2147. Chapter 2147 2147 Reality is illusory
John and Alicia fell in love, and the strong chemistry overflowed between the eyebrows and eyes, giving John's tense and secret spy life a touch of warmth, which also became the first time since the beginning of the movie that John really integrated into the life of ordinary people, such a warm picture made the corners of Nicholas's mouth can't help but outline a light smile.
Charles is back and he is back in John's life, his sister died in a car accident, so he has to live with his niece Marcy. John happily shared his life with Charles, and he even had the urge to marry Alicia, and after asking Charles' opinion, he decided to take action.
"Alicia, does our relationship guarantee a long-term commitment? I need a little proof, some information that I can rely on. John's knees were not accompanied by any romantic words, but this made Alicia stiff and shy, and her cheeks flushed a little helplessly.
Alicia looked at the nervous eyes in front of her, "Tell me how big the universe is." ”
"Infinity." John didn't hesitate.
"How do you know?" Alicia's rhetorical question got John thinking.
"Because that's what all the information indicates."
"But has it been confirmed?"
"Nope."
"Did anyone see that?"
"Nope."
"So how can you be sure?"
Alicia's question made John pause, and he couldn't help but hesitate, "I don't know, I just believe." ”
Alicia's rosy lips slightly curved, "I think it's the same as love." John was speechless, he could only look at Alicia nervously, trying to say something more, but found that his mouth was so dry that he couldn't even squeeze out a word, which made Alicia chuckle, "Actually, the part you don't know is whether I want to marry you or not." ”
The smile on John's lips rose like this, and he looked at Alicia intently and nodded.
They got married.
"Oh", the audience let out a soft cry of envy, and many people sitting around Hugo and Charlize cast their eyes. The envious gaze couldn't be more obvious, making both Hugo and Charlize a little overwhelmed.
John's job became more and more dangerous, not only were people following him, but even someone chasing him, and there was a shootout on the street, William Paccher's timely appearance saved him, but the shootout gradually got out of control, and William even asked John to pick up a pistol and shoot the other party, which was completely unacceptable to John. The gunshots frightened John, the roar in his ears completely destroyed his peace and stability, and even watched the lives of his pursuers disappear before his eyes, and the fear made John lose his soul.
Alicia notices that something is wrong with John, she tries to communicate with John, but John finds that he can't, and he locks himself in his study, isolating his world from Alicia's world, which fills Alicia with frustration.
John began to become more and more sensitive, and whenever he saw a black suit or a black top hat, John would be terrified, and he would suspect that he had been sent by the Soviet Union. John became more and more worried, because Alicia was pregnant, and the family bonds made John's fear grow bigger and bigger, and he wanted to quit, he didn't want to continue like this. William, however, disagreed, threatening that if John withdrew, he would betray John and sell John's work for them to the Soviet Union.
Fearing Alicia's fear drove John completely insane, he stayed up all night, closely watching every move outside, even Alicia's action of turning on the lights in the middle of the night could make John lose control, he yelled at Alicia angrily, and even forced Alicia to leave here and take refuge with her sister, muttering and worrying all the time. Life has become fragmented.
Looking at John like this, Alicia dialed the phone.
At the National Symposium on Mathematics at Harvard University, John will give a speech on stage, before taking the stage, he saw Charles and Marcy who came to support him, which made John's tense heartstrings relax a little, looking at Charles in front of him, John decided to ask his most trusted friend for help, and he decided to have a further conversation with Charles after the speech.
However, halfway through the speech, John noticed that something was wrong, he was surrounded by a group of people who looked like agents, which made John start to run wildly, trying to escape the round-up like crazy, but he didn't escape too far, he was still firmly surrounded, he completely lost control, and even punched the man who called himself "Dr. Lawson", but he was still subdued.
John frantically cried out for help, struggling as hard as a fish from water to land. He knew that they were Soviets, he was betrayed, and the Soviets came to the door. He saw Charles and began to call for help, but Charles just stood aside with Marcy in his arms, detached and unfamiliar, and retreated step by step in horror.
Rosen injected John with an anesthetic and took him away.
By the time John came to his senses again, the world was starting to look different, and everything was out of control. Rosen tells him that they are in MacArthur Mental Hospital, and that he was actually betrayed by Charles, which makes John completely lose his mind.
Rosen tells Alicia that John is schizophrenic, that Charles Herman doesn't exist at all, and that John didn't have a roommate at all during college. This caused Alicia to collapse completely, as if the whole world had been turned upside down - Charles, whom she had known from John, was a fake, and John was in charge. The matter of the government work is also false, and the so-called William Pacher is also false...... John is trapped in the chaos between reality and fantasy, unable to extricate himself.
Alicia arrives at the Wheeler Institute and begins to learn about John's work, only to discover that John's so-called "work" does not exist at all, everything is made up by him, there is no William Patcher, there is no secret studio, there is no Soviet spies there......
Nicholas was completely shocked, everything seemed so normal in the first hour of the movie, but now he found out that the truth was that everything was just John Nash's fantasy, and the powerful impact almost made Nicholas feel that he had a delusion, and that panic and uneasiness instantly drained the temperature of his heart. What's even more terrifying is that he watched Alicia tell John all the truth, and he watched the world fall apart and shatter in John's eyes, and the shock almost stopped his brain completely.
It's like Truman Burbank, when he learns that everything he has is just a huge lie, the storm almost destroys him and makes him completely lose his mind. However, "Truman's world" is a comedy, so Hugo uses a more exaggerated and vivid way to interpret it, but at this time, looking at John Nash in front of him, the grandeur and grandeur of "the whole life is crumbling little by little", as if the light of the whole world has been extinguished, and all languages are eclipsed.
watched John completely uncontrollably slit his left hand just to find the implant chip, and then the last bit of light in his eyes was snuffed out; As he watched John lie on a hospital bed like a soulless puppet doll, being treated with medication, the fear and helplessness in his eyes flickering in tears, as if his soul was dissipating little by little......
Nicholas could hardly bear to look any further, the cruelty and gore that strangled a soul with his own hands spread in an invisible way, making people tremble slightly.
For the first time, Nicholas was able to look at the schizophrenic head-on, not as a "madman", but as a "living person". He didn't know how to explain it, he didn't know how to refute the so-called drug treatment, but he knew that it was too cruel, it was not a treatment, it was a murder - a legitimate murder in the name of treatment, and the cold and cruel white environment made the cold in the depths of his heart. However, when Nicholas was asked to suggest another solution, he could not find a way out.
This contradiction and entanglement made Nicholas suffer as if a hedgehog had been placed on his chair.
A year later, Alicia and John returned to the vicinity of Princeton University, and their lives seemed to have returned to peace, and their child had been born. But Alicia had to support the family on her own, and under the pressure, her life began to fall apart.
"I often think, sometimes I feel that this is an obligation, sometimes I feel guilty for wanting to leave him, sometimes I am even angry with John, at God......" The bitterness and inconsistency of Alicia's words spread gently on the tip of her tongue, she was so honest, but no one could blame her, "but when I looked at him and forced myself to see him as the man I had chosen to marry, gradually he became that man, the man I loved dearly, and I became the one who loved him dearly, It doesn't happen very often, but it ...... But it's enough. ”
Alicia's eyes were covered with a layer of water and mist, and the strength in the midst of fragility shone in the sun.
When John reappears in front of the camera, he looks so lonely, so lonely, so helpless, sitting on the porch with his shoulders hunched, with a scruffy beard, a self-deprecating smile on his face, and his eyes are extremely normal, but dull. Everyone turned away from John, refusing to come into contact with a madman, as if they were afraid of being infected with some unknown virus.
"I was trying to solve the Riemann hypothesis, and I thought that if there was a breakthrough discovery, they would have to reinstate me. It's a pity that those drugs have made my work extremely difficult, and it is difficult to see...... It's answered. The man in front of him was not John Nash, he was just a shell, lost his soul, as if all the light had disappeared, just staring around blankly, but at a loss.
