Product Description
Book Description
"A Beautiful Mind, the intensely human drama of a true genius, is inspired by events in the life of mathematician John Forbes Nash, Jr. The handsome and highly eccentric Nash made an astonishing discovery early in life and stood on the brink of international acclaim. But his white-hot ascent into the intellectual stratosphere drastically changed course when Nash's intuitive brilliance was undermined by schizophrenia. Facing challenges that have destroyed many others, Nash fought back, with the help of his devoted wife Alicia. After decades of hardship, he triumphed over tragedy, and received the Nobel Prize in 1994. A living legend, Nash continues to pursue his work today." Directed by Ron Howard and produced by Brian Grazer, this Universal and DreamWorks production stars Russell Crowe as John Nash. The screenplay of A Beautiful Mind was written by Akiva Goldsman and based in part on the biography of Sylvia Nasar. The cast also includes Ed Harris, Jennifer Connelly, Paul Bettany, and Judd Hirsch.

My Heart is Still Bleeding,
By Celia A. Escalante (Miami, Fl USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: A Beautiful Mind: The Shooting Script (Paperback)
It was very painful for me too keep reading this document until the very end. Someone who I love with all my soul apprised the moral value of the end movie and I had to see it for myself. The fact of the matter is this is a true story. Here we have a man who has a dream and who is so persistent to see it realized that he fails to see the many great blessings God has brought to him. You see, God is more persistent. Whether Nash realizes it or not no one is excluded from imperfection and it still doesn't matter because God loves us all the same and he gave us that capability as well. The great lesson I see is love yourself and those around you and you'll want to see tomorrow. Oh, and, don't forget to count your blessings.

Goldsman's Work,
By
This review is from: A Beautiful Mind: The Shooting Script (Paperback)
I tend to admire the work that goes into forging a screen adaptation from a book. In this case Goldsman has created a truly compelling script which, as we all know, won the academy award. Worth reading? (in addition to seeing the movie?) Yes. Because you will see so much more. The movie is the product; this is the raw material that gets worked. You'll gather what was specified and what was originated by the actors, how much the scenes were designed and envisioned beyond just the words. In a way it is thrilling to read a screenplay, enabling you to go behind the polished fantasy of film, back to ideas and possibilities.Another discovery is the screenplay's direct or economical way of conveying such complex emotions as those of Nash and Alicia in very few words, and with these words the actors generate their own filmic magic. It is a treat to have the script in hand like this.
