    • Quotes

      Dr. Rosen: Imagine if you suddenly learned that the people, the places, the moments most important to you were not gone, not dead, but worse, had never been. What kind of hell would that be?

    • Crazy credits
      The initial theatrical release (as well as the Canadian VHS equivalent) has the E.T. The Extra-Terrestrial (1982) 20th Anniversary variation of the Universal Pictures logo. Subsequent prints, starting from the home media releases, replaced the variant with the Universal Studios Home Video logo.

    9/10
    Le génie frise la folie / genius is close kin to madness
    A poorly tailored trailer does not begin to describe what is one man's journey from the heaven of clear thought to the hell of schizophrenia.

    Russell Crowe does an excellent role as John Nash, a mathematician who revolutionizes Group Theory, only to have his mind crash into confused and split views of the world.

    Jennifer Connelly is superb as his wife. It is through her that we begin to understand the range of problems and pittfalls Nash is facing, most of his own devising. She deserves an Oscar, period.

    The director has arranged beautiful 'red herrings' to kept viewers guessing and it works suprisingly well. Ron Howard's best work to date.

    A beautiful movie to decribe a beautiful mind.
