But it must have been the small screen I was viewing it on because in _A Beautiful Mind_ he is simply superlative. The film is very well-done and yup, it has many redeeming features in it, such as loyalty, faith, hope and courage. John Nash was a genius of a mathematician at Princeton in the 1950s. His life spun out of control into a nightmare of schhizophrenia. Ostensibly it's about how he overcame this to win a Nobel Prize in Economics but the more profound message of the film is contained in the character of his wife, beautifully and passionately played by Jennifer Connelly. Ron Howard stitches the film together seamlessly. A Beautiful Mind Preview
