 A Beautiful Mind
A Beautiful Mind, Ron Howard's film based on a biography of mathematician John Nash, is carried by a tour de force performance by Russell Crowe.
And, too, as is almost inevitable in a film of this type, A Beautiful Mind tips into sentimentality rather than sustaining a dryness that would have commanded more respect, and, one imagines, would have been more in keeping with John Nash's outlook.
The film chronicles Nash's arrival at Princeton where mathematics students were indoctrinated in the importance of their work for national defense; it's the post-World War II years when the cold war with the Soviets was heating up and competition for scientific superiority was an American preoccupation.

 SPLICEDwire "A Beautiful Mind" review (2001) Ron Howard, Russell Crowe, Ed Harris, Jennifer Connelly
Yet Ron Howard's "A Beautiful Mind" is the fifth film in as many years focused on an off-kilter arithmetic genius -- and each one of them has been mesmerizing in its own way.
But what it lacks in ingenuity, "A Beautiful Mind" makes up for in superb performances, potent emotions and graceful, emblematic (if safe and conventional) filmmaking.
A confident, brainy beauty taking his class, she is attracted to him because he's the polar opposite of the average man. They turn each other on intellectually, and Crowe and Connelly have an affecting chemistry together, which is the one touchstone in Nash's life when his mind begins to unravel.

A Beautiful Mind's view of schizophrenia subscribes unhesitatingly to the Stephen Hawking idea of disability: it is all right as long as it betokens some great mental or spiritual superiority.
As portrayed by Russell Crowe, Nash may be a hollow-eyed, unshaven, gibbering, briefcase-hugging, equation-chalking nutter, but by golly he's a red-blooded heterosexual nutter, with a beautiful wife played by Jennifer Connelly.
It is also a gruesome example of the lie-opic, or lie-ography, in that it coyly excises the gay episodes in the real Nash's life - in particular his arrest for importuning in a public lavatory.

 CNN.com - 'A Beautiful Mind' dominates Golden Globes - January 21, 2002
BEVERLY HILLS, California (CNN) -- It was a beautiful night at the Golden Globe Awards for "A Beautiful Mind," as the film won best drama, best actor, best supporting actress and best screenplay at the 59th annual edition of the laid-back Hollywood lovefest.
She called "Mind" "a beautiful love story" and said that while she regretted that "certain things were omitted for creative reasons" from New York Times reporter Sylvia Nasar's book of the same name, "the Nashes are happy with it," and that satisfied her.
Connelly, who seemed genuinely surprised to be holding the supporting actress trophy in her hand for her work in "A Beautiful Mind," professed that "I am not used to this at all." Indeed, she'd only starred in smaller, artier pics like "Pollock" and "Requiem for a Dream."

 A Beautiful Mind: Cinephiles Movie Review
A Beautiful Mind successfully lures the viewer into the mind of a character who is portrayed as defining everything in his world in mathematical terms; it does so by offering visual representations that suggest his mental patterns.
Nevertheless, A Beautiful Mind successfully envelopes the viewer in the character's almost imperceptible delusions as it subtly integrates the character's schizophrenic state to plot narration.
Yet the film's most intriguing attempt may be enjoyed in a scene where Nash astonishingly manages to grasp a momentary lapse of reason within his profound madness and finds a logical means by which to overcome his mental disease and prove his extraordinary intelligence.

 Filmspiegel - Kritik - Beautiful Mind, A
Wie jedoch andererseits die formalen Mittel des Kinos genutzt werden, um das wenig erschöpfte Thema von Schizophrenie und Paranoia für den Mainstream aufzubereiten, das lässt aus "A Beautiful Mind" trotz aller Konvention und sentimentaler Tendenz noch einen guten Film werden.
Appelliert wird dabei weniger an Verstand als an Gefühl, vor allem an das der Oscarjuroren - mit Erfolg, "A Beautiful Mind" ist gleich mit acht Nominierungen überschüttet worden.
So wirkt die Biographie über den heute noch lebenden, 73-jährigen Mathematiker John Nash, der jahrzehntelang gegen schizophrene Paranoia kämpfte, als berechnendes Oscarvehikel: Regisseur Ron Howard ist nach dem letztjährigen Weihnachtsschlager "The Grinch" gerade in den USA außerordentlich populär, Russell Crowe seit seinem Triumph mit "Gladiator" gleich auf die zweite Trophäe in Folge scharf.

I don't mind seeing a film stating that women are perpetual victims of the unsalvageable male psyche, but it is a little irritating to see a movie insinuating that beautiful woman actually suffer more because of their looks.
Considering that "Beautiful Creatures" was written and directed by men, it's hard to tell whether this film is really a proto-feminist statement, or a Russ Meyer style ploy to hang out with cute girls.
