A Beautiful Mind, after watching the movie, I wondered if I could change my understanding. Because I have heard someone say that the so-called "beautiful mind" aims to praise how strong Alicia is. She never abandons her husband who has changed to schizophrenia, supports her husband and helps her to overcome the illness and return to a normal life track. Perhaps, I think this is superficial and far-fetched. Think about it as "mind" can be interpreted as "mind" or "mind". Wouldn't it be more appropriate to describe John Nash's extraordinary talent?
The beginning of the story is still a dull narrative: Princeton, college students with excellent IQ. Our protagonist, John Nash, like all students who are new to college, believes in his own talent. He does have such qualifications, because he is really an out-and-out genius, he has all the stray and casualness that fits the genius. He is proud of his talents, does not go to class, concentrates on his own research, scribbles complicated formulas on the glass of the windows, observes the pigeons fighting for food on the campus like no one, draws patterns that no one understands... But unfortunately, he There are also all the weaknesses of genius: sensitive, fragile, neurotic. He is eager to succeed, eager to be recognized, eager to prove himself, eager to get ahead. However, like all dramatic plots, he is just a weak-hearted person who is afraid of failure. So much desire is actually a source, the source of the deepest desire in his heart. This desire is so strong, like a poppy, it is addictive, but can not stop drunk.
John Nash hopes to be a hero, saving the world with his beloved numbers and logic. Narcissus, fell in love with his own reflection, and our Nash, fell in love with his own talent. However, when this love is crowned with the ambition to redeem the world, it shows too much selfishness and greatness. What is ingenious is that, just like his "game theory", it is also the study of giving the greatest benefit to the group when the individual benefit is maximized.
The absurd thing is that all those who can prove their worth are either "top secret", or electronic cipher implanted in the forearm, or Big Brother who always wears a round hat. They have never disappeared, and they have not faded. , Have never been far away, they just, really, never existed-they did not exist at all. There is a scene in the movie where Nash cut his arm and leaned against a wall covered in blood. Dr. Rosen asked him what he was doing. I thought he was trying to commit suicide, but he just said that he was gone. He thought that the high-tech electronic cipher that had been implanted in the body was gone. Nash's eyes were pure and innocent like a child. At that time, my heart hurt severely. This is the greatest pain of schizophrenic patients-all of them, beautiful, glorious, nervous and missed, none of them exist. So I could only see Nash being injected with insulin, convulsing like a sheep in the bed, receiving treatment. It's not just his wife Alicia who can't bear to look at it... The
reason for the hallucinations and schizophrenia, in my opinion, is a bondage of desire. Nash knew his talents, but he was haunted by his desires forever. So he has no choice. He can only find things that he can't get in the real world one by one in his fantasy world. We can only sigh: a true genius, a true madman.
There is only a thin line between a genius and a madman, and a great madman can realize his madness. Just like Nash, when he almost wanted to kill his wife under the control of the illusion, he realized that the little girl in the illusion had never grown up in years, and his life was hanging by a thread, and he was relieved.
From here, the movie enters a turning point. If there were still audiences who were still confused about whether it was real or fake, and whether it was a spy trick commonly used in today's commercial blockbusters, then, from here on, we can watch Nash quietly. How to continue his life, our schizophrenia is also over.
The war between man and desire has never been smoked or ended, so Nash has no way to overcome fantasy. This requirement is too harsh for a severely schizophrenic patient, but he has learned to ignore it. The little girl in the fantasy is the last tenderness in Nash's virtual world. There is a hint of helplessness and reluctance to hug and bid farewell to her, but since then, he has truly learned to control his desires. Charles, little girl, Big Brother, they just looked at Nash coldly and entangled, but they didn't get his attention and a word. "I have abandoned them, and they may also be thinking of abandoning me." This is a one-person war, and Nash must bear the ridicule of the whole world. He took everything, lonely, helpless, and flustered, and then walked on firmly and persistently.
It is worth mentioning that there are several emotions in the film. Needless to say, Acilia played by Jennifer Connelly is noble, exquisite and intelligent, with subtle details, raised eyebrows, and gaze. The scene with her is a beautiful picture. Every picture is thrilling, not to mention what a great woman this is, who has been with her "mentally ill" husband for a lifetime and will never give up. At the end of the film, the gray-haired Nash found his wife in the crowd, "I am only here because of you, you are the only reason I am, you are all the reason." Love has become a fairy tale. Today, we have any reason not to be moved. The other relationship is the friendship between Nash and Hansen. Compared with the fantasy roommate, the opponent in reality is more indifferent and less caring. The masters were sympathetic to each other, so later, it was Hansen's help that gave Nash a chance to enter Princeton again and find comfort in this familiar environment. There is such a dialogue in the movie, Hansen: You scared? Nash: Terrified. Mortified. Petrified. Stupefied... by you. The same words were repeated twice, once was the provocation when I was young and frivolous, and the other was the friendship and nostalgia after the storm. The same scene, familiar chessboard, there are always some that can slowly settle over time, accumulating deeper and deeper.
Desire was far away, the prosperity faded away, and Nash eventually became an old man. He became a legend of Pinceton, and he was a Professor Nash respected by students. When a student proposed his new research theory to him, Nash smiled slightly and thought of his past, so he kindly asked the young child: "When did you last eat?" Just like the self who had forgotten to sleep and eat at the time. Returning to campus and class is the best destination for Nash. I still remember when Nash was young, he saw a gray-haired old man in the school cafeteria accepting the respect of his colleagues and the pen that his colleagues carried with him on behalf of the highest respect. Since then, he has never been there again. There, in fact It is the initial shape of his desire, the deepest desire in his heart. I stepped there for the second time in my life, but it was in Nash's twilight years, when he was told that he had won the Nobel Prize. This time, he became the protagonist, and it was those pens that were placed in front of him-representing the supreme reverence. Echoing before and after the film, I burst into tears instantly. The winning of the Nobel Prize was also an unexpected accident. Nash, who had no desire, was recognized. At this time, Nash was not overjoyed, not mad, he was just a little startled, and then gently asked the Nobel committee members who came to inform him, you know, I'm a lunatic. Yes, he is a lunatic, a great lunatic. Realizing that he is a lunatic genius, he cast aside his desires, and finally stood on the Nobel podium, becoming an image that must be respected and looked up to.
There is another fact that cannot be ignored, that is, this is adapted from real people. The story is based on the mathematician Jr. John Forbes Nash, who graduated with a Ph.D. at the age of 21. His doctoral dissertation on non-cooperative games and others Related articles established his status as a master of game theory. At the end of the 1950s, he was already a world-famous scientist. Because of his achievements in game theory, algebraic geometry and nonlinear theory, he was elected by Fortune magazine as the most outstanding figure among the genius mathematicians active in both pure and applied mathematics fields. But at the peak of his fame, he got schizophrenia, and for the next 30 years, he has been plagued by confusion of thoughts and emotions. The talented young genius of the past has become a weirdly dressed man who likes to scribble on the blackboard and leave some weird messages. He has become a sad ghost wandering around the Princeton campus. His wife Alicia, a graduate of the Physics Department of Massachusetts Institute of Technology, showed iron will: she survived the days when her husband was confined and treated and isolated, and the only son who also suffered from schizophrenia Shock and sadness... After a long half-century, her patience and perseverance finally achieved a remarkable miracle: like her son, Professor Nash gradually recovered, and because of the groundbreaking work in game theory, she embarked on 1994 The podium of Nobel Economics in 2015. Today, Nash has basically returned to normal and restarted scientific research. He is now a professor of mathematics at Princeton University, but no longer teaches. The school’s economics department often holds forums about game theory. Nash sometimes participates, but he almost never speaks. Every time he comes quietly and walks quietly.
The charm of the film lies in the refinement of life, ignoring all the other fusion into a person's life.
Beautiful mind, beautiful life.
