The story is interesting, but I can't say I knew exactly what was going on half the time. Part of the reason for this is that I found it hard to approach the complexities of his work. The film moves at a really slow pace, especially before we realize what Nash is going through mentally. At 138 minutes, it's right about at the length of your usual bio-drama, but it doesn't feel like it. I think the main issue with A Beautiful Mind is its pace. She had impressed in previous films, but there's something about her balancing the sweetness of Alicia's personality with her turmoil filled personal life. Connelly, who won an Oscar for playing Alicia, is a revelation here. In fact, I think this film is a better romance than it is a biopic. He has great chemistry with his love interest, Alicia Nash, played by Jennifer Connelly. Crowe has to make it believable that he's both one of the brightest minds in the world but also someone who is seriously struggling with mental illness. Russell Crowe gives one of his best performances as John Nash, in what also may be his most challenging. This is a man was a student at Princeton and made significant contributions to the world of mathematics and economics (including proposing several theories and equations), all while being diagnosed as paranoid schizophrenic. Not only did I think all of the actors did a tremendous job sinking their teeth into each role, but I couldn't believe how fascinating John Nash's life was. The first time I watched A Beautiful Mind I was blown away by it.

Whether it be Rush, Apollo 13, Frost/Nixon, or A Beautiful Mind, he has a knack for representing real people well while also adding some movie magic in there as well. Ron Howard is always great at adapting true stories into well- structured biopics.
