robertdowneyjr: Thanks Matthew Rhys for the anniversary charter on the Rarebit @moveablefeastny. Highly recommend. The less than helpful first mate Paul Bettany…no comment.

@moveablefeastny: Happy Anniversary Susan and Robert! Always great taking on new crew. Great vision from first mate Bettany in not losing toes. (Bettany and I hadn’t treaded boards together for a quarter of a century. We are thinking of taking this short one act play on the road titled - ‘You Win some you Transom’

I recently watched Labyrinth from 1986 film and I thought of something. Paul Bettany should throw his beautiful wife Jennifer Connelly costume party like the movie for her birthday. Also Connelly wear the same iconic dress and hair done just like Sarah character.

A BEAUTIFUL MIND 2001

Imagine if you suddenly learned that the people, the places, the moments most important to you were not gone, not dead, but worse, had never been. What kind of hell would that be?

crowd vs. critic single take // A BEAUTIFUL MIND (2001)

Note: This is a modified version of a review originally written for ZekeFilm. Photo credits: IMDb.com.

John Nash spends his life looking through windows. Though we know today that he will become a Nobel Prize-winning mathematician, he spends most of his life on the outside looking in, drawing equations between the panes. First he scrambles to develop his thesis at Princeton University, and then he struggles to be a good husband to fellow brainiac Alicia (Jennifer Connelly) and good father to their son. But his life becomes more complicated when a new (and highly classified) job opportunity arises. Will this role finally help him realize his dream of making his mark on the world? 

CROWD // One of the beauties of this Best Picture Project is I keep getting to say, “That was not what I was expecting!” Once more, A Beautiful Mind is another excuse to dust off that phrase.

This Best Picture winner does check off a lot of boxes of modern Oscar contenders. It’s a technically accomplished biopic about an influential but misunderstood historical figure whose career competes with his family life, and yes, I could double the length of this piece by listing 21st century Best Picture noms featuring that arc. But there’s a twist to A Beautiful Mind, and it’s the jolt this biopic needs to stick in our memories. Somehow that twist wasn’t spoiled for me in the last two decades, so I’ll continue to withhold it in case you are just as lucky. Rest assured it saves what would otherwise be a stale historical drama with a penchant for shout-y melodrama. 

POPCORN POTENTIAL: 8/10

CRITIC // In short, A Beautiful Mind is more than the memes of floating numbers it has inspired. Crowe and Oscar winner Connelly provide a narrative heart, making the most of the script’s unnatural, expository dialogue and looking especially polished in the chic period costumes. The scene stealers, though, are supporting players Paul Bettany and Ed Harris, who walk a fine line between caricature and archetype but ultimately energize the story. (Notably, they are not accurate portrayals of their real counterparts in Nash’s life.) They are also part of this film’s sneaky strength: making difficult-to-understand concepts digestible. Those memes may feel silly online, but in context, they are a creative and, at times, thrilling depiction of our hero’s superpowers. Reading Nash’s Wikipedia page, I know I will never understand the mathematical concepts he explored, but for a moment, Ron Howard made be me believe I could keep up—what could be more unexpected than that?

ARTISTIC TASTE: 8.5/10
