Different imagination

I have always felt that watching Russell Crowe pretend to be cool with no expression on his face, and after watching it for a long time, I can see the taste of an idiot. Winning the Oscar for Best Actor with "Gladiator" is simply a challenge to the authority of this award! It wasn't until later that I saw "Beautiful Mind" that he knew it was compensation for his work the previous year.
Everyone has his own imagination. I have a friend who once told me his fantasy. He always likes to imagine that he has encountered many difficulties with her girlfriend and then overcomes them together, or that his girlfriend has suddenly suffered a terminal illness or a major car accident. Turning into a disability, he silently took care of her all her life, a bit perverted, but it is estimated that many men have such fantasies. "Beautiful Mind" is a movie about imagination. The imagination of the Nobel Prize winner is obviously extraordinary, and Russell Crowe's performance is wonderful!
The slogan on the poster is especially classic "He saw the world in a way no one could have imagined". John Nash’s world is "inside and out" clearly. From the outside, this is a nerd who has no interest in life and no imagination (after Russell Crowe deliberately gain weight, his original "idiot" expression is just right). It is the stormy seas, friendship, family affection, agents, state secrets, hunting down, everything, his thinking organization created all of this, and maximized its lifelikeness. John Nash is definitely a rich imaginative person, but his reverie has entered another way.
In an impressive scene, John Nash and a class of classmates were sitting in a school pub drinking beer. At this time, three girls came in, one of them was a very beautiful blonde. When the others were commenting and eager to try, Nash quickly devised a formula in his mind that could ensure the successful appointment of this beauty, but instead of implementing it, he rushed back to the bedroom and wrote it on the glass window.
To become a scientist in the true sense, it is not enough to have rich imagination and talent. You have to have strong nerves. Although John Nash is a madman, he is absolutely strong. He bit his arm open with his teeth and found that he had not found the chip implanted by the agent in his memory. This fact told him that the doctor might be right, and he might be crazy. Although helpless, he just responded with "It's gone" "When he finally knew that his only friend and his little niece were just fantasizing, he squatted in front of the little girl and said: "My dear, I love you and will continue to love you, but I will never again. I talked to you." In the face of the little girl's tears, he also cried, but after the tears turned and left, he never said a word to her again, putting himself in the position and thinking, I definitely can't do it myself, I'm not that strong.
There is a supporting role in the film, a classmate of John Nash. Nash was once a defeated player on the Go board. This person is outstanding and personable. Later, he served as the director of the Princeton Department of Mathematics. With his help, John Nash suffered from a mental illness. The patient returned to campus, taught and researched, and finally won the Nobel Prize. He may also be a professor, a famous scholar, but the destined thing is that he has no chance to become a great scientist. The "conventionalization" of his thinking and life, and the smoothness in some cases, destined him not to be a scientist in the annals of history. A good scientist and a good artist are alike. The most valuable quality is a kind of naivety close to blankness. When any artistic creation or scientific research brings even a small amount of utilitarianism, it will inevitably run counter to achievement.
There is also a scientific researcher beside me who studies many unconquered viruses in the world, repeatedly clones and cultivates viruses, and then tries to kill them in different ways, day after day. As a woman, and she is quite beautiful, she hardly wears makeup, she rarely cares about dressing, and sometimes she doesn’t even bother to comb her hair. She usually falls asleep halfway through watching any movies. Many jokes have to be told to her twice, and she never considers the color of the handbag. Or perfume brands, I always say to her: "It's really unimaginative." In short, she is a different woman. But every time she enters a state of contemplation in front of the computer, I think of John Nash, what is she thinking? Is it a cumbersome formula? Sequence of genes? Another massacre of the globular virus? Or a bizarre story? After all, I think that is a different kind of imagination.
