    They told me to watch this movie when I went through my schizophrenia struggle. Been schizophrenic since I was a teenager. Took a lot of different medications to finally get to the right one that worked for me, to calm down my paranoid symptoms, but I still find myself talking to these other people that don't exist til this day various times. I just am aware now that they are not real. This movie really helped me a lot.

      After everything *she's been through. The film glosses over all the bad things in his life and there were a lot, like being abusive to his wife (he thought of her as his slave and they were divorced for almost 40yrs before remarrying), abandoning his first "interior" family and his anti-semitic views. It's controversial for being very inaccurate about his actual life. It cherry picked things and made them extraordinary for dramatic effect and left out anything negative. It's praised for being a good representation of schizophrenia (except the major point that he didn't have visual hallucinations at all). Much like all biographies it turns these people into saints. Already remember you're watching a film, and this was one made to win awards. Not everyone is as wholesome as they appear...

    32:36 I wear headphones most days because my hallucinations tend to be auditory. They help with realizing what is actually heard vs the hallucinations, and I tend to multitask to drown out anything that isn’t real when they get real bad. I can’t imagine what going through life without a way to ground yourself would be like, but there are so many who don’t get help and suffer for it. On the flip side, there are so many people who don’t suffer and instead live with this and try to live “normal” lives. It’s crazy how far medicine and therapy has come to help people with these disorders

    • @IDiggPattyMayonnaise

    To answer one of your many good questions, Insulin Shock Therapy was a real treatment for schizophrenia, invented in the 1920s and used until the 1960s. It caused seizures and, for reasons not fully understood, was of some benefit for people suffering from psychosis.
    Since then, electroconvulsive therapy (ECT) has replaced it and is vastly more effective and less traumatic.

    Finally with December coming up in 2 weeks you think the girls can react to the following Christmas movies: _Home Alone 1-2, Elf, Gremlins,_ and _It’s A Wonderful Life?_ 🎄🎄

    If you like Pual Bettney you should totally watch A Knights Tale, he plays Chaucer (the auther of the Canterbury Tales) The movie is amazing and he is one of the bests parts of it. If you've read the Canterbury tales, A Knights Tale, according to the makers of it, was an idea of making a fictional account of how Chaucer MIGHT have come up with the idea of them.

    @dextercool Před 5 měsíci +2

    This movie really gives an amazing insight into a certain type of mental illness - from my extremely limited non-professional experience of people who have had schizophrenic breaks from reality, there really is no talking them out of it, or convincing them out of their alternative reality - in fact, their ungroundedness and volatility is practically dizzying in its effects on those around them, on those trying gamely to help them; one can almost feel oneself getting pulled into the whirlpool of the mental turmoil and warped thinking the more one tries (as a lay person) to talk them out of their imaginings and baseless suspicions. Everything rational you tell them is taken to be some kind of motivated deception and is dismissed. Moreover, they are disappointed in you,almost feel betrayed, that you are lying to them despite the fact that you spelling out actual reality to them. You begin to realise why a professional is needed (obviously). There can be glimmers of lucidity (which give momentary hope) but they are fleeting. It's like a drowning person gets their head above water for a second - they even see for a moment that what they are saying and thinking couldn't possible make sense given a modicum of serious consideration. Sadly, when in the throes of schizophrenia, at its height, the person is quite far from amenable to rational intervention/explanation. All I'm saying is that, even if we harbour the notion "he doesn't know how to ground himself", while totally understandable, we may soon realise that, in the face of the nature of untreated schizophrenia, 'getting grounded' is really way beyond the reach of the person themselves (or anyone else) in the full bloom of hallucinations and paranoia. What makes the condition truly tragic is that it often besets those who have exquisitely sensitive minds and unusual intelligence. Because this movie makes you buy in utterly into the paranoiac conspiracy and phantom friends, you get a first-person empathetic view of what it's like to be in that state, how "he's bought into it so immediately...he's just like accepting it" - so did we. Even with evidence to the contrary, the delusions can come back strongly as a result of plausible deniability and the sense that everyone we know is lying to us, tricking us and hiding the truth from us; that we know much better than them because we've seen it with our own eyes it seems. It's just a few more steps to 'cloaking serums' and secret decoding stations in one's garden shed. That's the genius of this movie in depicting that to help us understand how it is even possible.

    Amazing that you recognized Bryce Dallas Howard from such a brief cameo.Enjoyed your reaction too.
    And yes it is one of those great movies that seems to have undeservedly fallen off the radar in more modern times. But there are so many others that you young moderns are missing out on. So if you are interested in seeing another hidden gem, from that time period consider CINDERELLA MAN. It is another collaboration between Russell Crowe and Ron Howard with Rene Zellweger as the love interest and Thomas Newman provides this time the beuatiful score that rivals the exquisite James Horner score created for this movie. Putting it bluntly, if you liked ROCKY this is story of a real Rocky who fought during the Great Depression and captured the imagination of the entire country for a while.
    This would be a good one for all four of you to watch together. I guarantee you'll love it. And you will also be left scratching your heads when done as to why no one has heard of this movie too.

    I recently watched "The Man Who Knew Infinity" which is a very similar movie. It has the same issues that this one has. You never really know where the plot is going because it's fairly adheres to the true story. I think that's why it's hard to recommend to people.
    It's still reliably the type of movie that makes me tear up though. Loss, evil, heroism, beauty nothing much moves me but when you depict the truth that is in the human spirit I'm all tears. The pen scene here or "please lord help me get one more" or "this pen, two more people", those scenes will just kill me reliably. I also think those moments are easier to find in real stories but they do happen in fiction. War & Peace, Anna Karenina or The Lord of the Rings all can do the same thing.
    PS. I actually still remembered the year he died. I remember it was covered in the news to some extent in 2015.

    I knew a guy years ago that I was helping out with a place to stay. I didn't discover until he'd moved in with us that he was schizophrenic, and then also learned that he'd gone off his meds. It was... Not a good time. He struggled with reality in a way that I think most people just can't comprehend until they see it for themselves. Even once he was back on his medication, he still struggled. And despite expressing an implicit trust in me as his friend, he still had difficulty accepting it when I'd tell him something he had witnesses or believed wasn't actually real.
    I moved away not long after. He'd become too erratic and I had small children. I couldn't allow him around them. I don't know what happened to him. Like so many with mental illness, he just kind of fell through the cracks and disappeared. A friend told me he saw him years later, and there was just nothing there. A vacant, unrecognizing stare. Still, I hope he has since found treatment and some measure of peace.

    Its a heavily metaphorical movie, not representational or exact with the facts, Crowe wanted this role because of the genius twists that drags us in to Nash's world until bang, the truth comes crashing in about his condition. When Brian Grazer, Hollywood producer wanted to move and make this film many screenwriters offered to write it. Akiva Goldsman as a kid lived with his parents who took care of kids with mental disorders and he himself was abused (its in the public domain) so he knew he could write it but he was a virtually unknown writer. Grazer asked him to go away and then come back and pitch him the movie. Goldsman came back, pitched what we see....Grazer cried it was so beautiful. Goldsman says the real hero is his wife Alicia who 'found' him and stuck by him. Sadly in old age they left this world together but their schizophrenic son said they had a great life and left together.

I loved the way you interacted with each other and the movie. At about 36:54 in the movie one of you made the remark "He just has bullies in his ears." That was a brilliant synopsis of the entire movie. Thank you this was really good.

    Nash was actually bisexual, but this is a rare case where "straightwashing" was to the movie's benefit, as it mostly resulted in him cheating on Alicia numerous times with both men and women, which would have just fed into harmful stereotypes about the orientation. He also never took any medications again after quitting, but that line at the end "I take the newer medications" was put in to avoid the message that people shouldn't take them.

    Thanks for doing these early-Noughties ones. I was a teenager when this came out - like John, lacking some emotional maturity - so I missed a lot of the subtext at the time. Nash is best known for his work in Game Theory, and especially for the "Nash Equilibrium" - which I don't fully understand, but apparently neither does the movie (the example with the blonde is supposedly not a good one). FWIW, my understanding is that a Nash Equilibrium is when all players are restricted to playing the same moves over and over again, or everybody loses (nuclear war, for instance). Someone with an actual mathematics degree can fill in the rest.
    Edit: Re the ageing process for this movie, I can see two things straight away. One, that this rode a little bit on the "this main character is imaginary" plot twist, and that it was part of a wave of "Byronic heroes" (read: arseholes), like House MD. And secondly, that this was made when we still thought the people running the economy knew what they were doing. The little bit about the Nash Equilibrium being a critical part of modern economics is darkly hilarious given it came out the same year as the Enron scandal, which was sort of like the Hobbit to the 2008 Financial Crisis's LotR.

At one point When einsteine was at princeton university, John nash presented his own mathematical explanation of Theory of relativity to him but einsteine dissmissed him by saying that he still has lot of work to do on his math. I studied John Nash's theorem in 12 th std (Second year junior highschool in India) it was so simple yet so usefull. I was so intrigued by him ,So i read about him and found this movie. I loved this movie so much. But he himself told that his condition of mental health was exaggerated in this movie.

    Schizophrenia is better understood with better medication now. Part of the movie message along with Nash himself, is that people who struggle with mental health in our society can still possess great talent and gifts that enrich our lives. Some souls choose more challenging lives than others. Being blind or deaf is one thing, but both like Helen Keller, is incredible, as close a life of darkness as possible. Yet she survived somehow. Loving the uniqueness of each person can be a learning experience on earth.

    Jennifer Connelly was almost only employed as a sex-symbol in the nineties. In cool movies to watch like The Rockeeter 1991 or Dark City 1998, she clearly looks like sex-symbols of the fourties/fifties.
    She had to wait, the years 2000, to have roles with more depth.
    Requiem for a Dream 2000, A Beautiful Mind 2001, House of Sand and Fog 2003
    A Beautiful Mind has a great cast, that helps to pass the rush to sum up decades.
    The Insider 1999 is another biopic, where Russel Crowe is facing Al Pacino, by Michael Mann (director of Heat 1995 ).
    There is no rush. That is an episode of the life of protagonist. But that is a drama.
    If you want some fun from Ron Howard, I suggest Cocoon 1985. That is a comedy-drama.

    This is a great movie, but Ron Howard took significant liberties with the story. The real John Nash has said in interviews that he didn't like the movie because of the inaccuracies. He agreed to it because he needed the money. The book of the same name by Sylvia Nasar is much better than the movie. One of the most glaring inaccuracies is that Alicia did not stay with John through his difficult years. She left him, but stayed in touch sporadically over the decades and didn't get back with him until he won the Nobel Prize. Also, the delusional manifestations of Charles Herman, William Parcher, etc. are entirely the creation of Ron Howard. Nash's delusions were never that consistent.
    Some aspects of Nash's life were glossed over for the movie, as well. For example, he fathered a child out of wedlock before he married Alicia. He was arrested for indecent exposure and was suspected of being a homosexual, which caused him to lose his security clearance and be fired from the Rand Corporation. He was also physically abusive to Alicia and told people that he wanted to dominate her and make her his slave. She divorced him in 1963.
    He didn't give any speech at the Nobel ceremony in real life.
