A beautiful mind with Russel Crowe on DVD
) 
8 of 11 people found this review helpful.
"A Beautiful Mind" explores the tangent experience of the schizophrenic main character, but more than that, it invites the audience into the experience of schizophrenia itself. The film accomplishes this feat quite convincingly from its onset, as the main character's hallucinations are indistinguishable to the viewer. Eventually the main character's delusions become evident, but the powerful thrust of the plot of the film resides long within the viewer as a result of joining the main character in his delusional world. It is not until the end of the film that the viewer realizes that the lens through which the plot is revealed is that of the mentally ill character.
This feature of the film leaves the viewer with a first-hand knowledge of the schizophrenic experience and a lingering admiration for those people who live their daily lives through the schizophrenic lens. A landmark film to be lauded for its bravery in lovingly tackling this often misunderstood mental illness which is frequently marginalized and demonized by hegemonic society.

A Beautiful Mind is one of the best films I have ever seen. Russell Crowe plays the part really well, drawing you into the story. Watching it for the first time you really enter the character, and as a viewer can't distinguish who is real, and who is a victim of Nash's schizophrenia. It's the closest I hope that I will ever come to knowing what it's really like. Towards the end of the film the makeup used to age the characters looks too artificial, but that's the only complaint and doesn't distract from this as a great film. It certainly leaves a lump in the throat at the end.

Have seen the film before, but it is such an excellent film that everyone can relate to. A great storyline, interesting twist and great metaphors that are true. Powerful, compelling, emotional film portraying such a genius.
As always Russell Crowe delivers an excellent performance.
