Biography is my favorite movie type. Based on reality, it is also dramatic. Due to the limitation of the characters themselves, how to make a reasonable imagination on the basis of reality has become an important issue, which is also an important criterion for evaluating the quality of a biopic. A good biographical film, with its vivid details, can reproduce a real historical figure on the screen.
A Beautiful Mind is such an excellent biopic, which successfully reproduces the legendary life of the great man johnf nash, and more importantly, reflects the unknown world and great love of top scientists. This film is not only a wonderful biography of Nash, but also a tribute to love-love is all logic and reason. So in 2002, he won the 74th Academy Award for Best Film, which really deserved it.
First of all, the film has many articles on the title of "Beautiful Mind". "mind" has both the meaning of brain and the meaning of mind in English. In this film, it has a double meaning, on the one hand, it refers to johnf nash's clever brain, on the other hand, it refers to his beautiful mind. The combination of the two is the perfect combination of rationality and sensibility. Because of his strong love for his wife, he can make up his mind to break his illusion, and because he maintains a high degree of rationality, he can realize that the people in the illusion are not real.
Since it is a beautiful soul, the whole film is of course a warm tone, which is very suitable for expressing a warm theme and giving people a sense of comfort intoxicated in the story. It is said that in order to create a "golden yellow" effect in the campus scene at the beginning of the film, the film crew also used low-contrast film.
It is also unique in line design. In order to show Nash's frankness, when the man confessed to Alicia, he said, "I think you are very attractive. Your initiative to me shows that you also like me." Nevertheless, traditional trust requires us to have several platonic relationships before making love. I am developing in this field, but what I really want to do is OOXX with you as soon as possible. "After that, Alicia kissed Nash, which was in stark contrast to Nash's previous slap in the face because of this sentence in college, representing that Nash finally found the true love of his life.
There are many touching places in the play. When Alicia cried and told Nash that all this was just his illusion, there was nothing, no resistance, and no William. Nash's world collapsed instantly, and he walked away in disbelief.
Nash wants to prove that all this is true. He cut his wrist with his nails, but he couldn't find the chip. He looked at the doctor who arrived at a loss and said, "It disappeared."
On that stormy night, when Nash's wife saw that Nash, who was troubled by hallucinations, rejected herself and finally burst into tears, I believe the audience who had seen the movie were moved. He even lost the ability to love because of mental illness.
The most touching thing is that when he was most frustrated in college, he dreamed that a group of professors gave their pens to another professor, which was the highest recognition a person could get. When he was sitting in the cafe, everyone around him stood up and put their pens in front of him one by one. Nash finally burst into tears.
Love, as the main thread of the story, runs through the whole film. Although the first part of the story is very dull, it takes a sharp turn in the second half, reaching its climax at the moment when schizophrenia is diagnosed, and then returning to warmth. It can be said that there are waves of unrest.
In Nash's illusion in the movie, there are three fictional characters: Charles, William and Marcy. They are not fantasies that appear out of thin air. In fact, there are traces in Nash's growing experience.
Social psychologist Shu Ci put forward the three-dimensional theory of interpersonal needs in 1958. He believes that every individual has three basic needs in the process of interpersonal communication, namely, inclusive needs, dominant needs and emotional needs. These three basic needs must be met at the same time, any one of which will cause individual psychological trauma, and this unmet need may be found in the virtual.
The same is true of movies. In the illusion, Charles was imagined as Nash's roommate, who always understood Nash and accompanied him when he was frustrated. William, an official of the Ministry of National Defense, was asked to complete the task and make contributions to the country. Marcy is Charles' niece, a lovely little girl. All three actually reflect Nash's emotional needs. Because Nash lacks interpersonal communication for a long time, and because of his arrogance, he is often misunderstood or even ridiculed by others. Therefore, Charles represents this desire to be understood, tolerated and unconditionally supported; William is called "big brother" by Nash, which means Nash is eager for urgent affirmation, hoping that he can achieve great success in his career and gain a decisive position; And because Nash lost several relationships, he is actually a loveless person. Therefore, Marcy represents Nash's deep emotional needs and desires.
In fact, he never overcame his fantasy. He just chose to ignore them and accept their existence. This illusion has always accompanied Nash's life, and it also symbolizes that this is a deep loneliness from the depths of the soul. Therefore, in the plot, it is very reasonable to design completely according to Nash's experience and psychology, which increases the depth of the story and is more conducive to expressing the inner parts of the characters that are difficult to express.
No one knows which is better, truth or fantasy. But Nash knows that the person he loves really exists, and he really lives in reality. Therefore, he gave up living in fantasy and tried to accept himself and not let himself be moved by fantasy. In reality, he is also called "the first person to overcome schizophrenia with reason".
Outside the movie, it's not as beautiful as the story. 20 15 On May 23rd, 86-year-old Nash and his wife died in a car accident while taking a taxi in New Jersey on Saturday. Although the ending is cruel, I think this is the best destination, and the two will never be separated again.
