Great movie! Gotta see it again!


At least to see where Nash's delusions are in relation to real people. I had no idea until the shrink came to take him away.

The movie isn't an accurate depiction of John's mental health problems. It touches on them well enough to create a compelling story but even John Nash himself said that it really wasn't him that he'd seen in the film.

Yeah, I caught this film by accident. It was on cable one night and I tuned in. Never saw a trailer or knew anything about Nash and that's the best way to see this movie I think. Going in blind makes it even better...

when you do this, you really can't tell if he's nuts or not.

I actually thought Dr Rosen was in fact a Russian spy. haha...

However, upon further investigation, it's not a very accurate depiction of Nash's mental problems. Apparently, he didn't see people but even with this part of the movie being inaccurate I still liked it a lot.
