Geniuses, ordinary people who are not too ordinary

For a biographical film that understands the real lives of great scientists, this is an excellent work. I reviewed it a while ago and wrote some impressions. Therefore, I re-read the New York Times economic reporter Silvia Nasa wrote "The Ghost of Princeton-Nash Biography". In fact, there are many details that are beautified or intentionally weakened in the film. For example, MIT does not have the tradition of giving pens in the film, and there is no Wheeler Lab. The Nobel Prize speech, for example, Nash’s history of homosexuality and his irresponsibility to his former girlfriend, Nash and Alicia actually divorced many years ago, and Nash’s son also suffered from a serious mental illness. The award was not as normal as the movie showed. Little Nash even beat up the elderly Nash and Alicia in the street because he couldn't withdraw money from the ATM, and was reported to the police by passers-by... ...

Although the film is an art after all, in order to render the theme, it will do some artistic treatment, but it still gives us an opportunity to get to know the masters more closely, understand their lives, their troubles, and their Thoughts, after all, geniuses are also mortals, not ordinary ordinary people, we are to understand them, to feel them, but also to learn their thoughts.
