I just finished watching A Beautiful Mind. What a great movie.

My only question is how much of the movie is really true to his life?
 
I haven't watched yet.

I love Jenny. Loooong time.

Russel is a wus.
 
Yes, great movie.
I think most of it is pretty close. I think he colaborated on the movie if I am not mistaken. Seems like I saw a preview where he was on the set with them. May have been her, though.

I'd heard about it for the longest time, just never made the effort to watch it. This morning I woke up early and there it was. I got caught up watching it. :)

Jennifer Connelly plays awesomely. What a strong and faithful woman too.

p.s. Russel didn't look his usual handsome self in this movie, but his character was still lovable. *grin*
 
I heard from a friend that the book is a lot better and he was dissapointed by the movie because the book was so much better.

I liked the movie a lot too, but if you liked it as much as you say you do I suggest you pick up the book.

Interesting...

I'm fascinated at this point. What I wouldn't do to be able to get into his brain for a bit.

btw... see you're new to Lit, welcome to the board Xodus. :)

I didn't realize there was a book. That's usually the case with books to movies. The book always far outshines the movie.

I'll plan on picking that book up. Thanks for the tip.
