A beautiful and fascinating thing, the mind sure is. This is a wonderful and touching portrayal of how a person's mind can change and, Crowe certainly illustrates how a person's mind can alter. A wonderful and enlightening look at how mental illnesses such as this can be treated and how the persons adapt and learn from them. It reminded me of a family friend who also has schizophrenia and, it allowed me to pretend this is a story on him and other people inflicted with mental illnesses. Let there be hope for their cure.Seeing Things - SPSullivan
"A Beautiful Mind" is a powerful examination of the thin line between genius and madness, and the effect that crossing that line can have on others. Crowe offers another stunning performance as Nash, reaching perhaps a new milestone in a career already encompassing such accomplishments as his roles in "L.A. Confidential" and "The Insider". Crowe portrays Nash as being awkward enough that his descent into madness is neither immediately obvious, nor entirely surprising. At the same time, the man's genius and fundamental goodness are evident as well: Nash is not some sideshow freak, but rather a figure whom we can both respect and care about. Howard's direction is excellent. Wisely, through the first half of the film he treats Nash's delusions as if they actually were real, greatly enhancing the audience appreciation of what he is enduring. Only in retrospect do the events Nash imagines really seem far-fetched; up to that point, they do not seem particularly out-of-keeping with Cold War-era America, and certainly not in a cinematic portrayal of that period. "A Beautiful Mind" avoids the soppy sentimentality which often burdens this kind of film; it is a fascinating and sobering depiction of the life of a brilliant man and the debilitating illness which never quite succeeded in bringing him down. "A Beautiful Mind" is a beautiful movie.Génial... - Goldau
Un film très touchant qui nous démontre que la maladie frappe n'importe qui n'importe quand...
C'est un sujet traité avec adresse, très réaliste, surtout que la santé mentale est souvent couverte de préjugés.
Dans ce film, on entrouve la porte vers une vie meilleure.
Ce film est une merveilleuse leçon de coeur et d'esprit, soulignant les faiblesses d'un grand esprit lorsque le coeur est apauvri, et son élévation vers la sagesse quand l'amour le nourrit.
Bravo...
