The rhythm of the first half of the movie is very fast. If I hadn't read the biography, it would be incomprehensible. Nash once joined a national defense organization, but it is not stated in his biography that he was engaged in deciphering work. This part of the plot feels like the screenwriter wrote it himself in order to increase the visibility of the story.
There are many places where this movie was compiled. For example, the relationship between Nash and her wife is not as romantic and sentimental as seen in the movie, and even somewhat cruel. The movie ignores Nash's own entanglement about feelings.
Regarding Nash's theoretical merits and demerits, the film itself has a description, but it seems to be in a secondary position. It's the description of Nash's schizophrenia that is particularly sensational. When I was reading the biography, I had no idea of what Nash had imagined in his mind. For example, it says in the book that he constantly writes postcards, and was shot into letters in the movie. When I was reading, I didn't know the purpose of this behavior, but now I suddenly understood.
The book says that Nash suffers from a phobia of being victimized. In the movie, Nash's brain is concretized into three roles. I think this is particularly good. I didn't expect the screenwriter to deal with Nash's spiritual world in this way.
It is said in the movie that Nash relied on his own will to defeat schizophrenia, which I believe. But the director essentially agrees that Nash has not walked out of his schizophrenic world. You see the three recurring roles in the movie. Although Nash said goodbye to the little girl in the end, she did not leave. It's just that Nash kept a distance from them.
This should be where the film succeeded. Just like at the beginning of the film, Nash said, "My teacher said that I have two brains, but only half a heart." This sentence implies that Nash had already developed schizophrenia symptoms at the time.
There was only a thin line between the genius and the lunatic. In the end, when the Nobel Prize was awarded, Nash admitted frankly that he was not getting better and that he himself was still a lunatic. I think this is who he knows himself.
Sure enough, in order to emphasize the viewability of the story, the film described Nash's life in a particularly miserable way. He said that he has no family, but in fact it is not, his parents are very good. Moreover, in the biography, Nash once had an affair with a female nurse and had an illegitimate child. The movie here does not say it, but describes the relationship between Nash and Alicia so steadfastly. In fact, when Nash was seriously ill, she asked for a divorce from him.
The finishing touch of this movie is the ceremony of giving the pen. After reading Nash written by Shen Danqi, I know that this ceremony is actually a fictitious one. But seeing this, I still couldn't help crying, there was no way. However, even if I know the ending, I still watch it wonderfully.
In fact, Nash especially hopes that his genius can be recognized by others. I guess this is also the reason for his collapse, because his theory is original, and his self-discipline requirements are particularly high. Therefore, at the beginning of the movie, there will be a game between him and young people of the same generation. It is a pity that he won the Nobel Prize but not the Fields Prize.
Genius is really a wealth given by God, you have talent, and then use your talent to change the world. Lee recently read an interview, he said: "I have this talent, you have to shoot good movies, I owe the audience's favor."
Has been thought good to write what the title of this short commentary, think of the movie there The sentence: "Use the head of a genius to exchange the head of a genius." I like this sentence very much. I wanted to talk about becoming a talent, but I will talk about it later.
There is also this named Beautiful Mind. In fact, after reading the book, you will find that Nash's mind is dark, eccentric, lonely, and insecure. However, he does have the most precious thing in it, that is innocence. Ordinary people have long forgotten what innocence is under the influence of the world. But Nash, there is always a child in his heart, this child is the little girl in the movie, I think. This is why Nash said in the movie: "She exists, she never grew up."
There is something to be emphasized, although I have been comparing the differences between books and movies in the previous section. I saw film critics who said that the film distorted a lot of facts. My point of view is that the film itself is an art higher than life. You can see the shadow of reality in the film, but what the film conveys is to teach you how to face reality for good. This is different in itself. At first, I was a little disgusted with the fact that the film distorted the facts. During the three years of studying journalism, I also felt that all facts should prevail and be presented. This is the reason why I can't write a good story, and I haven't been able to develop the underlying imagination.
Worship the mathematician again, and worship the beautiful heroine again.
