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.

Holy crap is this a great film. First off, Russell Crowe is just phenomenal. This movie wouldn't work if we didn't believe his character, given that a lot of the things we see take place in his head. There are also so many points of suspense -- the soviets capturing him and the baby in the bath tub were my two favorites. Also I love how Howard temporarily switches the movie from Crowe's point of view to Connelly's as we get to see how she is affected by his illness and how she is at first in denial just like him. With all the twists and turns, it was great that the ending didn't try to do too much and allowed us to see John Nash grow old.
