A Beautiful Mind

i've watched it twice! i love it so much. yeah i wonder hows the experience like. communicating with someone who is not really there. i used to hang out with my granma. she has a fren who's a lil bit senile. she talks to herself. or even to her 'friend' and had a good eye contact too with 'him'. her conversations are real and as if there is someone talking back to her. she nods, she laughs. a lil bit scary at first but later i got used to it an just follow the flow. for example asking her friend to come along to have dinner with us or such thing. those days we use the word senile or maybe she's really schizophrenic when come to think about it!

I have watched it, although quite some time ago now. I never realized the twist until it was revealed in the film - although when the little girl was introduced, I did think "I thought she was older." One thing that did make it interesting was the fact that it's actually based on a true story.

Yes I saw the movie, no it didn't surprise me at all, my husband was schizophrenic, it actually romanticized it and did not show the true devastation of that illness on people and the people that love them. I also was a therapist for schizophrenics for a year at our mental hospital.

Yes, I was able to watch it some time ago. It was such a great movie and I like it very much most especially that you will be surprised when you will find out what really happened. In so far as people who are schizophrenic, I have not meet any yet. I guess it is really different to know what they are thinking or what are their thought. Best to you joyce!

I`ve known schizophrenics too....and Russel Crowe made a magnificent interpretation.....I love that movie.

It was a long time ago I saw the movie and it wasn't with the interview. My sister n law has this disorder , and I worked with some schizophrenics when I was doing my o & p and student teaching for college and then immediately afterward. It is amazing unfortunately when one does become successful. It is a great movie and a great story his wife was wonderful. if you haven't seen it this is a must see

[i]Hi joyce, I have seen the movie 3 times and I love it..I appreciate the love of the woman to her husband who stood with him until he fully recovered! In real life, I do know anyone who suffer such disease! I really admire the effort of all the people behind the scene![/i]

HI joyceshookery! I've seen the film many times, it's brilliant. What amazes me is that Nash's theorys have influenced many branches of IT and Mathematics. What I find even more amazing is that he didn't overcome his illness, he sublimated it with his will. The man was a genius plain and simple.

It is a great movie, really well done. I have seen it several times. Nash, the man, amazes me. I thought the director did a great job telling his story.

I haven't seen this movie but I'm pretty sure that it only touches the surface if it does that at all. Moviemakers are so commercialised its not funny. There are several hundred versions of this illness. And, as I told my brother, and a few others in my own time with it, no one will ever understand what it is like.

I have never seen this movie. I never knew that there was one out there about schizophrenia. My husband has that and he deals with it quite well now that he is off of all the medications that they were giving him. I will have to watch for this movie.

i watch this movie like 5 years ago, while i still in highschool.. and i really like it. great act, great story (and it is based on true story !!) just great.. this movie makes me think, smart is cool :D

Schizophrenia is really difficult disease and some arent as lucky as Nash in that he was able to restructure his life. But the film was very inspirational. I loved it too.

i haven't watched the movie yet, but after reading all these reviews here, i am eager to watch it......I'd like to see it for myself....:-)

Well I've seen it a long time ago...it was a great movie..still some of the moments are fresh with me..One of my all time favorites...

I do not know of anyone right off who has it. I have never seen this movie either. I will rent it through Netflix. Thanks for sharing with us.

It was a very good movie. I know plenty of Schizophrenics, but I have never known one to be that successful.

I haven't watched this movie... i actually do not know a person with schizophrenia... and that sort of condition is not really popular in my country... and i think some people are schizophrenic but are not diagnosed as such... because there are not enough institutions that can take care of them... I think i will watch this movie when i have the time... thanks for sharing...

I have seen a "A beautiful mind" and I thought it was a great movie. I had heard a lot about it, and I was not disappointed. It really surpriced me and that is one of the reasons why I liked it so much. I am not schizophrennic myself, but my fiance is, he also liked the film a lot and he recommended that I watch it. He liked the film, because he could recognize many of the things from his own life. I also think that the writer and producers did a good job when they made this film, and I would like to watch it again.

I watched the movie on its first day of showing in the movie houses (I'm a Kurt Russel fan) and though I know no one with such condition,it made me whisper a prayer for those who are experiencing it and for their love ones who are taking care of them. Yes, that's what "A Beautiful Mind" is, powerful and touching. It is one of the movie that became bigger than the big artists behind it. I hope more films like this will be made.
