A Beautiful Mind

From the heights of notoriety to the depths of depravity, John Forbes Nash Jr. experiences it all. As a brilliant but socially awkward mathematician, he made a groundbreaking discovery early in his career and stands on the brink of international acclaim. But as the handsome and arrogant Nash accepts secret work in cryptography, he becomes entangled in a mysterious conspiracy. His life takes a nightmarish turn and he soon finds himself on a painful and harrowing journey of self-discovery.
I love watching films with a twist the second time as seeing it knowing the secret is a completely different experience. This film is still gripping even though I know what will happen. John Nash's character has so much depth and Crowe's performance is delightful. He gives the character a vulnerability even when he's a danger to others which is a thought-provoking representation of schizophrenia. As gorgeous as Jennifer Connelly is, I don't think her performance was outstanding in terms of other supporting roles I've seen from others in other films unfortunately.
