A Beautiful Mind

A beautiful movie indeed.

I've heard about this movie for the first time from dr.Kris, a resident in Psychiatry Department, that was more than 10 months ago. It was just yesterday I watched it and I regretted for not doing it much earlier, when I'm in the department.

But better late than never.

A Beautiful Mind(2001), a film inspired from the life of dr. John Forbes Nash, a mathematical genius who made some of greatest discoveries in economic history. He is always unique in other people eyes, asocial but that's the thing that attracts people to him. He met his wife, Alicia Larde which is also one of his students at MIT. At the same time he works as a code broker for a classified bureau, and not long after that a tragedy occurs. This is when his life changed 180 degrees.

I don't want to spoil the main twist of the story, but I have to mention this; the movie are very successful in showing me a perspective of a troubled man's eye, that millions of other people out there were also suffering. And what's extraordinary about this story is that he achieved what people thought is impossible. That's an inspiration.

I insist all of you who read this, please go watch this movie. The first 15 minutes might be a little bit dull and too complicated for us to understand, but then the pace will get better and let you stuck to your seat till the end.

I have to remind you that this story isn't truly based on dr. John Nash's actual life as many facts were deliberately omitted from the film.

*A Beautiful Mind starred Russel Crowe, Ed Harris and Jennifer Connelly and directed by Ron Howard.
