Beautiful Mind

This movie was very interesting. The movie tends to look at the best of both worlds. John Nash has a interesting theory which is stated across the whole movie which states that class is a waste of time. John Nash, a  mathematician,goes to Princeton and in his stay there he develops habits, and relationships. Developing these, tends to be a reality to his and to the audience but it is at the middle that we learn that it is his imagination which is making these things realities. John imaginations were extreme a it developed around his mathematics. His work for some reason was always done on windows and expressed in them. His constant obsession to his work lead him to many mistakes. Soon after realizing his imagination was playing him tricks most likely called as schizophrenia, he goes under many treatments. Sooner than later he stops taking medication but this marks the crucial part of the movie when him knowing his problem proposes to himself to not give in and forms this a habit. This is a habit of ignoring his illusions even though he knew they were still there. His madness of wanting to move on and do something in life to make his son and wife proud gave him the courage to continue and be someone; something he seemed as far, but becomes a reality Accepting his problem was the best solution, and shows us that when one realizes one's habits or sickness it is the first steps towards a cure.
