Parcher is a very scary character, though. When Martin said it when he and Nash were younger, I feel annoyed/disgusted. When Parcher said it, I think it signifies Nash's paranoia and insecurities. The irony is that Martin was a great friend to John Nash during this time.
This film was quite inspirational to anyone suffering mental illness,, to have the presence of mind and the mental strength to in effect self treat and self medicate has been a source of strength from time to time when the times get difficult.
For all those that have had mental disease, have and still struggle with them: never forget that, at the and, we can stop fighting, stop taking psichiatry pills, and don't confront them but learn how to live with them, deal with them, and show we are beautiful because our mid is complex but can deal almost anything. This film always bring tears to my eyes reminding me who I was and who I am. Never give up! For those who deeply understand these words, a big hug from Spain. We are beautiful minds.
i gotta understand what it's like to have that, is it THAT real that you cannot ignore it? do you hear things that don't happen? or see things that don't happen? i'm sorry if my questions are stupid it's just that i can't imagine if i had that so it's hard to understand what you feel.
In the case of Schizophrenia, yes, they can hear voices or even see persons that a re not real. It's not my case, but I closely knew one person that had to deal with it. He did not saw "artificial" persons but he heard voices. The point is that mental diseases are still "ashaming" for those whor suffer them, from uncontrolled panic attacks, passing to depression or the most serious ones. Anxiety is up to date, when catching a plane for a long flight, do the experiment of asking for loraepam or lormetazapam in their commercial name, and two thirds of the passengers will have one.
In my not so humble opinion, Martin is truly one of the best characters in this movie. Yes he is perceived as the bad guy in the beginning of the film, but even then I never thought that: In college years, Martin is very competitive and rough on John. As much as most don’t like it, graduate school (especially at the PhD level) is quite competitive. I never went to a highly prestigious university, but even our cohort was quite competitive. Martin wanted to “win”, just like John. However, he was that way with everyone, and actually helped push his colleagues to be better (per Aristotelian motivation, continue to push yourself to be better, and others will push themselves too). Without Martin referencing Adam Smith, John never comes up with his equilibrium. Moreover, even when Martin “loses” and John is selected to Wheeler, Martin concedes with absolute grace and humility. Even when Martin “wins” in the end, his goal is to help his friend. And that line always stuck with me, “We’ve always been friends”, which implies that despite their competition, there has always been respect between each other and a love for math. And even though Martin teased hard, he was also a gracious loser and a remarkably humble winner (to the point where he says there are no winners and losers). It also doesn’t hurt that Martin essentially saved John’s life and worked with Felicia to see John function in a community again.
It is most likely that Martin simply took pity on John and realized that the mental abuse he received from him might have been a part of what triggered the delusions. So he decides to befriend John and help him become part of the community again to pay it back. The reason for why John had another acute break from reality on the campus yard is because he was mistakenly denied access to the library. This triggered him to believe that Martin was once again playing him for a fool, hence the comment by the imaginary detectice: "Ladies and gentlemen, the great John Nash", which echoes what Martin said in the beginning of the movie when he humiliated John in GO.
crying like a baby man. this shit is sad and powerful. cant help but fully empathize with this man. albeit delusions but real relationships and real goodbyes. damn i'm sobbing
Martin's arc in the film is extremely respectable. Martin taunted, challenged and even teased John's ability to contribute to the society of mathematicians long before his schizophrenia became an obstacle. Finally, when John proves himself, Martin accepts it with grace. Now several years in the future, Martin is willing to help John at his lowest points, even allowing him to be on campus to overcome his condition. I know Martin isn't real in the actual story of John Nash, but I respect the filmmakers and writers for creating an impressive character for the sake of story.
The Martin character here may be invented, but somebody at Princeton in the '70s must have been similarly sympathetic, because they did let him hang around and sit in on classes.
@@Shmancyfancy536 And I'm sure labelling everyone in nice boxes like 'bullies' vs 'victims' and other categories allows to perpetually condemn them. How neat. You can then be the worst kind of tormentor.
@@Shmancyfancy536 That's some one-dimensional thinking, because everyone on this planet has been, or will be, a bully at least once in their lives. Redemption arcs are good, character development and character building are commendable traits, because it's someone swallowing their pride and admitting they were once wrong. Sure, it'd be great if people could be not nasty towards each other. But would you really unilaterally condemn an adult for something stupid they've done when they were much younger and less mature?
Schizophrenia is like an extreme form of openmindedness. Your mind/consciousness is so abnormally open that reality itself becomes less material and more fluid - similar to being on mushrooms. This kind of openness correlates with high creativity because a lot more novel ideas are floating into your field of consciousness. But your mind is so open that these ideas literally start to morph your material world. A coffee table could start talking to you and giving you novel ideas. The trade-off is that your mind is less buttoned-up, so it literally starts to feel like you're going insane. How would you react if all the sudden your coffee table started to talk to you? Would you be open to listening, or would you freak out and run to the doctor to put yourself on meds to suppress it? Most people would freak out because they don't have a proper context for it. Under the materialist paradigm the only context is that you're going insane. But if you understand how consciousness works then there's really nothing wrong about it, you just have an extra-open mind. What ordinary humans consider to be "hallucinations" not really hallucinations (since everything is a hallucination), they are just God's imagination - Infinite Imagination - at work in non-ordinary states of consciousness. You trip so hard you don't even know that you are schizophrenic. You forget because your memories are imaginary. You could have conversations with friends that you knew from high school and you can sit there for two hours having a conversation with this good friend of yours from high school, only to realize two hours later that you never even knew this person and that this person never even was in your room. You were just talking to the wall but you were hallucinating an entire human being with whom you had an intelligent conversation.
I've always had social anxiety delusions, being paranoid about what's everyone thinking, what ifs? Overthinking how I come over things in social setting
Not a psychologist and have no experience with psychosis myself, so this is just fwiw. Don't underestimate just how much the average person can feel alienated and mistrustful of others at times. The mundane world is not a logical place.
Some people with any kinds of mental illnesses can be controlled with caring by someone with understanding and helped to keeping them safe with medication for the rest of their natural lives.
Its kind of sad. Nash was a bit of a loner and other then his wife the illusions were the only people he had for company and friends. Other people he alienated or didn't understand him.
when he ask to be in university, i feel i was asking him.. for me....with same guilt and oppression....i am back to university after being first star faculty 7 years ago then recently mentally depressed since 4 years...but finally i am here.... hope everything goes smooth this time...
Have you ever had a very strange dream, one that is so clever, seemingly incredible and unrelated to anything that you wonder how your mind came up with it out of the blue. The mind is an extremely powerful organ, capable of conjuring all kind of fantasies and ideas.
@@andrewomahony9260 and jennifer Connelly won for supporting actress. LMAO not saying she did a a terrible job but Russell Crowes performance is better.

The voices come into his head and he is fighting it! People don't understand it! Schizophrenia! He was frightened. The people staring at him makes it even worse. I have this and I had a issue and people now stare at me and call me names. Its just I can't be with people anymore and I just want my life to be the way I want it nobody around. People GONE and Away FROM ME!
Well I think schizophrenia is rather scientific term for haunting phenomenon......how can hallucinations be felt so real? How are the unreal characters interact with the victim so realistically?? Maybe possession is not only answer but there's definitely a connection with it.
@@mrmjhere Hallucinations aren't like they are portrayed in this movie. Like a solid human being you can interact with. It doesn't work like that. It is the best way to demonstrate the harassment from the hallucinations though.
@Loki Nebula Loki Nebula I remember few dreams, it's true that my subconscious mind relates me to dream to get a conscious feeling but I can still wakeup from that dream and come back to my conscious state. The phenomenon felt by John Nash is completely different. My guess is that the movie had made his fictional characters more realistic so to create a majestic dilemma of reality. Coz I don't get it how can we see people who can show us actions which we assume to be real untill we r being spooky.
@@justaperson9155 ya true....that's the point I conclude myself from this reality dilemma shown in this movie. They actually made up John's fictional character so real to give us the idea of how such people see the world from their side of view. These hallucinations aren't that real nd I'm satisfied with the conclusion 😊
This scene is hard to watch but impactful because i'm diagnosed with Bipolar type 2 to be more specific Bipolar with Schizoaffective features and had a friend I met in the mental hospital with schizophrenia. I know what its like to have delusions and depressive as well as manic episodes. My friend with schizophrenia lives with a mentally abusive mother ive witnessed the horrors of some mental hospitals. The lack of good care the judgemental hospitals not all mental hospitals are like this but far too many are. We suffer and are not really appreciated for it we are mocked and made fun of by too many still a few people without mental health stigma. We share smiles and hugs when we are with are friends as soon as they leave we curse and swear at them behind their back. I still feel it hard to trust people that don't have mental illness because even when people without mental illness are kind I feel like they laugh at us when they are behind our back. Religious zealots thought people with Mental Illness should be thrown in dungeons or we were cursed by the Devil.
Imagine every insecurity you've ever had about yourself every little voice inside your head telling you you're no good manifesting itself as a real person inside your own head it must have been pure torture
One of the most sad aspects of John's delusions was his ultimate ability to overcome them, and still be a well respected Mathematician and academic, despite this, his son John Jr went on to follow in his footsteps, receiving his PHD in Mathematics as well, before falling I'll with the same mental illness. To this day, John Jr suffers from the illness, and John Sr and his wife passed in a car accident, leaving John Jr on his own.
In Hard times some men triger his mind behind his limits to save his homeland, they end sad and forgoten reading the newspaper in the kidchen after the destrucción of his own mind.
I can't look people in the eye when I talk to them, and have to fight myself to realize that I'm not looking them in the eye. And I'm always mentally describing things Wikipedia-style, to nobody in particular, because I'm practicing how I would describe them to a real person.
The irony of all this was that his delusions became a coping mechanism that was affecting his personal life like addictions we will never understand exactly why these disorders exist but we can manage to control them
This is the movie but in reality there are people this way isnt the Matrix another way of saying (Help)or not able to cope with reality so make up one???????
Ramesh Kumaran I think the man John was speaking to at the beginning was a psychiatrist but that’s the confusion of it all. There’s Villian Solo guy which is one of John’s hallucinations and then there’s his psychiatrist.
Has anyone here had this depth of delusions or known anyone who has? I have trouble believing these imaginary people follow him around and appear that vividly all the time.
It is this deep believe me. I have scizoaffective. A milder version of schizophrenia, but my 2 hulicinations are exactly like these two. And i have 4 auditory hulicinations.
My brother has schizophrenia, and yes it's this vivid. He has 4 people as far as I know, he doesn't like talking about what he sees and hears but he gets by in a similar way to Nash.
Auditory hallucinations are more true to life but it's not exactly true that they are just auditory. Children sometimes, more commonly historically perhaps, had imaginary friends who were quite real to them but not visibly present. That's more akin to schizophrenia, it's not so much seeing, interacting with people who appear entirely workaday and familiar so much as operating in a delusional state where the person is influenced by the voices or images of people who they may at some level know are not present in a real sense but nevertheless seem very important.
"...that's what freinds are for"
"Are we that now ?? Friends?"
"John, we have always been"

This is likened to Ai Creators they all say the same thing (AI) but is it Ai or your bias (Mirror)????
0:28 lollllll "wtf!?!?"
The irony of all this was that his delusions became a coping mechanism that was affecting his personal life like addictions we will never understand exactly why these disorders exist but we can manage to control them

I'm not a soldier. He volunteered for his delusions and yet he still struggles not to be what the delusions tell you.

I never seen this, I missed a lot
The original TMFINR
Oh boy. All too close.
was that Anthony Quinn as psychiatrist
Ramesh Kumaran I think the man John was speaking to at the beginning was a psychiatrist but that’s the confusion of it all. There’s Villian Solo guy which is one of John’s hallucinations and then there’s his psychiatrist.
No it was Christopher Plummer

every video you come to you have to mute the adds to just get to see what you want to see its s frustrating. I get it the world is all about money
Has anyone here had this depth of delusions or known anyone who has? I have trouble believing these imaginary people follow him around and appear that vividly all the time.
It is this deep believe me. I have scizoaffective. A milder version of schizophrenia, but my 2 hulicinations are exactly like these two. And i have 4 auditory hulicinations.
My brother has schizophrenia, and yes it's this vivid. He has 4 people as far as I know, he doesn't like talking about what he sees and hears but he gets by in a similar way to Nash.
It was actually mostly auditory hallucinations in real life. He never saw people according to him.
yeah sz is a bitch. really.
Auditory hallucinations are more true to life but it's not exactly true that they are just auditory. Children sometimes, more commonly historically perhaps, had imaginary friends who were quite real to them but not visibly present. That's more akin to schizophrenia, it's not so much seeing, interacting with people who appear entirely workaday and familiar so much as operating in a delusional state where the person is influenced by the voices or images of people who they may at some level know are not present in a real sense but nevertheless seem very important.

The definition of true insanity is when you overpower the world's best geniuses.

Reading the book really ruins this movie, as tends to be the case.
His imaginary friend reminds me Jordan Peterson. (Just a little bit).
