The subject of this 2001 film, John Nash, and his wife Alicia, were killed yesterday in a New Jersey car accident.
Based on a 1998 book of the same name by Sylvia Nasar, the film was terrific, IMO, with Russell Crowe and Jennifer Connelly. Nash's imaginary friends, including one played by Ed Harris, gave excellent portrayals of delusional paranoid schizophrenia. Absolutely scarey watching what it did to him, watching his family and friends walking away and ridiculing him. Yet within that context of his life, he discovered mathematics so complex that almost no one today can grasp it. Those who select recipients for a Pulitzer Prize were among those who could. Connelly played his wife, who was the sole reinforcement for him to pin his recovery on. The fact that he did so (to a manageable degree) speaks loudly for the strength of will within Nash.
A great film and love story to see again as one to lift the human spirit. As of yesterday, Nash and wife are gone.
