A Beautiful Mind (1 cent version)

[days_unfolding]

I promised to write about A Beautiful Mind a long time ago, and never did. Now I really should. I've put that (back) on my list of things to write about, along with my psychosis entries. However, this weekend dropped down the rabbit hole....I don't have time to write anything substantial now. Haven't had time to work on locking down my journal either. I need to carve out some time specifically for the journal.

Anyway, here's my 1 cent review of A Beautiful Mind: It's worth seeing. It captures the feeling of paranoid delusions quite well. However, it substitutes visual hallucinations (which are rare) for auditory hallucinations and delusions. It also isn't a terribly accurate representation of Nash's life, at least as described by the book A Beautiful Mind. (I read the book, promptly sold it, and now I want it back. Oops.) Anyway, go and caveat emptor.

I didn't see the movie, but I recently saw an interview with Nash where he talked about his life and the movie. It was very interesting, but he didn't look much like Russell Crowe ;)

As Maria von Trapp said, "Hollywood has to do a little Hollywooding...." I'll bet the interview was interesting.
