Haven't seen it yet - don't spoil it for me -g/-ng Why is the main character bipolar or something? Rob edit: A Beautiful Mind is the true life story of John Forbes Nash Jr., a mathematical genius and Nobel Prize winner, who simply wants to think--about theories, about life, about love--if only his own mind would let him do it. Story The film spans the life of John Nash (Russell Crowe)-from mathematical prodigy, to delusional schizophrenic, to Nobel Prize winner. We first meet John in 1948, and he is entering Princeton University as a graduate student. He rarely goes to class and calculates his mathematical theories on dorm room and library windows. Most of his colleagues steer clear of him, except his roommate, Charles (Paul Bettany), who tries to lighten him up. John eventually closes in on a hypothesis for an economic theory and becomes a star in the math world. He lands a prestigious position at MIT, meets his wife, Alicia (Jennifer Connelly) and consults for the Pentagon, cracking impossible codes no one else can. He meets William Parcher (Ed Harris), a CIA agent who brings John in on a top-secret government operation to catch Russian spies--or so we think. Unbeknownst to those around him, Nash's "beautiful mind" is descending into madness and his grip on reality is fading. hollywood.com Suggesting limtex is descending into madness and detachment from reality is a little much, doncha think? Personally, I prefer Python humor... Dennis edit 2: Sounds like a beautiful ending for limtex, or dennis... More importantly, in Nash's later life, he finally gains the respect and admiration he deserves from his peers.
