such a fun personality. You find clever humor in everything!
Thank you so much!!
@@DawnMarieX I love that you appreciate black & white films. I took a history of film class back in 1971, and learned to love silent films. Everybody gravitates to Charlie Chaplin & Buster Keaton, but I learned that my favorite was Harold Lloyd. I think you'd love his films. Try one of his shorts ... his most famous ... "Safety Last." You'll go crazy for it.
@@DawnMarieX There's an old joke where a guy has a flat tire, pulls over, starts changing the tire, removes the lug nuts, puts them in his hub cap and accidentally knocks them out where they got lost in the deep grass there. A guy looking through the fence of what is a nearby psychiatric hospital sees this guy fretting over how he is going to get home and that his family is stranded in the car with him, and the patient says why don't you take one lug nut off each of the other wheels and then you can slowly drive home and then buy 5 replacements. The motorist says that it was surprising that someone in a psychiatric hospital could come up with that solution. The patient replies that I'm crazy, not stupid.
@@DawnMarieX Russell Crowe was also in a movie called LA Confidential, it's an older movie as well. Kind of a strange movie, but pretty good nonetheless.
You should watch The Insider. It stars Russel Crowe and Al Pacino and is also based on a true story. It's one of his greatest performances and no one ever talks about it. Would love to see your reaction to it.
Agree that The Insider is a great film. And not an action movie. Crowe delivers a great performance.
He was nominated for an Oscar for this role also. Nominated three years in a row.
Yes!
I'm a guy. I'm supposed to like action blow 'em up movies, superhero movies, and monster movies and dinosaurs, etc.
But this is one of my favorite movies that's close to the heart. I watch it only once in a while so as not to taint the integrity of the film for me by seeing it so often it dulls the senses of why I love this movie so much.
I don't relate to schizophrenia. It's not in my family but I don't believe you have to relate in order to appreciate this film. Jennifer Connelly is also one of my most favorite female actresses.
And I love her character's sentiment in relating love to the mathematical equation of the universe so John Nash could understand. -OG
“I maybe should’ve asked at the start if I’m going to understand this movie….” Well, I must admit that it helps quite a bit if you know what the “Nash Equilibrium” was, and why it became revolutionary.
I love to see you evolve and the way you think about the characters, the deep emotional details as well.
4:57 "I think that would have worked on me" - LOL 😆
the reference to "harvey," at about 21:55, refers to the popular stage play and movie of the early 1950s, the time period depicted at that point in the film. the movie, i think the play too, stars jimmy stewart as "elwood p. dowd" who has a very special friend. i highly recommend "harvey.' its very funny and rather heartwarming too.
what he does at 28:31 is a psyche technique called a "reality check." its simply a matter of getting confirmation from someone you trust on the reality of an event or thought. a good "reality check" is something the whole world desperately needs at the moment.
I second everyone's recommendation for master and commander. It is a great movie that was buried by the success of Return of the king that year.
So today we learnt that if you want to win Dawn's heart you should give her a nice pen and ask if she wants to exchange fluids!🤣🤣🤣
And from that I think we can conclude that you have a beautiful mind too Dawn. When I say beautiful I mean 'interesting', 'different', 'bizarre', 'crazy', but we love you anyway!😄
P.S. If you enjoyed that then I recommend watching 'Shine' which stars Geoffrey Rush.
i dont see this fun fact in the comments yet. the actor who plays the imaginary roommate married jennifer connolly (johns wife) right after sept.11 2001. i forget his name, but the way he told it in an interview, they met briefly doing this movie, and after the terrorist attack he called her and said "i have to be with you im flying right over". so thats over 20 happy years and going strong. see sometimes sudden love works out in the long term.
This is a phenomenal film with a very special guest as Russell is crossing the campus just prior to the Nobel prize scene Russell Crowe stops to take a rest and sits on a wooden bench in the courtyard there is an elderly gentleman sitting there who says good afternoon professor, that gentle man. Is the real professor John Nash
The pens represent that whenever he should have an idea, he will always have something to write with
My mum had shock therapy in the early 2000's that saved her life, its rarely used still but it can have benefits and it broke her out of a psychosis.
Such a wonderful movie. One of your best movie reactions! Thanks for sharing.
YES - Cinderella Man !!! Another true story starring Crowe AND the same director, Ron Howard !!! Also react to Ron Howard’s movie “Apollo 13” - another true story of triumph over disaster of the NASA Moon Space program. 2 great movies to react to as only you can, fun and delightful !!!
Hi Dawn, I have a complaint to make.
At 15:02 in your video you said "A brilliant mind is a dangerous mind, which is why I'll never be in danger".
At that moment I was drinking a cup of coffee and your video caused me to break out in laughter and spill coffee on my shirt!😀
Seriously, This is my favourite ever movie. I loved your reaction to it. Thanks for your videos.
i had a friend in school. he was a super genius. but no one knew it cuz his grades were mediocre. so anywho. later on we noticed he had mental health issues. he transfered schools. the councelor of his new school noticed his mental illness. they figured out he had a chemical imbalance. they gave him medication which rebalanced his brain chemistry and it lt him finally be able to focus. and he started exploding his school tests and he was skipped a grade or 2. turns out he was a super genius the whole time n his high intelligence was the culprit for his brain's chem imbalance. and then he went to a school for geniuses. s i know someone just like this movie character. it happens.
5:01 You are such a hoot. A person could be having the crappiest day ever and one quip from you will make all that go away. As far as another Russell Crow movie ... there are so many but I would say Master And Commander should be on the top of the list.
“I said Oppenheimer first, so I’m a genius. “. Hahahaha. That made me laugh.
Just so you know, I wouldn’t say this movie is a true story. It’s based on a true story. Ron Howard changed a lot of the facts of his life to get a good movie. I do believe it does capture the heart and soul of his life. John Nash did not see people that weren’t there. He heard voices telling him things (from outer space, I think). His wife divorced him but came back later in his life to care for him because he was left alone. He was a mathematical genius and did come up with formula that was used in many applications. He did that early in his life. The sickness that came upon him later almost left him crippled mentally. But he did come back. His biography is very much worth reading. If you’ve ever faced a problem that seems impossible to solve, especially if it’s about yourself, it will speak to you.
P.S. The Insider is another great Russell Crowe performance. I never hear people mention it. Another true story. Check it out.
In real life he was never on medication or went to a hospital from 1970 on and he wasnt happy they didnt show him off his meds in the movie.
"A beautiful Mind" watched by a pair beautiful of eyes😍👁👁
You laughing at "bequeath" made my weekend. lol.
Russel Crowe was actually an Australian pop star in the 1980's. He had the cheesey 80s clothes and the hockey hair. Pretty funny.
One of my all time favorites! Not enough have seen this movie and performance
I've taught math at several levels, and I am convinced everyone is good at math, just not everyone knows it. A lot of people are convinced by bad teachers that understanding math is out of their capacity, and when I taught remedial math the first thing I had to do was helping my students to get rid of that misconception. After that, the rest was easy.
In brief, if you really want to understand math (and physics), what you need is a teacher that can show you the principles in a form that makes sense to you, not someone who expects you to make sense of the jargon in a vacuum.
If you want to watch a movie that shows what I mean, I recommend Stand and Deliver. James Olmos recreating a real story of a math teacher.
Dear Dawn: you’ll love “theory of everything;” nominated for best picture and 2 outstanding performances by the 2 leads ( 2014)
YES, the true story of Stephen Hawking. 👍👍👍
U know it!
I saw this with a friend of mine, and it really freaked him out. “I can’t imagine finding out you don’t exist, never did, and all this time I’ve just been going to the park or something.”
Dawn: "It would of worked on me"
Don't give away any secrets Dawn, lol! Great reaction I enjoyed it.
Professor Nash and his wife were killed in 2015 on the New Jersey Turnpike in a car accident on their way home from Newark Airport after returning to the U.S. from a trip.
The first movie I saw with Russell Crowe in it was "The Sum of Us". Jack Thompson played his dad and, in the years since, Russell seems to have morphed into Jack.
"I think that man is in 'Friends'." Yes, he was! Very briefly. He played Chandler's crazy roommate after Joey moved out. He also was the Jewish soldier in "Saving Private Ryan".
On May 23, 2015, Nash and his wife died in a car accident while returning home from receiving the Abel Prize.
I love your reaction. Thank you. This is one of my all-time favorite movies. I loved the surprise and the subject matter. I like the character so much that I didn't even remember that Russell Crowe was the actor, as he disappears into the role of John Nash. Check out LA Confidential. Very different guy, but a good portrayal by Russell Crowe. Must watch.
You should also watch Master and Commander: The far side of the world. It also stars Paul Bettany (the imaginary roommate).
Also, watch Man of Steel. Granted, its not specifically a Russell Crowe film but his character is troughout the film.
Particularly in the beginning as Superman's father. And a holographic image of Superman's father troughout later. -OG
Master and Commander, a must watch. Also great reaction for A Beautiful Mind.
If you're looking for any other "mind bendy" movies, some you may not have seen are Shutter Island, Memento, Requiem for a Dream, The Machinist, The Game, Jacob's Ladder, Dreamscape, and Moon.
Yes. If you want a mind twisting movie you have to watch The Game
And VANILLA SKY, starring Tom Cruise. That's a mind-blowing film that defies definition.
"Memento" is great! "Moon" is also really under appreciated. Like "Castaway", so much of it is all about one isolated character, the lead actor really has to shine for it to work, and Sam Rockwell was terrific.
Solid list. I'd add What Dreams May Come, it's a good'n.
Without hyperbole... it's getting to a point that I sometime 'haven't' truly seen a movie in whole until I see it through you..., yeah, it's kinda getting to that point. Somewheres in the last half a dozen film posts it started to occur to me. ANYhoo!
A lot of people here in the comments have rightfully suggested some pretty phenomenal/must-see Russell Crowe flicks, and they are correct. I'm just going to throw one in the pile that is more of a comfy blanket wee-little nothings n meanderings of a movie... his team-up with his Gladiator director, Ridley Scott, and that's A Good Year. Just a warm grin-fest to be had, nothing big otherwise. I hope you try it one day, even if on your own time to chill out to :)
p.s. you rock, Dawn.
"Cinderella Man" is a must see! If I remember correctly, the time period is The Great Depression that happened in the US. Amazing film!
This was and is an incredible story and movie. I think it won like 6000 oscars.
4
Please, Dawn Marie, consider Awakenings (1990). It's a tragedy that this movie isn't getting attention!
John Nash was a real person and he won the Nobel Prize in economics for the Nash equilibrium theory. He also won the Abel Prize for his contribution to the field of partial differential equations.
BTW, he didn't have visual hallucinations like in the movie. He didn't see any of those people. He heard voices. Or more accurately, he heard his subconscious and thought that it was voices.
That pick up line about fluid exchange will work on Dawn. lol
This is a great movie. Love your reaction as always. Fun fact: the scene where John "meets" the psychiatrist was shot at Manhattan College in my neighborhood in the Bronx!😊
Great movie.
(I also like that you react to movies much older than this. Keep up the journey!)
This is one of my favorite films, I love so much about it but the ONE thing that annoys me is how they have Nash go back to medication in the movie when he never did in real life
"A brilliant mind is a dangerous mind, which is why I'll never be in danger". Lmao, again. By that standard the vast majority of us won't be, so you're in some pretty decent company!🧠 And yes, John Forbes Nash & his wife Alicia were real people👩❤️👨
Important to note: based on real people, but not remotely a true story. Nash has said the movie has no root in reality. He never had any visual hallucinations. They divorced decades before. He never took any medications. They gave him insulin induced seizures, which in fact CAUSED many of his issues. He was only let out because he acted compliant. Good movie. Complete butchering of his life.
This is a really stellar performance from Crowe. And the pencils are called China pencils or Chinagraph grease pencils. Under rated. Old school wipe off markers. :)
One of the problems with medicating illnesses like schizophrenia is that we're not very good at targeting them, so a level that allows someone to function safely can also knock out their ability to do/feel a bunch of desirable things too (the scene where John is just holding the baby without reacting always gets to me). I've seen it firsthand with someone close, where it has swung from them literally taking themselves off-grid in a foreign country and us having to talk to the police and the British Embassy, to them just sitting in our house too shut down to communicate. They have found a balance now, but they need to keep monitoring it.
I recommend _Harvey_ if you haven't seen it yet (it's referenced briefly in this one), given your enjoyment of B&W movies. It stars James Stewart who you saw in _Rear_ _Window._
“…but I paid that no mind. In a small town, you get used to everyone knowing your name.”
Harvey is a joke that goes right over if you don't know. And I didn't know. I did get it watching this reaction, finally. Years ago, i thought he just pulled a name out of his hat. It was also used in Who Framed Roger Rabbit. Of course, I didn't get it then either.
Master and Commander. You will love it!
Russell Crowe did not win an Academy Award for A Beautiful Mind, though he won a number of other awards for this performance. Jennifer Connelly won a Best Supporting Actress Oscar for her performance in this movie.
Two very strong recommendations for Russell Crowe movies:
"Master and Commander" reunites him with his "prodigal roomate" co-star. Its a historical movie abord a Navy Sailing ship. Fantastically authentic portrayal of life in the British Navy, very intense battle scenes, witty dialog and of course fantastic acting.
"LA Confidential" is a police ensemble drama set in 1950s Los Angeles. Another fantastically acted story with many recognizable stars. Russell Crowe plays a tough cop with a has a thing for punishing women beaters.
Definitely tell all your friends about A Beautiful Mind. Everyone should get a chance to see this amazing fim. -OG
Thinking about it.. his wife has the beautiful mind.
Yeah, Russell Crowe definitely raised some hell back in the day, haha. Great reaction to a classic, amazing film, a masterpiece. Example: Notice when John first meets Charles' niece....a little bit after they meet she runs off thru the grass & thru the pigeons, but the pigeons dont move, in real life they would've flown off, or at least stirred, but theres nothing , no movement..... all of it giving a subtle clue that something is off ....that was absolute INGENIOUS, subtle use of CGI back in the day too, a "less is more" kind of thing....everyone else back then used CGI for explosions & monsters, & more explosions & more monsters, ad nauseum.
I don't actually know the rules of go, but based on what I think the rules of go are you're right Marie, he had an option.
excellent reaction. Have a great day! When he says goodbye to his hallucinations Just so touching. Glad you caught that.
Yeah, Mr. Crowe's been a bit naughty in his personal life. Temper, temper. But his films are some of my contemporary faves. Can't wait for you to do L.A. Confidential, Master & Commander, Cinderella Man
Master & Commander is another great film, and also stars Paul Bettany (roommate in this film) with Russell. I recommend it highly. Cinderella Man is also excellent and heartwarming, but is a boxing film. If you can handle the punching, it's well worth the watch. It's based on a real story. Also, not everybody realizes the Max Baer in the movie (not the actor) is the father of the Max Baer Jr. who played Jethro Bodine in the Beverly Hillbillies.
@@chadbennett7873 She's got to be able to handle the punching! Still has the whole Rocky series to do, Raging Bull, Body & Soul... Besides, Dawn's Scottish. That ends the discussion!😁
@@louismarzullo1190 Dawn is a total sweetheart, and yes, she can handle anything.
@@louismarzullo1190 I love her brogue, it makes her clever comments so much cuter. I visited Scotland, and consider it the only other place in the world I would live. I also bought a square foot of land in Scotland so I could be a Laird … since I have Scottish heritage. Yeah, I know you’re right … she can handle anything.
Russel Crowe is a G!
Broke my heart when i saw him selling his museum of movie memoribilia(? English isnt my first language and that word just threw me on a loop😅) because of his divorce :/
A close relative has had something similar including carrying on conversations with nobody there and emotional outbursts plus erratic behavior. This has gone on for a few years but 3 or 4 months ago her psychologist doctor prescribed a new medicine that seems to work extremely well.
She's gotten a full-time job, drives herself around and no longer carries on conversations with imaginary people.
It's been a very stressful time for everyone but I'm glad I never gave up on her.
Thank God she's almost perfect today.
The film is based on a true story I have found the lengthy article about John Nash on Wikipedia very interesting but if you only want to read it for five minutes you will learn the basic story of his life. An amazing and extraordinary man who has helped create our modern world
The followers of his insane ideas nearly destroyed the planet, it's sheer good fortune that we survived the cold war.
This movie is stressful, but very satisfying. “Cinderella Man” is absolutely next on the list.
High math is basically making a statement [in words like in a sentence] then translating that sentence [that is saying something] into a mathematical equation. His achievement [his contribution to society] was to "re-do" an equation that had been accepted for years as to how the relationship of individuals to a group effort was best seen. Before Nash it was mathematically accepted that for a group as a whole to do its best toward any given goal it was best for each man [or woman] in the group to do what was best for him or herself. What Nash stated first then PROVED mathematically was that the existing idea was flawed. It was "incomplete" [to put it in Nash's terms]. He proved mathematically that in order for any group with a set goal to best achieve that goal it IS NOT best for the group for every member to do what is best for that individual but rather that it is a balance between the group and the individuals and that for the goal to be most rapidly and best achieved each member of the group must simultaneously do what is best for him or herself AND what is best for the group. That means not only thinking of oneself [working toward the end goal] but rather keeping in mind the group as a whole reaching the goal together is the best way for everyone. As was written at the end of this movie the equation he came up with [that proved "what is best for the group as a whole is best achieved by thinking of the group as each individual also thinks of himself"] is used today in all sorts of ways from businesses to treaties between countries and more. It was his thinking about his small group and the blond and her group that put his math into words [that clip was not left in this edit]. You would think it was simple but his little idea that each man should not try for the big prize but rather each of them should accept the blond girls' friends as their conquest and everyone wins was a really big deal when proved mathematically to the science field in general. [it helped allot as the last equation that was standing in for his until that point was flawed as he pointed out] Great movie. Great reaction.
"I thought he said if you leave your dress at my office" 🤣😂🤣. I still say Dawn is a guy disguised as a beautiful woman! But it's lines like "My heart feels like it just got a massive meal. It's had a good feed today" that really keep me coming back🥲
I sometimes think this too Louis!! 🤣

Last year I contracted a nasty staph infection that shut down my kidneys and pancreas. I had to be rushed to the hospital and placed on machines. They gave me a combination of drugs that included fentanyl and morphine. I have never hallucinated in my life, but for those eleven days I was in the ICU I hallucinated people and events that I genuinely believed was real. It was the most surreal and frightening time of my life. The hallucinations looked and sounded so absolutely real. The only way I knew later they were hallucinations was because of the crazy, irrational things they were saying.
It's a very unique movie 🎥 . It proves that R . C. Is a great actor. Jennifer Connelly was great as well.
When you said "I thought he was gonna make her walk out naked" I busted out laughing so hard! You are quite funny Dawn. You should be a comedian or a comedic commentator. You are a natural and everyone loves your smile and laughter. You're awesome and I love watching your reactions. Keep it up.
Another, really good Russell Crowe movie is L.A. Confidential.
This was one of my favourite movies when it came out and i was 14, dont deal with what nash went through but i found it oddly comforting at the time ('filled my heart' was a great way you expressed it). Its still up there, this reaction was a happy stroll back to that time. Thanks as always.
I I love your genuine heartfelt reactions! you always make me l
as said before, you laugh at things most women won't or don't get. your reactions are great fun.
One of the best movies ever made, also a very difficult movie to watch at times
