The story begins in 1947, when the young Nash won a prestigious scholarship and entered Princeton University to study mathematics. He behaves strangely and has no interest in social communication and class. He only chats with his roommate, thinking that his roommate is the person who knows him best. Indulging in one thing all day, looking for a truly creative theory, he firmly believes that this is what he should do. An occasional social gathering inspired him. He wrote a paper on game theory-"Mathematics in Competition"-boldly making a difference to the theory of Adam Smith, the father of modern economy explanation of. This idea, which has been accepted by people for 150 years, suddenly became obsolete, and Nash's life has since changed.
Later, Nash entered the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. Under the social background of the Cold War at that time, he was eager to get an opportunity to show his superiority. Following this, a mysterious man named Parcher recruited him to conduct a secret deciphering operation, which is to find the code in the magazine. While working at MIT, Nash also reaped his love. After meeting his roommate and niece, he summoned his courage to marry the young and beautiful Alicia. Soon after the marriage, as Nash had been working on deciphering missions in secret, he became panicked and always had the illusion that a spy was chasing him. A lecture at Harvard finally made it clear that Nash was suffering from schizophrenia.
It turned out that the roommate, the roommate's niece, and the mysterious agent were all Nash's hallucinations, all of which he had imagined. Nash and his wife were in deep pain. However, relying on his wife's loyal love to Nash, after years of hard work, he stubbornly struggled with the disease. In 1994, he finally gained the recognition of the world—he won the Nobel Prize in Economics. .
When he first entered Princeton, he created a good friend by himself because he was not gregarious. This person understands Nash's heart very well, and has always encouraged and comforted him. After graduation, Nash did not find a girlfriend---his personality flaws made him difficult in interpersonal communication, so he created the niece of a college friend, a very cute girl, to satisfy his desire for family life. Later, in the context of the Cold War, he imagined an undercover agent who entrusted him to serve the United States and analyze the codes that existed in the magazine. All of this led to his severe psychological barriers and formed a split personality.

Nash was afraid of failure, refused to fail, and could not accept failure. There is a scene in the movie where his competitor Hansen challenges him to play a chess game. Hansen said: "Are you afraid?" Nash said confidently: "I am afraid, very afraid, but you are the one who is afraid." However, when Nash lost the chess, he was stunned, unable to accept the facts, and said "You shouldn't have won. The chess I played first was seamless. This chess must have traps." Nash stood up nervously and knocked the board over in a panic. Later, when he talked about it with his fantasizing roommate, he still brooded: "I lost to a self-righteous guy. I had the initiative. If I didn't know how to do it, I lost my hand. It must be him. A ghost in secret.” In the film, we can also see a lot of Nash’s anxiety when he is afraid of failure. When he did not write a recognized paper, he felt a deep sense of frustration and rushed into the complex writing. On the glass window of the formula, he said painfully: "I can only think of so much." Nash pursues success and honors. His emotions are deeply occupied by this desire.
Although Nash has superhuman intelligence, he is a lonely talent. When he first entered the campus, he walked up the stairs alone, with a long shadow behind him, which was a lonely figure. In the movie he talked about his views on others several times. When he chatted with the fantasy Charles for the first time, he said: "I don't like people very much, and people don't like me very much." His mentor Helinger said to him: "You may be very isolated from the world. Affected your academic development. Interpersonal interaction will bring us new vision." Nash said: "I don't make friends, because I am a stupid donkey." For the first time in his fantasy During the conversation, Pacher also said: "I like to be alone, and more importantly, people don't like me." In fact, it can be seen from the film that Princeton's environment is quite tolerant to Nass. Nash believes that people's dislike of him is just a projection of "dislike others" in his heart. His isolation isolates his emotional connection with others, especially when pressure is generated in the environment, it is easy to transform into a state of hostility to the environment, thereby aggravating his anxiety. However, he also needs to be recognized. When he saw that many teachers in the restaurant put their pens in front of an old professor to show respect, his eyes were full of desire.
In Nash’s fantasy, Charles’s personality is completely opposite to that of Nas, focusing on the characteristics of the students around Nash who are incompatible with Nash. Many aspects of Charles' personality are exactly what Nash denied. He is the shadow of Nash. When Charles first appeared in the film, he appeared as a prodigal son. It was in stark contrast with Nash's cautious expression at the time. When Nash talked about his obsessive mathematics, Charles said: "Mathematics does not bring truth, do you know why? Because he is too bored." When Nash said that he has not yet written a paper, Charles asked him: "How long have you not dated?" Unlike other classmates, Nash was recognized by Charles, who always thought he was a genius and always encouraged him. Nash, who is lonely at heart, undoubtedly needs this kind of recognition and encouragement, so Charles is also a manifestation of Nash's need to be recognized in loneliness. And the appearance of Patcher, an official of the Ministry of Defense, is because Nash wants to succeed, and it is related to the safety of the country. Participating in such a work is the ideal and desire of Nas's soul. The little girl Matthew is innocent and cute, and has never grown up. Nash cared for her meticulously and was full of love for her.
In the film, there is a touching conversation when Alissa is about to decide whether to let Nash return to the hospital. Alisa tremblingly takes Nash’s hand and puts it on his face, and then puts it on her face, "What do you know? It's true, this, this", then put Nash's hand on her heart, "and this, they are all real." Alyssa stared into his eyes and put his hand on his heart. , Said piously: "Maybe it is here. I believe that some powerful forces are entirely possible." Nash's tears finally flowed down with the whimper. Alyssa believes that Nash's heart can feel her true love, and she believes that Nash's true feelings are powerful enough for Nash to overcome the illusion and regain her lost self. With this belief, she helped Nash start the difficult journey of fighting illusions and uniting with the divided self. Alyssa encourages Nash to return to work on campus. Such an environment helps Nash maintain contact with reality and divert his attention to daily affairs. He faced the hallucinations, and whenever Pacher’s hallucinations reappeared, he shouted: "You are not real, you are not real." Although Nash is regarded as a weird person from time to time, his self-power has gradually evolved. Be stronger, and finally control his hallucinations.
Decades of struggles with mental illness have given Nash a deeper understanding of life. When he chatted with Thomas King, a member of the Nobel Foundation who came to visit him, he exclaimed: "Poetic beauty is not human nature." And he even expressed his heartfelt words at the Nobel Prize award ceremony. "I hardly believe in data, logic, and reason, but I have been pursuing it. I asked myself what logic is and who defines rationality. My questions make me revolve in the physical world. I have discovered inadvertently, but in my The most important thing in life is that I have the love of my life. If there is any reason, it is because of you, my love, and you are all my motivation!"
This is a film that makes people cry, and the love in it is so Great. Beauty is everywhere; beauty does not lie in your appearance or identity; beauty lies in your soul. Beauty wanders around us every day. As long as you carefully observe and discover with your heart, you will realize that there are so many beauties around us, but these beauties are all beautiful in different places.
Decades ago, Nash saw with envious eyes that many teachers in the restaurant put their pens in front of an old professor to show respect. After decades, after experiencing so much hardship, Nash was also here. Many teachers put their pens in front of him. There were tears in Nash's eyes, and we who watched the film were deeply moved.
Beauty, what a charming word, it brings us happiness. Only beautiful emotions can merge thought and soul, and build a unified and beautiful soul. Having a beautiful heart may be our beautiful response to the world and life. Having love makes our heart more beautiful.

The American film "A Beautiful Mind" released in 2001 was adapted and filmed based on the biography of the same name written by Sylvia Nasar for Nash. "Beautiful Mind" is a very human plot about a real genius. It tells a mathematician John who suffers from schizophrenia but has devoted himself to the field of game theory and differential geometry and won the Nobel Prize in Economics. · Forbes Nash. The biography was published in 1998. "Beautiful Mind" won four Oscars including the Best Picture Award, but Nash himself stated that the plot of the movie is not consistent with his real life.
Some critics said that Nash was lonely in his heart. His consciousness once wandered in the kingdom of numbers and equations, lacking communication and spiritual communication with other people. Looking back on his life, he played the most enduring game with a world full of loneliness and fear. Participating in this game is not only himself, but also his wife who loves him, and his relatives and friends who support and help him; of course, it also includes his enemies, whether it is the group of mathematicians who are really around him or the academic evaluation system. , Or the imaginary enemies of the interstellar universe, religion, and political forces in his mind. Now that he has walked back from the fringe of madness and helplessness and returned to the life of a normal person, this may have been a victory for him. In the movie, the trembling old man said on the podium the unsurprising reason: "Only in this mysterious love equation can all my reasons be found."

    Patience to see the highlights, classic psychology films. Biopics can also be so good-looking, especially the final farewell scene with the little girl, which is heartbreaking.

    This kind of film (including "Mind Catcher") is full of stereotype fantasies about theorists (and mentally ill patients and family members in this film), and is a "kangzhuang" astray from the ignorance of the original author. They personally spread the anti-intellectual trend to the world~
