The film is all about the genius John Nash, true story of the professor who won Nobel Prize for his contribution in mathematics and economics. It started with 1940s background where depicted John Nash played by Russel Crowe pursuing his study at Princeton University struggling to come out with the theory paper, which eventually he did succeed to qualify for doctorate. The way the character is build up in this film, portray himself as a genius, nerdy and psychopath. There is line in the movie that describe himself as born with two brains but half heart. To me, the way he derived the formulas by writing on the mirror was wonderful scenes in this film. Apart from the colleagues, he befriended with imaginary friends which were his prodigy roommate during campus time, secret agent upon he clinched doctorate and a girl. The plot gets thickens as he ''get involved" in government top secret, code breaking activities and Russian things via his imaginary secret agent. The delusions happened up to the stage of he cutting the newspapers pieces and search for code combination in newspaper in attempt to decoding codes. His wife which was his former student at MIT eventually found out his dark secret, together with his colleagues. They seek for specialist check and he was diagnosed with paranoid schizophrenia and delusions. It was indeed dramatics when his wife try to convinced him the real of existence, putting her hand on his heart and his hand on her face and said 'this is real'. Her wife also convinced him that all of his imaginary friends never gets old as his age grows, a girl remaining a girl and his prodigy roommate still remained in his 20s. Eventhough subscribed to the medication but the delusions still happening. He managed to have control over his mental state and returned as a lecturer to his alma mater Princeton University. He finally said bye bye to all of his imaginary friends comes on his way everyday and then. It was made to understand in real that he still assumed as professor in the university before he died of car accident at age 86 in 2015.
From the eyes to the brain cells
How was the narrated movie inspire me at first place? It happens due to my hobby as a collector of great words and inspiration phrases. Such words were in this movie and one of the phrase I have kept as a guideline in works with regards to the teamwork. The lines was uttered in the movie when the struggled John Nash finally successfully triggered his brain cells to worked out his paper.
The second inspiration was the true loyalty of his wife (in the film) to stand by her husband eventhough he had serious mental illness problems. That is great virtues of great wife. In real life, I have experience met a man with the schizophrenic problems during campus time, he can be easily seen as talking and reacting by himself to nobody but I was not sure his true level of genius neither where he is now. Importantly I learnt, that we should not be avoided to know with this special people which surely great experience will come upon us.
