A Beautiful Mind《美丽心灵》2001
John Nash is a mathematics prodigy who has a decided knack at solving previously unsolvable problems. A mathematical genius, he made an astonishing discovery early in his career and stood on the brink of international acclaim. But John, like most who have had movies made about them, had his ups and downs. He suffers from tremendous delusions and is diagnosed with schizophrenia. A painful and harrowing journey of self-discovery. After many years of struggle, he eventually triumphed over his tragedy, and finally—late in life—received the Nobel Prize. Director Ron Howard has experience in playing with his audience’s heartstrings. And plucking heartstrings is not a bad thing at all, not when you can do it in such a sincere, noncloying way as the masterful Beautiful Mind presents to its viewers.
约翰·纳什是一个数学天才，在解决以前无解的问题方面天赋异禀。作为数学天才，他在职业生涯早期就有了惊人发现，即将享誉全球。但是，像大多数传记电影的主人公一样，约翰也经历了人生的起起落落。他患有严重的妄想症，被诊断患有精神分裂症。这是一段艰难痛苦的找寻自我之旅。经过多年的努力，约翰终于走出了人生的悲剧，晚年终获诺贝尔奖。导演朗·霍华德擅长撩拨观众的心弦。如果能像《美丽心灵》这部佳作那样真诚而不矫情地呈现在观众面前，那么撩拨人们的心弦根本不是什么坏事。
