Imagine not being able to distinguish between reality and your own imagination. "A Beautiful Mind" will take you through the life story of John Forbes Nash Jr., a 1994 Nobel Prize Winner. This heartwarming movie will keep you interested and bound by all the hardship that was faced by everyone.
This movie also shows how powerful love can be. Most couples these days give up on their significant other regarding health, money and even becoming frustrated with each other. However, this movie will show that through sickness and health and for richer and poorer, words can be powerful and realistic.
So, is "A Beautiful Mind" worth the price of admission? Yes, it is a compelling true story that might even make you shed a tear at the end. Would I see it again? I don't know if this is a film you can watch over and over again, but it's definitely worth watching once.

During the first part of this movie I was flat-out bored. I had heard the Oscar buzz but saw nothing to back it up. The beginning was slow, a lot of the dialogue seemed mumbled, and I really thought this flick was going to be a dud. However, by the end I had changed my tune."A Beautiful Mind" turned out to be a very high-quality and entertaining flick.
The story picked up speed and became very interesting and, at times, very intense. Russell Crowe stopped mumbling and reaffirmed how good of an actor he is, although I still liked him in "Gladiator" more. He will definitely get a best-actor nomination and he may just win it too. Jennifer Connelly also did a great job and she didn't look bad either. Move over Ashley Judd, I may have a new Hollywood love interest.
Is "A Beautiful Mind" worth the money? Yes it is, but be patient. Would I see it again? I could, but I probably won't.
