Director Ron Howard delivers his finest effort with his extraordinary film, A BEAUTIFUL MIND, which won the Academy Award for Best Picture in 2001. Based loosely on Sylvia Nasar's acclaimed biography of mathematician John Forbes Nash, the film is a compelling look at one man's genius, his debilitating mental illness, and the fine line between the two. A BEAUTIFUL MIND begins with Nash (Russell Crowe) at Princeton, where he struggles to think of an original idea, and the stroke of genius that will make him matter. Nash is eccentric, socially awkward, and extremely competitive. Eventually, he finds the inspiration for his innovative and influential work on game theory. He's chosen for a post at MIT, which includes crucial code-breaking work for the US government. There, he meets a beautiful and brilliant student, Alicia (Jennifer Connelly). They marry but their happiness is threatened, as Nash, belatedly diagnosed as schizophrenic, descends into madness. Screenwriter Akiva Goldsman cannily condenses Nash's story, and the film manages to dramatize both Nash's mathematical brilliance and his schizophrenia in a compellingly visual manner. Crowe delivers a strong performance, and has real chemistry with Connelly. The two make the film's story about the power of love believable and moving.
Cast:
"...Mr. Crowe, with his superhuman powers of concentration, shows us a man who dwells almost entirely in an inner world, and he dramatizes that inwardness as if nobody were watching..."
-- A. O. Scott
, (New York Times)
"...[Featuring] dynamic performances and extraordinary actor chemistry..." -- Mike Clark , (USA Today) "...Director and screenwriter have found a way to convey the sensation of schizophrenia from the inside out....[An] important movie..." -- Lisa Schwarzbaum , (Entertainment Weekly) "...[Crowe] rises to the challenge of the role with fearless integrity. He's electrifying..." -- Peter Travers , (Rolling Stone) "...Consistently engrossing....This serious-minded but lively film is distinguished by an exceptional performance by Russell Crowe..." -- Todd McCarthy , (Variety) "...A BEAUTIFUL MIND's greatest strength is a beautiful performance by Russell Crowe..." -- Francesca Dinglasan , (Box Office) "...From the instant Crowe appears, it's clear this is to be a performance of faultless verisimilitude....Connelly's heart-rending performance is Best Supporting Actress material..." -- Nev Pierce , (Total Film) "...Crowe brings the character to life....[He] has an uncanny ability to modify his look to fit a role..." -- Roger Ebert , (Chicago Sun-Times)
