This film is based on the true-life story of Nobel Prize winner John Forbes Nash Jr, now in his seventies and his life as a brilliant man living with a mental illness. The story begins with Nash, played by Russell Crowe, as a Princeton graduate student. He is a genius, determined to discover an original idea, which he eventually does, known as the Game Theory, in economics.

The film lives through Nash's life, from his experiences in the classroom to experiences with his eccentric roommate. We see how he meets his beautiful wife and his battle with schizophrenia, which eventually leads to his wife leaving him.

The film is a wonderful depiction of a genius at work, from his discovery of the Nobel Prize winning theory to how he used rule of mathematics to talk to women. Director Ron Howard uses the camera to create feelings and emotions running through Nash's complicated mind and does a great examination of Nash's character, presenting it to the audiences in an awe-inspiring manner.

We rate this film as good.
