As the movie started I was wondering if its action, drama, comedy or somewhat like a true story.
At first I feel boring because it’s just conversations and I could not relate to any situation. But as the movie goes on I was enlightened when he was caught and sent to a hospital by a psychiatric. Before that happen I was really amazed how genius he was and create a theory, with all the mathematical symbols and others. Unfortunately he was this type of person who is alone always, do things by himself.He doesn’t even have a family who could take care of him and talk to him that a family should do. Because of this situation of him he started to have an illusion friend which he thinks his roommate and they become best buddies.
Whenever he went his imaginary friend always support at him, later on he realizes it was all an illusions. The main character was John Nash who graduated in Princeton. He is almost obsessed to be recognized for original work and begins writing his formulas on windows and napkins while slapping his colleagues with many insulting, yet witty comments.Nash's work on Game Theory in the early stages has Nash comparing it to football, pigeon feeding habits and picking up women. It's the bar scene where Nash has his big 'Ah Ha' moment.
While Nash and his friends all have their eyes on the same Blonde woman, you begin to sense his 'genius moment'. He surprises his colleagues with the question that if we all want the same woman, nobody wins, if we all go after her friends, nobody wins, and thus there must be a solution to ensure that everyone wins.With that, Nash writes a formula on a napkin, rushes out of the bar and works feverishly on his new theory. Thanks to the blonde woman.
Finally he formulated his theory and creates a wonderful method. Later on to his life he was become a famous code breaker and a professor. I could really say he is really an amazing man. I could never be like him but he could be an inspiration in the course I could get. The first portion of A Beautiful Mind focuses extensively on Nash's mathematical life.
As the movie progresses, we see the devastating impact that the paranoid schizophrenia has on this brilliant mathematician. Schizophrenia is a psychotic disorder (or a group of disorders) marked by severely impaired thinking, emotions, and behaviors. Schizophrenic patients are typically unable to filter sensory stimuli and may have enhanced perceptions of sounds, colors, and other features of their environment. Most schizophrenics, if untreated, gradually withdraw from interactions with other people, and lose their ability to take care of personal needs and grooming.Nash believes that he's cracking code for the Pentagon, he sees bizarre and twisted messages in newspapers and magazines and invisible algorithms everywhere, the imaginary people become more and more prevalent and we see his overall descent into madness.
His hallucinations become severe. I ask myself what if I have this disorder can I really make a solution to be the same like others because here in our country when you are crazy they will neglect you and discriminate you, instead, we should understand the situation and help them to recover.This is an inspiration to my life. Though I don’t have yet this illness but my knowledge about this is deeper. Aside from that I’m a psychology student it is in our profession to handle this kind of situation after we graduate.
It is our duty to do our best to be patient and to help them recover from what they feel and what’s in their mind because in psychology we study the patterns of such behaviors.
