Thoughts on A Beautiful Mind DVD?

[OREOSpeedwagon]

I have to say this is probably the best DVD I've ever bought/rented. Of course it's one of my favorite movies so that probably helps BTW, did anyone else find the screenwriter's commentary a lot more interesting than Ron Howards?

lovely movie. a definite keeper

 

[HamSupLo]

Jennifer Connelly is amazing

 

[IGBT]

Great story..got the dvd at costco. Costco also has the pbs doc.about John Nash called "brilliant madness" . Haven't watched it yet..

 

[Dark4ng3l]

Best movie ever, it's better love story than pearl harbor or titanic because it's more realistic, makes more sense ans(in pearl harbors case) is not a crazy atempt a showing some sort of twisted patriotism. Anyways the movie is great.... his speech always makes me cry when I watch it

I bought the DVD a week ago, and found the film to be very entertaining. i can see myself watching it again down the road. Great performances from Crowe and Connelly.

Along with the films merits, The DVD video transfer is very good also.

like the baby in the tub of water? cg pigeons in the park were also cg hehe

Watched it last night, great movie.


My wife was saying that when it came out there was a little hubbub over the fact that they protrayed John Nash as a more likeable person than he was in real life.

<---bawling her eyes out just thinking about it


I completely relate to Alicia Nash. She is of Latin descent, you know.

 

[Linux23]

that movie was wearing thin with all of the dillisional characters, IMHO.

***SPOILER ALERT!!!!**












I just watched it last night. A couple of questions...did he really solve the code for the government when he was in the Pentagon or was that the beginning of the schiz...um, psycoll...um, hallucinn...um, was that when the weird stuff started happening?


And Isla
<<I completely relate to Alicia Nash.>>

You do realize many movies aren't exactly how the events were in real life right?

That's BS! Didn't you see JFK?

I thought is was anti climatic and just fizzled at the end. I taped the dvd and already taped over it. the special effects with the baby seemed illogical. a lot of work when they could have used green screen arms holding the baby the whole time,just like they did in the close up. I guess once you get the initial matte then the rest is just adjustments. I didn't notice any of the effects,like pigeons and leaves on the tree, when watching the movie, which is that point I guess...It was funny in the making of video when the real nash was explaining his latest work to ron howard, which you could tell had no clue what nash was talking about.

Really... do you know the real john nash? cause i've seen him here on more the a few occasions, and i know ppl who knew him. Besides the was he bi. debate, i think it's quite on target. sure, they made him a little more presentable for the bigscreen, and had to compress his story to 2 hours or so, but still to this day he walks around campus with the umbrella and that bag, lookin much like russel crowe did at the end. i thought it was a very well done movie and i know for a fact the ron howard did a great deal of research here on campus and all the shots of princeton were also done here. there were some artistic liberties taken of course, like the little pen giving thing which an advisor said wouldn't have taken place but ron liked the idea so he used it. that and the fact that nobel prize winners don't give speeches. but all in all i thought it was quite good.

That was a great movie. Well worth the 7 dollars I spent on the ticket to go see it.

I think it's very good. It isn't Gladiator good, but it's very good.
