    • 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.

    A Beautiful Mind
    An excellent movie, and all the actors performed their roles perfectly, especially Russell Crowe, who presented the character of John in a great way, the story of the film was excellent and I did not expect the subject of illusions, the second half of the film was significantly better than the first half, I enjoyed watching the film and I recommend watching it
