The Oscars never go to a "normal" movie lead. From "Rain Man," to "Forrest Gump," which beat "The Shawshank Redemption," to "The Shape of Water," which was released in China only this year, this is a fact.
In "A Beautiful Mind," released in 2002, the Nobel laureate is the hero's most glamorous label, but he is also a schizophrenic. This is not only a movie, but actually is more of a biography about John Forbes Nash Jr, a brilliant mathematician who battled schizophrenia with his wife by his side, and who was not only honored by academia, but also with the best of relationships and a beautiful mind.
The first moving moment in the movie was when John Nash was in college, and his eccentric behavior began to show his difference: he was obsessively searching for his own original "game theory," and he hadn't published a single article, and he hadn't even thought of a thesis title yet, and his mentor was pressing him hard. He was almost crushed by his mentor's pressure. ......
When he went crazy for the first time, it was his roommate who saved him; many of his strange or irrational behaviors and withdrawn personality have been tolerated by his roommate. His originally tightly wound emotions shattered with the box his roommate threw from the window. Putting himself in his shoes, perhaps it was an unintentional move by his roommate, but it dragged him away from the abyss of collapse. Although it's only in the end that he realizes the roommate has been a figment of John Nash's own imagination all along, the detail is really touching.
In addition, the most touching episode in this movie is actually his wife's companionship from the beginning to the end, and her undying love for him. John Nash's wife is the person who understands him the most, they are both possessed of a very high IQ, from mutual attraction to enter the marriage hall, they are so matched, so harmonious, it can be said that his wife is the most understanding of his romantic people, but also the only person who understands him.
After the marriage, his wife began to gradually find that it seems to begin to be wrong, fantasize out of college friends, little girls, and even spies, has been fully integrated into John's life, appeared to seem more and more frequent... The psychiatrists finally came to the door at this moment.
John, who seems to have a successful career and a happy family, began to receive psychiatric treatment, and he didn't even know that all these characters and things were his own fantasies, and his wife knew all this, and she had grief and resistance, but she chose to accept it. The wife forced herself to endure her own mourning, wanting to escape the mental dilemma on behalf of away from John, and was strong enough to give birth to his child.
Even after the treatment, John was not able to completely get rid of his schizophrenia, and even hurt his wife and child by mistake, but his wife never left him. John also began to find that all of it was just his own fantasy, not real.?
John chose to ignore the fantasies that accompanied him and influenced him, and even in the end he was not able to overcome the schizophrenia, but he survived with "them" in his body, and for the sake of the love of his life, John even overcame his most powerful enemy.
When he was finally able to stand on the podium again, his wife's hair has long been white, silent tears, when he won the Nobel Prize, his wife became his most important audience.
