With Fischer you have a pretty classic case of a mental state that is hard to label or define. Was he insane in a legal sense? No. But he clearly was way out there. A paranoid pattern seeker, something the movie connects quite effectively to having a great chess mind. He was not your garden variety anti-semite. I am not making excuses for Fischer. Cleary he was not a very likable guy regardless of his rabid anti-semitism and anti-Americanism that came after fading away into seclusion. But one can be quite interesting and complex and not be likable.
