As the movie started I was wondering if its action, drama, comedy or somewhat like a true story. At first I feel boring because it’s just conversations and I could not relate to any situation. But as the movie goes on I was enlightened when he was caught and sent to a hospital by a psychiatric. Before that happen I was really amazed how genius he was and create a theory, with all the mathematical symbols and others. Unfortunately he was this type of person who is alone always, do things by himself. He doesn’t even have a family who could take care of him and talk to him that a family should do. Because of this situation of him he started to have an illusion friend which he thinks his roommate and they become best buddies. Whenever he went his imaginary friend always support at him, later on he realizes it was all an illusions.
The main character was John Nash who graduated in Princeton. He is almost obsessed to be recognized for original work and begins writing his formulas on windows and napkins while slapping his colleagues with many insulting, yet witty comments. Nash's work on Game Theory in the early stages has Nash comparing it to football, pigeon feeding habits and picking up women. It's the bar scene where Nash has his big 'Ah Ha' moment. While Nash and his friends all have their eyes on the same Blonde woman, you begin to sense his 'genius moment'. He surprises his colleagues with the question that if we all want the same woman, nobody wins, if we all go after her friends, nobody wins, and thus there must be a solution to ensure that everyone wins. With that, Nash writes a formula on a napkin, rushes out of the bar and works feverishly on his new theory. Thanks to the blonde woman. Finally he formulated his theory and creates a wonderful method.
