From the heights of notoriety to the depths of depravity, John Forbes Nash, Jr. experiences it all. A mathematical genius, he made an astonishing discovery early in his career and stood on the brink of international acclaim. But the handsome and arrogant Nash soon found himself on a painful and harrowing journey of self-discovery once he was diagnosed with schizophrenia. After many years of struggle, he eventually triumphed over this tragedy, and finally, late in life, received the Nobel Prize.

Bill's Comments

Okay, hand out the 2001 Oscars. Best Movie, Best Actor, Best Director. All these and maybe more could go to this movie. It's surely the best film I've seen this year. It's very intense and I'm sure that some people will not find it all that entertaining. But, boy it's GOOD.

It's a true story about a math genius that goes a little bit crazy. It's intense, it's a great love story, it's a great biography. I think I've liked every movie that Ron Howard has directed and I've always enjoyed Russell Crowe's acting. In this one, they've both outdone themselves. Go see it.
