A Beautiful Mind

In 1951 'John Nash (V)' (qv) drinks from a paper cup with the "recycled" symbol on it.

The symbol didn't come into use until much later.

The light switch on the wall in 'John Nash (V)' (qv) and 'Alicia Nash' (qv)'s house is of a modern design.

In the 1950s, 'Alicia Nash' (qv) is shown in her kitchen with a Tupperware Wonderlier covered bowl that wasn't available until the 1970s.

In 'John Nash (V)' (qv)'s neighborhood during the 1950s, one of the houses has a modern-day plastic telephone box on the outside.

The baby's pacifier shown on the floor is clearly a Nuk orthodontic pacifier.

This brand (made by Gerber) was not made available in the US until well into the 1960s.

A plastic laundry basket appears in a scene taking place in the 1950s.

When 'Alicia Nash' (qv) gives 'John Nash (V)' (qv) his medicine, she places it on a piece of newspaper from where it disappears and reappears before he takes it.

When the pens are being placed on 'John Nash (V)' (qv)'s table, they switch from being perpendicular to Nash to being parallel.

In 1994 when 'John Nash (V)' (qv) is talking to the man about the Nobel Prize nomination and they are drinking tea, yellow packets of Splenda are clearly visible on the table.

Splenda was not available in the U.

until 1998.

The way 'John Nash (V)' (qv) is holding his briefcase changes between shots during the pen presentation.

When 'John Nash (V)' (qv) says that perhaps he should return to the hospital, he takes 'Alicia Nash' (qv)'s hand twice between shots.

In Nash's first lecture, the formula on the chalkboard changes between shots.

An "f" changes to "F" and a superscript "3" appears.

The aerial view of the Pentagon includes the modern-day helicopter landing pad.

There is no "ceremony of the pens" at Princeton University.

As 'John Nash (V)' (qv) is talking to Martin Hansen in his office, the reflection of the boom can be seen in the frame of the picture in the background When Nash is talking to the man about the Nobel Prize nomination and they are drinking tea, the spoon in the man's hand disappears and reappears between shots.

When 'Alicia Nash' (qv) puts the medicine on the newspaper it is flat, but in the next shot one of the tablets is standing upwards.

In the first classroom scene, the movable blackboard is in a different raised position between shots.

Since the first outdoor scene at Princeton was filmed in winter, but is supposed to take place in the fall, CGI leaves were put on the trees.

But the shadow of the trees have no leaves on them.

When Alicia drinks a glass of water in the bathroom she empties the glass.

Cut to the next shot she splashes the wall with a good amount of water and then throws the glass, breaking it.

When 'Alicia Nash' (qv) is comforting 'John Nash (V)' (qv) after his delusional breakdown at Princeton, she holds her hand out, and Nash places his left hand in hers.

Next scene, he places his hand in hers again.

When 'John Nash (V)' (qv) is giving his speech at the Nobel Ceremony, the embroidery on the handkerchief in his pocket is visible then not visible between shots.

In the first scene in his dorm room at Princeton, set in 1947, 'John Nash (V)' (qv) listens to a recording by the early-music ensemble Gothic Voices featuring soprano 'Emma Kirkby' (qv).

The recording, of 'Hildegard von Bingen' (qv)'s "Columba aspexit," was not made until 1981; in fact, Emma Kirkby was not even born until 1949.

'Silvia Drottning' (qv) (The Queen of Sweden) is not blonde but has black hair and 'King Carl XVI Gustaf' (qv) of Sweden is not shorter than her.

When 'John Nash (V)' (qv) arrives at MIT after having come from the pentagon he is wearing a topcoat though everyone complains about the air-conditioning is broken and it followed by a scene in which opening windows because of the heat facilitates the film's "meet cute".

However this might not be a gratuitous error but a foreshadowing of Nash's mental disturbances.

As 'John Nash (V)' (qv) walks on the Harvard campus on his way to the math conference (shortly before being chased by Rosen and his men), he drops his bag behind him to hug his roommate and the young girl.

During his conversations with them, the bag remains on the ground.

Within one second, just before Nash walks off, the bag goes from being on the ground to being clutched to his chest.

In the section set in March 1994, we see the trees a healthy green.

In New Jersey, trees are still bare in March.

After Helinger tells 'John Nash (V)' (qv) he will not receive any placement, the camera pulls back on John as he stands in the doorway.

The actor's 'T' mark can be seen on the floor to the far right of the screen where John had previously been standing.

A number of facts in 'John Nash (V)' (qv)'s life were intentionally altered for dramatic and commercial reasons.

Alfred Nobel's name is misspelled as "Noble" on the rostrum.

Even if the audience at the Nobel Prize ceremony would give a laureate a standing ovation, the Swedish 'King Carl XVI Gustaf' (qv) and his family, who sit on stage to the right, would never, ever rise.

In the Pentagon scene, where Dr.

'John Nash (V)' (qv) discovers the codes are map coordinates, one of the coordinates he reads off is "67-46-90", presumably in degrees, minutes and seconds.

But in the degree-minute-second coordinate system, seconds go up only to 59, not 90.

Contrary to what the Nobel representative claims, "the Sveriges Riksbank prize in economic sciences in memory of Alfred Nobel" is not privately funded.

It is financed by the Swedish state bank.

(The five "genuine" Nobel prizes are funded by the legacy of Alfred Nobel.

) 'John Nash (V)' (qv) didn't receive the Nobel prize alone, but with colleague Reinhard Selten and Hungarian-born János Harsányi.

"Game Theory" was initiated by Hungarian-born John von Neumann and Austrian-born Oskar Morgenstern in 1944.

Strictly speaking, 'John Nash (V)' (qv) didn't win the Nobel Prize because there isn't a prize for Economics or Mathematics.

(Alfred Nobel who willed his estate to the Nobel foundation saw no need for a prize in mathematics.

) In 1969 the Swedish Central Bank established the "The Sveriges Riksbank Prize in Economic Sciences in Memory of Alfred Nobel".

This prize is presented in the same ceremony and is therefore often mistaken for a proper Nobel Prize.

It is even often referred to as the "Nobel Prize in Economics" in daily conversation; the fictional character of President Jed Bartlet on _"The West Wing" (1999)_ (qv) was also presented as a Nobel Prize winner (for economics) with the show also not making the real-world distinctions.

When Nash and Parcher are walking to the warehouse the wide shot so well lit shows the right side of the stairway they pass as lit from behind the left wall.

On the tighter shot when they actually cross in front of that stairway there is no light on the wall at all.

Then in the wide shot again the light is there.

When the Russians are chasing Parcher and Nash in the car, one of the headlights of Parcher's is out but when they stop at the waters edge and get out both headlights are working.

On the "hot Day" when the air-conditioning isn't working, the open window reveals a tree bare of leaves, and Nash arrives at the office in a heavy overcoat.

On the wedding day the trees in the background are full of green leaves, when there is snow on the ground.

Throughout the movie, there are times when the scenery does not match the apparent season.

The students "bad" tie shows stars and double helices.

Although someone might have drawn those patterns already before the early 1950th, the double helix as scientific symbol had its breakthrough not until 1953.

Perhaps genius and neuropathy are only separated by a line. In many cases, the boundaries between them are not very clear, and schizophrenia like "a beautiful eve" is in most cases the patent of a person with a high IQ.

A beautiful,insightful and very moving film which is a joy to watch. The script and direction are superb and the film zips along at a 'page-turning' rate which will continually have you asking 'what happens next' as it is a rolled up thriller, love story and biography in one.

(A beautiful mind) the best film I've seen in my entire life. It leaves a message so beautiful: when you propose to do something, you must never surrender and what exactly did John was fighting for ignoring their hallucinations.

The story of genius is not scarce in the movie world, but A Beautiful Mind touches the heart is that it gives a fatal flaw to the genius. The solution to this defect is not by any IQ or drugs, but by human love.

What criteria should we judge a biopic on? How true to life it is, or how well it works as a standalone movie?

A thousand reader with a thousand hamurate. In my opinion, mind here refers to the brain.

This film is beautiful, heartfelt and emotional. A Beautiful Mind tells the story of John Nash perfectly and Russell Crowe plays him outstandingly.

By the time Russell Crowe (as John Nash) married Jennifer Connelly (as Alicia), I had serious concerns about "A Beautiful Mind". My first question revolved around Mr.
