首先，将要嫁给纳什的麻省理工的学生Alicia Larde (Jennifer Connelly饰)愉悦的跑进nash的办公室，挥舞着手中的稿纸，她刚刚证明出了一个极端*的假设。她的导师同时也是未来的丈夫把目光从刚喝过的纸咖啡杯挪开，瞥了一眼Alicia的证明，“很精妙，但是错了。”他说，给出的评判挺符合一个“美丽的心灵”。
让我们退后了看，从错误到精妙。纳什先生今年73岁，这个尴尬而天赋异禀的人拥有他们这代人中最出众的数学才能。他三十出头的时候一场精神疾病极大的打击了他的创造能力，而他曾经在博弈论、量子力学、数论等诸多领域有着杰出的成就。经过三十多年的与精神*症的抗争，他好象是得到了上帝奇迹般的宽恕，于1994年获得了诺贝尔纪念奖，以表彰他在40年代末于普林斯顿大学所作出的经济学成就。
总体上看，纳什先生跌宕起伏的一生刚好符合电影所渴望叙事结构：光彩照人的生活惨遭不幸最终又依靠顽强的精神获得了胜利。但是，就像Nasar小姐在之前为《纽约时报》做的经济学报告中所说的那样，细看他的生活，其中夹杂着诸多迷人或者糟糕的故事。在数学这个具有古怪名声的行业中，纳什先生可以算得上是一个质数。他*的暴躁脾气以及他那些残忍而危险的侮辱和恶作剧在他的同事中可算得上是臭名远扬了。
他同alicia结婚之前，他们有了一个叫John的孩子。同时，他还是另外一个也叫John的孩子的父亲，这是他同一个叫 Eleanor Stiers的女子生下的，纳什后来离弃了他们。他与许多男性有着强烈而明显的性关系，他甚至因为在加州圣莫妮卡（Santa Monica）的男卫生间中要求与人发生性关系而被捕，并且因此丢掉了他在研究与发展公司（RAND）的职务。当他的病症越来越严重、行为越来越无法忍受的时候，alicia与他离婚了（他们于去年6月复婚）。
上述这些我们在电影中都看不到。更糟的却是那些被粉饰的学术和*经历把他的天才和疯狂一起塑造成了一座丰碑。电影《美丽心灵》开始于一个虚构的 Helinger 教授(Judd Hirsch饰)的演讲，演讲上说美国的数学家在抵御纳粹的战争中发挥了重要作用，现在要把注意力转向抵抗苏联*主义。
这一场景以及接下来的故事将冷战时期疑神疑鬼的学术界过分的简单化了。当时，许多的数学家和科学家同情支持社会主义，这也包括纳什离开普林斯顿之后去任教的麻省理工（而不是象电影中所说他之后在领导一项有关防御的机密研究），当然更多的人对社会主义表示怀疑（这包括后面提到的 Robert Oppenheimer）。而nash不在其中，他被Howard导演和Goldsman先生描绘成了一个无畏的冷血战士。即使在国防部的智囊团——研究与发展公司（RAND），他也更乐于进行纯理论的研究而非实际应用，1960年他甚至尝试着放弃自己的美国国籍并建立一个世界*。
显然，所有的这些对于观众来说都太难以承受了，任何会减少观众同情心的真实事件均被涂抹掉，留下了一个害羞而可爱的天才形象。当然，任何一个源自传记的电影都会将原著修改、粉饰、强调或者压缩，但是《美丽心灵》走得更远，变成了同《肯尼迪》（J.F.K.）或者《阿甘正传》一样的历史修正主义影片，并另人沮丧的表现出了对观众智慧的低估。
电影所声称的真实到底有多少是历史的本来面貌？对于这个问题，写电影的人比拍电影的人更感兴趣。不过无论如何，这都没有难倒Howard先生。但是，如果没有以上这些令人窒息的异议，或者不相信这些事情，甚至无知的反驳说这只是一部电影，那么这部电影就值得用它自己的语言作评判。也许，借用一下数学符号上的规矩，这部电影可以叫做《纳什质数》或者干脆叫Nashi（i代表虚数）。这个纳什的故事没有丧失它的美丽。
一方面，Connelly小姐在剧中是一个敏锐而活泼的角色，她最初是一个数学爱好者之后又成为了这个不安而难处的男人的妻子。而其他的演员，包括Ed Harris演的联邦特工、Christopher Plummer 饰演的精神病医生、Paul Bettany演的英国纨绔子弟、 Josh Lucas演的喜欢数学的校运动员等，都在努力不让自己在戏中成为一个可有可无的角色。Roger Deakins用其优雅的电影手法，将战后的普林斯顿大学变成了一个甜蜜的世外桃源。
但是，罗素克劳能够坚持，他拒绝了每一个能把角色演的过火的机会。太多用来卖弄的机会反而不能很好的表现一个天才或者一个疯子，即使像达斯汀-霍夫曼 (''雨人'') 和杰弗里-拉什(''Shine'')这样有天赋的演员也很难办到。
罗素克劳用他过人的专注精神，向我们展示了一个几乎完全生活在自己内心世界中的人，他对人物心灵的戏剧化展现处理的旁若无人：一个模糊的微笑挂在纳什的嘴边，演讲时声音轻微而吞吞吐吐，带有南方音韵的口吻（纳什正在西弗吉尼亚长大）。随着罗素克劳的表演，你不会认为这是演员有意为之，反而会认为这是对人物性格的深入吸收后自然生发出来的。
对于怎么把观众带入纳什的内心世界，Howard导演带来了一个就像它本身一样简单而聪明的想法。当问到纳什为什么会相信那些导致他疾病的幻想时，纳什说，“那些想法出现在我头脑中的方式和数学的一样”。比起评论Howard导演编造的巧妙惊喜，我更愿意认为他是找到了一个操作性强的电影的方式来表现人物的内心。（他还找到了一些娱乐的方式来表达约翰纳什的数学方面的见解：让纳什赢得诺贝尔奖的理论就在学生酒吧挑选女友的策略中表现了出来。）
纳什的幻觉一天天变得真实，精神*症不会像它所带来的痛苦那样宣告自己的到来。Howard先生在没有任何预示的情况下，慢慢带领我们进入纳什地狱般的生活中，这个角色的表现似乎至少已经接近现实生活中纳什先生的描述。纳什在他1994年发表的自传中写到，“我开始理性的避免一些幻觉的影响，其中有些幻觉已经成为了我生活环境中的一部分。”
就像现实生活中一样，电影中的纳什对于琐碎的事情没有耐心，更乐于研究“统治力量”。《美丽心灵》中的统治力量是一种熟悉而不令人很反感的伤感的类型。这部电影实在并且也应该被理性的拒绝掉，但是你并不会完全从你的心里排斥它。

A Beautiful Mind is a touching, emotionally charged film detailing the life of a brilliant academic who suffers from schizophrenia. This affliction slowly takes over his mind and we watch as his life crumbles apart around him. He abandons his students, alienates his colleagues and replaces his research with a fruitless and all-consuming obsession. Eventually he is taken into hospital where he is forced, with the help of electric-shock therapy and regular medication, to accept his condition and attempt to repair the shattered fragments of his life.
He succeeds. Of course he succeeds, this is Hollywood and Hollywood likes a happy ending. In this case the happy ending is that, as an old man and after years of struggle, the poor academic is awarded the Nobel Prize. One interesting point though; it's a true story and our hero is none other than John Forbes Nash Jr.
As a young man, John Nash was a mathematical genius. In 1947 he went to Princeton on a Carnegie Scholarship, and after three years had proced a 27-page dissertation for his doctorate in which he greatly expanded the field of Game Theory, transporting it from a position of relative obscurity into one of almost universal relevance.
In the 1920s the father of Game Theory, Hungarian mathematician John von Neumann, had shown that mathematical models could be used to explain the behaviour of players in simple games. His work was limited in scope however, and although interesting, it appeared to be of little practical use.
Nash's dissertation expanded on von Neumann's work, showing how Game Theory could explain complex as well as simple competitive behaviour. It wasn't a comprehensive solution to all game situations, but it did lay the foundations for the huge body of work on Game Theory which has been proced since.
Unfortunately, very little of this comes across in A Beautiful Mind because the director (Ron Howard) seems more interested in making a film about a schizophrenic than a mathematician suffering from schizophrenia. At the start of the film we are shown a Hollywood template of a typically obsessive young academic, introverted, socially inept, dismissive of his colleagues' work. If the notes we see Nash scribbling on his windows were chemical formulae or rhyming couplets rather than mathematical equations, the character would have seemed equally plausible.
This is not to say that Russell Crowe, who plays Nash, does a bad job. Indeed, he succeeds in giving his character a convincing plausibility rarely seen in mainstream cinema these days, and he was certainly a deserving Oscar nominee. It's just that we never see him doing any maths apart from the occasional scribbling on windows.
And when his great breakthrough finally comes, Nash is not poring over his books in the library or gazing fixedly at his glass equivalent of a blackboard, he's in a bar, eyeing up a group of attractive young women. How visually convenient.
But to be fair, this is a dramatisation based on Sylvia Nasar's best-selling book, not a documentary. Its aim is to entertain, not to enlighten, and it does this perfectly well. Russell Crowe proces probably his best performance to date and is equally convincing as both the awkward young genius and the tortured convalescent, struggling to rebuild his marriage and career. Jennifer Connolly (who won the Oscar for Best Supporting Actress) is excellent as Alicia, Nash's long-suffering wife, and there are several strong performances from the supporting cast, most notably Ed Harris as a mysterious character from the military and Paul Bettany as Nash's Princeton roommate.
But Hollywood requires more from its films than a few good performances; it requires drama, action, romance, pathos, excitement. A Beautiful Mind makes a fair attempt to include all of these ingredients and the results obviously satisfied procers and film-goers alike - it won Oscars for Best Film and Best Director. But for those expecting to see a film about mathematics it is unlikely to satisfy. Early in the film, John Nash describes himself as having "two helpings of brain and half a helping of heart". A Beautiful Mind seems the exact opposite.

有时疯子和天才都是一种生命的极致。凭着对数学的强烈兴趣与挚爱，纳什像疯子般进行着他原创性理论研究。他虽然从不去上课，但是他在博弈论和破解密码方面的研究确是意义深远的。他在上普林斯顿大学时就已经患上了精神*症，出现幻想，虚构了一个舍友。他不善交际，但是正是他能耐得住这份寂寞，这份专心与执著，他才能取得这样伟大的成就。他对博弈论具有前瞻性的研究，对当今世界产生重大的影响。当1994年他获得诺贝尔奖，他在普林斯顿的同事和学生纷纷以赠送钢笔的形式对他表示敬佩和尊重时，我感动得流泪了，那正是他多年前所羡慕的，也是他的愿望和梦想，而他为此默默奉献了大半生。在此期间，他的妻子艾丽西亚(Alicia)给了他无尽的包容与爱，始终不离不弃，他也用坚强的意志战胜那难以战胜的精神*症，改变了自己的生活。
