positive · AI labelView post →Writing up a 2001 movie that really stinks but somehow won a major Oscar. And what's funny is there's two films that could fit this big time. Somehow the one that gave the worst major screenwriter ever an Oscar IS NOT one. (I love A Beautiful Mind.. It's BS. Love it)
neutral · AI labelView post →Russell Crowe plays a mirror image of his role in A Beautiful Mind as Netflix's feature film about the development of, and manhunt for, Ted Kaczynski fails to convince. I'm not sure that the Unabomber needed a sympathetic origin story, but here we are. 2 out of 5. film-authority.com/2026/09/27/u...

neutral · AI labelView post →I'll never forget watching A Beautiful Mind (of all things) with my ex's parents. They were HORRIFIED that the film implied that John Nash had erectile dysfunction and loudly exclaimed "OH THIS IS INAPPROPRIATE" during the very sad scene when he couldn't get it on with his wife.
neutral · AI labelView post →I saw that movie A Beautiful Mind on a nun date. It's a good movie but has a horrible message. You can be redeemed from crippling mental illness. All you need is a super beautiful lady to sacrifice her life for you.

positive · AI labelView post →i still can't believe the starting point of this movie was 'make Jaws'. A Beautiful Mind shouldn't be about some math nerd, it should be about Nobuhiko Obayashi because only the most beautiful mind could cook Hausu up from Jaws
negative · AI labelView post →While we're at it, I want yak tracks back. I don't miss anything else about the age of DVDs, but I did watch those. Some of them were really good, for example the director's commentary on A Beautiful Mind was so insightful and useful when teaching high school English, film studies unit.

A Beautiful Mind is quite the film.
positive · AI labelView post →"A Beautiful Mind" (2001) This one hits home for me, 'cause I have schizophrenia, too. The movie helped me recognize my symptoms back in 2009, and I got the help I needed before it got as bad as depicted in the movie.
positive · AI labelView post →Seeing people posting about wrong details in movies, and for me, it's the Nobel speech in A BEAUTIFUL MIND. That is NOT how it works when you get the Nobel Prize, dude. You don't get it like an Oscar and get to hold a speech on the spot. COME TF ON. I disliked the movie too, but that scene? UGH.

neutral · AI labelView post →I enjoy that movie A Beautiful Mind. I saw it on a nun date even. But it has a terrible message. Namely, all you need to cope with and even experience triumph within mental illness is the patient and self-sacrificing accompaniments of a beautiful lady.

Shame there is no movie about Beurling. But A Beautiful Mind comes in mind depicting John Nash at deciphering - and he went crazy, right?

neutral · AI labelView post →47. Chocolat- A confection (ha!) that looks and feels like it was shot at EuroDisney. Thankfully, the wildly over qualified cast are clearly enjoying each other’s company. 46. A Beautiful Mind- Crowe and Connelly’s work buttresses a movie that’s too slickly made and glib about its subject.
