"Beautiful Mind" was inspirational, riveting yes, too bad not factual though Pittsburgh newspaper pointed out omissions and departures - Nash was undergraduate at Carnegie Tech (now Carnegie Mellon) - Nash had child out of wedlock before marrrying MIT woman - Nash possibly was bisexual - Nash divorced wife in movie, met at MIT I wonder if his ex-wife attended the Nobel Prize ceremony very interesting plot, more interesting topic for Nobel work disputes Adam Smith's long-held premise "needs of society best served by individuals each pursuing own needs" Nash's premise supercedes this with needs of society or a group pursued together applied to labor negotiations, federal auctions, even evolutionary biology in the past I have read here&there about evolutionary biology it is fascinating, with greater need prevailing while favoritism to "relatives" clearly demonstrated still, I loved the movie and agree Crowe will be a lead runner for Oscar Best Actor but I doubt Ed Harris will go far as Supporting Actor Ron Howard just might get a Director Oscar has Howard received any previous Oscars? dont think so / Jim
