Whether you like Russell Crowe or not, consider his great range of acting ability -- from a Roman gladiator to a schizophrenic man to an 18th century ship captain to a Depression-era boxer to a gunfighter in the Old American West. He portrayed all of these characters in early 2000s movies, convincing me that he's one of the greatest actors of my generation.

I knew John at Princeton shortly before we tragically lost him and Alicia. I asked him to teach me the Nash equilibrium because my professor couldn't teach it in any way I could understand, and he generously gave me some of his time. We don't really do the pen thing at Princeton, but this residential college - Rockefeller College, or "Rocky" - is even more beautiful in person than it is on film. And Crowe did the tea thing because he experienced it while visiting the real Nash. I can believe it, because John once offered me the second half of his sandwich after eating through the first half. Great memories! Professor Nash was a living legend.

I’ve watched this movie so many times, but today I finally came to a conclusion about this movie. It is never said, and I don’t know that the directors meant to do this, but Nash’s equilibrium was not only what helped him win the Nobel prize, but it also saved his life. It was only working with Saul, Bender, and Martin that greatness was achieved. It was only with his friends that he came up with his original idea (and not alone). It was only with Felicia that he discovered his affliction in fear he might hurt her. It was only with Martin and Felicia’s help that John was able to overcome his affliction and become a functional member of the community. Nash says in the movie that success can only be achieved when everyone does what’s best for themselves and the group. It wasn’t until John started working with the group that his real triumphs began.

Studies economics and doing my master in applied statistics (data science). The movie is beautiful as well as it's music but the Nash equilibrium is not presented correctly in the movie. It seems like it incorporates altruism into the maximisation problem of the individual but it does not. It shows that when maximizing individually a group of people will, given uncertainty over the choices off the others, not always reach the optimal outcome. So it is about trust in some way. However in my opinion stochastic optimization and information theroy develop this way further. Economics just hasn't caught up yet.

I still find it difficult to watch, however, because some of the scenes strike too damn close to home. Still, it's in my library and I watch it to remember the struggle. BTW, Nash's comment regarding "the diet of the mind" is very sage advice. Everyone's life would be better if they acknowledged things that they indulge in that serve little purpose.

Whether you like Russell Crowe or not, consider his great range of acting ability -- from a Roman gladiator to a schizophrenic man to an 18th century ship captain to a Depression-era boxer to a gunfighter in the Old American West. He portrayed all of these characters in early 2000s movies, convincing me that he's one of the greatest actors of my generation.
He was brilliant in American Gangster.
He is my favorite actor.His leading role spree from 98 to 2006 is flawless
I like Russel Crowe. He fights his directors and he fights his fans. It's a problem no one understands.

@@HughJass-jv2lt Master and Commander, The Far Side of the World. Fantastic movie. One of his best.
The part where Nash talks to himself about what kind of tea he should drink was something that really happened when Russell Crowe visited the real John Nash and had tea with him. Crowe liked it so much he added it in to this scene.

The most touching scene ... 😭😭😭
Me,
I knew John at Princeton shortly before we tragically lost him and Alicia. I asked him to teach me the Nash equilibrium because my professor couldn't teach it in any way I could understand, and he generously gave me some of his time. We don't really do the pen thing at Princeton, but this residential college - Rockefeller College, or "Rocky" - is even more beautiful in person than it is on film. And Crowe did the tea thing because he experienced it while visiting the real Nash. I can believe it, because John once offered me the second half of his sandwich after eating through the first half. Great memories! Professor Nash was a living legend.
Could you explain the pen thing to me?
Liar
I lived here in Holder hall in 1983-4 and sometimes I come back to this scene just to be nostalgic. They sure dressed up the David Firestone room , but all I want to have here is a green Rocky dining tray.
@@omegacon4 why do you assume the commenter was lying?
@@michaelfoxbrass Because I knew John Nash and he said there were always people would lie about things that he supposedly did with them (like sharing his sandwiches).
How on God's green earth did he not win an Academy award for this performance is beyond my understanding.
He lost to Denzel Washington for Training Day. He was good too, but Crowe was better IMO.
Denzel should of won an oscar for malcom X.They felt bad that they did not give it him,so they awarded for him for training day.Russel Crowe should of won for this movie and not gladiator.
I don't know, Denzel was pretty brilliant in Training Day also. I don't think they could have gone wrong with either Russell or Denzel that year.
Vineet Bailur He won best actor
He'd already won best actor for Gladiator the year before and he won the golden globe for this film. So I don't think that the academy felt that he really needed to win it for this one. Plus, like others have mentioned, Denzel hadn't won one for best actor yet at this point leading up to the 2001 Oscars.
The real John Nash at 4:37 presenting a pen to the actor playing John Nash. Nice touch Ron Howard!
Well son of a bitch! Great eye. And yes, very nice touch by the director. He did the same thing in Apollo 13 where he had the real Jim Lovell play the captain of the carrier where the Apollo 13 crew were off loaded. He's the one shaking Tom Hanks' hand.

Now that's just the lovely heart of the scene. Beautiful comment.
The thing I really love about this scene is how Russell Crowe played it. For most people the thought of winning a Nobel would be the overwhelming element. But for Nash this moment is about being accepted and respected by his peers. Just really well done.
Underrated comment

In fairness, most winners are like this. When the winner in Physics for BEC was asked what he did after winning he simply said "I had a glass of wine and went to bed at my usual time".

Winning the Nobel comes with various perks, one of which is a lifetime supply of pens.
Personally I find it extraordinary the idea that anybody could will themselves into sanity by choosing not to acknowledge fantasy in an ever constant struggle to maintain a tether to reality. That is worthy of respect.
When Nash said "he takes the newer medications", that was added. The real Nash refused all medications, but the filmmakers didn't want to encourage anyone going off their meds.
Thank you.

The most touching scene in the movie. Russell Crowe should’ve won every award available for this role. It’s really sad that the world lost the real John and Alicia Nash to a car accident.
@Miles Doyle It's sad that people still believe fairy tales.
As others have pointed out - this never happened, yet it does not diminish how magnificent and wholesome this scene is. I cry every time I watch it. I absolutely love it.
The most wonderful thing about fiction is that it rights the wrongs of reality. This may not have happened, but it should have.
It may not have taken place IRL, nor is there an actual ceremony like it, but it doesn't diminish its symbolic meaning in the context of the film. There's a deleted Scene where, after the Go match John spends the night studying the Go board, and in the morning bursts into the room with the idea for a new board game, first called 'Nash' but eventually gaining the name of Hex. I play in memory of John & Alicia Nash, and this Film.
Every time I see this scenario, it brings tears to my old eyes. Russell Crowe should have won the Oscar for this movie.
Oscar's don't mean shit. It's a popularity contest
Did he deserve it more than Denzel? Or Sean Penn or Wil Smith?
Such a great scene. Right as Nash admits he resists the urge to imagine and dream, suddenly a dream comes true right before his eyes.
Well said!
The feelings you get from the respect of your peers is incalculable.
they should have used a amazon wish list though, so that they didn't all show up with the same gift. and they are supposed to be high IQ people, sigh...
Didn't his wife stay married to him? Most people probably would have bailed
His peers ran him over with a truck try entire movie. Take your own & shove up your azz
I choked up when Nash said good-bye to his best friend and the little girl, but THIS scene caused a watershed. My absolute favorite movie--EVER.
The book was fantastic as well.
Same! 😭
I suffer from hallucinations, so I admire the talent it took to play this role. He should’ve won an Oscar for this one. Denzel is great, but this performance was legendary
The mind is incredible. Incredible to the point of creating things and people, that aren't really there. Or are they? I'm going down a rabbit hole here. How can we know for absolutely certain, that we are not living in a virtual world akin to the Matrix? I mean, for all we know, the world around us might just be a simulation playing out only in our own minds... and any hallucinations are glitches in that simulation. Scary thought, isn't it?

If Russel Crowe didn't win the Oscar for The Gladiator he would have definitely got one for this. He was exceptional in this film. My favourite role he's played by far.
he should have won for this one, but you know how quotas work
I love how he aged so candidly into his schizophrenia. Most people don’t recover because they’re ashamed and try to hide it. He’s like “now that I know you’re real, what do you want?” Savage.
One of his best characteristics
I doubt it's that simple but this is impressive regardless.
Most people with schizophrenia aren’t aware they have the disease. Speaking from experience and a sizeable family history. It’s the greatest tragedy of all, to be perfectly honest. Suffering and not knowing why. Nash’s biggest strength is he eventually figured it out on his own.
He didnt have schizophrenia. Everyone else in his life did. It will be challenging for you to empathize with the whole world pulling a "no u" on you, in unison.

This is probably Russell Crowe's best work. A truly heartbreaking performance.
That can be debated with no wrong answer. For personal reasons I prefer his best work to be Cinderella Man.

@@salihgonuller that's crazy. I really do believe things happen for a reason. Even if they're seemingly trivial.
As many times as I have watched this, it just doesn't have the impact of when I saw it for the first time at the movies. This is one of those movies I wish I could forget so I could watch it again for the first time.
I absolutely agree!
I’ve watched this movie so many times, but today I finally came to a conclusion about this movie. It is never said, and I don’t know that the directors meant to do this, but Nash’s equilibrium was not only what helped him win the Nobel prize, but it also saved his life. It was only working with Saul, Bender, and Martin that greatness was achieved. It was only with his friends that he came up with his original idea (and not alone). It was only with Felicia that he discovered his affliction in fear he might hurt her. It was only with Martin and Felicia’s help that John was able to overcome his affliction and become a functional member of the community. Nash says in the movie that success can only be achieved when everyone does what’s best for themselves and the group. It wasn’t until John started working with the group that his real triumphs began.
This comment is so underrated
Amazing theory,maks 100% sense.
It's Alicia....
😲yes…
Studies economics and doing my master in applied statistics (data science). The movie is beautiful as well as it's music but the Nash equilibrium is not presented correctly in the movie. It seems like it incorporates altruism into the maximisation problem of the individual but it does not. It shows that when maximizing individually a group of people will, given uncertainty over the choices off the others, not always reach the optimal outcome. So it is about trust in some way. However in my opinion stochastic optimization and information theroy develop this way further. Economics just hasn't caught up yet.
This is one of those movies that always stay with me. Thanks to my stepdad for buying this gem years ago.
It reminds me a little of Peter Sellers' character in "Being There". That was genius in simplicity, but here it is genius in complexity. Genius none the less though, and very memorable characters both.
The loveliest scene in the movie, and gave Russell Crowe a chance to show what a truly gifted actor he is
One of THE best movies I've ever seen.

Looked it up: The scene in the movie A Beautiful Mind in which mathematics professors ritualistically present pens to Nash was completely fabricated in Hollywood. No such custom exists. What it symbolizes is that Nash was accepted and recognized in the mathematics community for his accomplishments.

Perhaps my favorite scene in a movie ever…I may have cried every time.
John Forbes Nash Jr. (June 13, 1928 - May 23, 2015) was an American mathematician who made fundamental contributions to game theory, differential geometry, and the study of partial differential equations.[2][3] Nash's work has provided insight into the factors that govern chance and decision-making inside complex systems found in everyday life.
GOSH, I could never Get Over the impression and Admiration that I feel every time I see him Playing the OLD Character to Perfection.
I like that Nash seriously considered the possibility that he might embarrass them and wasn't insulted by the question. It demonstrated to me the sort of objective thinking that makes great men.
"I think, he thinks, that I think, he thinks" Nash equilibrium on game theory.
+fabricioface however...
Does he know that I know that he knows that ,well, I know, you know? Whaddaya know?
It gets US every FREAKING time... WE just can't avoid the tears, no matter how long we haven't seen it or how many times we've seen it.
One of the most beautiful scenes of all time
God, this movie. INCREDIBLE. Every time I watch it, it’s like the first time. Overwhelming & perfect performance by one of our finest actors ever.
Im 66yrs old and the pen scene always makes me want to greet just that recognition after all those years despite his Schizophrenia clearly intelligense wins over prejudice every time👍👏
There’s no way Denzel’s training day performance was better than Crowe in a beautiful mind. One of the biggest Oscar snubs ever.
they snubbed Denzel for Malcolm X, so the making-good-train pushed Crowe a few years along.
Followed up by the last scene of this film the most moving part of a most beautiful film. Anyone who persists in believing mental illness isn't as real as any physical one after this film lacks sanity themselves. RIP Professor & Alicia Nash.
This film is to intellectuals what Brian's Song is to athletes. There are few words to describe the emotion of toiling in obscurity to only be recognized so many years after the fact. This is a poignant moment that always puts a lump in my throat. Russell Crowe's performance in this film is among his best, if not his best. I still find it difficult to watch, however, because some of the scenes strike too damn close to home. Still, it's in my library and I watch it to remember the struggle. BTW, Nash's comment regarding "the diet of the mind" is very sage advice. Everyone's life would be better if they acknowledged things that they indulge in that serve little purpose.
I agree - "too damn close to home". The brilliance of this movie is how I was taken in by it and self-identified as Nash more than any other character.
how do your own farts smell
@@trahnettilhcs Care to elaborate?
This movie brought tears to my eyes. So moving.

To think that Nash died in a car accident coming home from receiving the Abel Prize for mathematics, a prize he himself regarded as even more prestigious than the nobel prize. I never heard of the abel prize before reading his obituary. Looks like he is the only person ever to win both Nobel and Abel prize.
„Diet of the mind“. I love and adore this line. If there was only one line to pick it would be this.
