Based on the true story of a genius mathematician, John Forbes Nash Jr., it is the story of a professor with a mind that did amazing things but that also turned against him with the delusions of schizophrenia. Nash, played amazingly by Russell Crowe and his wife Alicia, played by Jennifer Connelly, are given the diagnosis of paranoid schizophrenia while Alicia is pregnant with their first child. This is when the first signs appear and we see, in Crowe's performance, a deterioration and downhill path, which is believable and keeps us engaged and hoping that he does not descend completely into madness. Surprisingly, he is able to regain his ability to function with the new medications that became available. Directed by Ron Howard, this story is not only a moving, true love story but also a real look into mental illness and how it affects many lives. If I remember correctly Ron Howard, Russell Crowe, Jennifer Connelly won Oscars, as well as winning an Oscar for Best Picture. A story that is perfectly acted and that gives one a lot to think about. Intense but worthwhile and should not be missed.
