It's just like the weak to try to tear someone down rather than try to pull themselves up.
shareYou must admit he was walking rather funny...
If a film doesn't excel in three areas (dialog, acting, etc) I will NOT rate it above a 7.

Yeah,,and I know the feeling.
Perhaps the director did also,,,which may be why that Nash, after spotting the punk at his 6'oclock, appears to then focus on the background and verify the existence of the group of cajoling students which convinced him to live and fight another day.
I think it would have been cool if, in a subsequent scene timed to occur as part of Nash's redemption , Nash catches the jerk when the two are alone and brings it down hard on the punk.

I was horrified but sadly not surprised by those punks at the college. People can be real asshats sometimes.
I wish he had socked one on them too.
"I'd say this cloud is Cumulo Nimbus."
"Didn't he discover America?"
"Penfold, shush."

shareIf you are eccentric or in any way different it is something you unfortunately get used to as you have been dealing with it your whole life.
I have met John Nash, when I was an alumni guest at the Warwick economics summit. John Nash wowed the audience. The guy is very real and engaging, a little eccentric maybe, but then so am I, that scene in the movie where he argues with his hallucinations. I am that soldier:) The students of my current University once called security in on me, when I was ranting into my cellphone. The damned exchange was down and it left me to talk to non existent voices in one of those infernal menu systems you cannot get out of. As I told the campus cops, "if you were stuck in the same system, you would be yelling too"
You see not everything is as it seems.

What surprised me was those punks were smart enough to get into Princeton. Aren't they very VERY selective in who they accept? Don't you have to be like, a genius yourself to get in? Wouldn't those students have read enough stories about eccentric people in their long college lecture classes to understand what Nash was going through? That scene was very unrealistic. Only pot heads and lower class people make fun of the disabled.

No, snotty rich kids who were looking to avoid the draft went to Princeton then too.
Get me a bromide! And put some gin in it!
If only. SOBs unfortunately can end up being quite successful. In fact, in business being an SOB can be quite an asset in getting ahead. Of course I'm only talking about financial success, not the type that really matters in life.
