A film based on a mathematician, a real story, is bound to be boring and yawn-inducing. Isn't it?
This film, based on
Genius Mathematician and Nobel Prize Winner John Nash's life is actually made
from a biography based on him.
The film, instead
of being boring, is one of the most inspiration films and is full of
intelligent wit and humor.
The story is about
a genius mathematician who's always searching for something original and
doesn't buy doing old theorems. He passes Princeton with a brilliant theorem
which has many applications and gets appointed at Wheeler's. However, there
things take a different turn. He gets appointed by the Big Brother of US
Military for Classified Operations. Meanwhile, he falls in love and gets married
to one of his students, Alicia.
The performances
are spot-on. Nash (Russel Crowe) is different, and it looks here. He fits into
the role of a genius mathematician who is a little different from others.
He also has ailments and there, the performance takes an even more believable
turn. Alicia (Jennifer Conelly) is charming and lovable. And she does her part
of being in love with a mad genius quite amazingly. Charles (Paul Bettany) as
his friend is infectious in his attitude. Parcher (Ed Harris) is one of the
stand-outs. He makes his character simply stand out.
Above all, I’d put the film's main heroes as
cinematographer, editor and direction. Direction and Editing carry the suspense
element throughout the film, and cinematography is realistic and brilliant.
