"Beautiful Mind" is a very human drama about a real genius. The handsome and very weird Nash made amazing mathematical discoveries in his early years and began to enjoy an international reputation. However, Nash's outstanding intuition was plagued by delusional schizophrenia, which changed his glorious journey to the highest academic level. Faced with this challenge that once destroyed many people, Nash, with the help of his beloved wife, Alicia, fought stubbornly without fear. After decades of hard work, he finally defeated this misfortune and won the Nobel Prize in 1994. Throughout the film, several hallucinations in Nash are very representative from the perspective of psychoanalysis. One is the first fantasy character created by Nash to relieve his inner anxiety about failure-Portuguese roommate Charles. Charles and Nash's rigid personality are completely opposite. After Nash was hit, he fell into anxiety and despair. He kept encouraging Nash, admitting that he was a genius, and the self-pity and self-suffering Nash undoubtedly needed such recognition and encouragement. Therefore, on the one hand, the appearance of hallucinations heralds the outbreak of Nash's illness, and from another perspective, it is also Nash's unconscious self-treatment. Charles is undoubtedly a manifestation of Nash's self-consciousness. Under Nash's rational control, all self-evident emotions are vented through Charles's behavior. Charles cursed when Nash was teased, Charles was unruly when Nash was down and gave up, Charles was ecstatic outside the door when Nash passed the thesis, and so on. Two completely different individuals constitute Nash's split personality and the origin of his schizophrenia. fierce.
