'A Beautiful Mind' begins with Nash (Russell Crowe) at Princeton, where he struggles to think of an original idea, and the stroke of genius that will make him matter. Nash is eccentric, socially awkward, and extremely competitive. Eventually, he finds the inspiration for his innovative and influential work on game theory. He's chosen for a post at MIT, which includes crucial code-breaking work for the US government. There, he meets a beautiful and brilliant student, Alicia (Jennifer Connelly). They marry but their happiness is threatened...
Director Ron Howard delivers one of his finest efforts with his extraordinary film, 'A Beautiful Mind'. Based loosely on Sylvia Nasar's acclaimed biography of mathematician John Forbes Nash, the film is a compelling look at one man's genius, his debilitating mental illness, and the fine line between the two. The film received a total of 8 Academy Award nominations and was a winner for Best Film and Best Director (Ron Howard).

I was put off watching this film for months after countless recommendations basically because the title didn't really appeal to me. Eventually I got round to watching it, I was glued to the screen for the whole 2 hours and 10 mins, it is easily one of the best films I've seen!
Outstanding!

This is, in my opinion, Ron Howard's best work. It charts the life of John Nash (a brilliant mathematician) from his years at Princeton, his schizophrenia and Nobel Prize until his death. There are superb performances from both Russell Crowe and Jennifer Connolly and the movie is thoroughly engrossing and fascinating. A must buy!
A beautiful mind a beautiful movie...
