The movie begins with John Nash attending Princeton University.

John's withdrawn, eccentric, uneasy dealings with people, and obsessed with the study of mathematics, confronted his most formidable rival, Martin Hansen, on the first day of the freshman meetup, and mocked Martin mercilessly, both of whom were famous Carnegie Fellowship winners, who had been awarded only one person in previous years, but this year they were awarded by two people, and the two men would compete together for a research spot at the Wheeler Institute.

While all the freshmen were enjoying the joy of entering the school, John fled back to the dormitory, hiding in the corner with envious eyes. It was then that John's roommate, Charles Herman, appeared as the self-prodigal "prodigal son" and was the polar opposite of John, bohemian and unruly, which almost left John at a loss.

However, Charles's initiative and strength led John out of his "comfort zone" step by step, and the two independent individuals who seemed to be like the North and South Poles unexpectedly became friends.

Just as Martin was enjoying the thrill of "winning" over his classmates; Just as Martin and the rest of his classmates were keen to prove those existing theories and show off their talents...... John was like a paranoid patient, feverishly trying to find his own direction of research, trying to find a completely new theory, seeking a breakthrough in a field that had not yet been proven. He would study the pattern of the rugby players, the scale of the pigeons scrambling for crumbs, the pattern of a woman chasing a robber who snatched her purse...... In the eyes of others, John seemed like a "psychopath", sneering at him every day, thinking that he was just a complete loser and a complete lunatic.

Although John was never willing to admit defeat, in front of Charles, John confessed that Martin's repeated successes had also made him confused, even frightened, because he couldn't even think of a doctoral dissertation topic. In fact, John has been trying to study game theory in the hope of making a breakthrough.

But John was trapped in his own "original theory", and even graduation became a problem. John was like a beast trapped in a cage, and he even hurt himself, accidentally hitting the window knob, and he was dripping with blood. Charles tried to help John, but John seemed to be crazy and began to scuffle with Charles, and at the extreme moment of losing his mind, Charles pulled out the table that John had placed by the window and slammed it on the ground, and both of them laughed heartily.

John is a joke in the whole mathematics department, Martin and others enjoy beer every day, enjoy the pleasure of chasing women, but John is trapped in his own original theory, at a loss, Martin They always like to play tricks on John, encouraging John to chase those top beauties in the bar, and then enjoy the moment when John makes a fool of himself in front of the beauties, but he doesn't want to, John has a flash of inspiration, and suddenly understands the truth of game theory!

There are five beauties in the bar, among which the blonde beauty is undoubtedly the target of everyone, and the blonde beauty also enjoys the joy of everyone's competition. There were four people in Martin's group, plus John, a total of five people, and they were matched with five beautiful women, so they all encouraged John to go and talk to the blonde beauty, and once again teased John. No, it inspired John.

"If everybody goes after the blonde beauty, they will all be wiped out, no one will get her, and then we go to her girlfriends, and they will definitely reject us, because no one wants to be a second choice. But if no one is chasing the blonde, we will neither violate each other nor humiliate the other girls, and only then will everyone win, and only then can everyone have it. Bed opportunities. ”

According to Adam Smith's theory, the best results require everyone on the team to do their part. But John thinks it's incomplete, because the best outcome requires everyone on the team to do something good for themselves and the group.

This is game theory!

But no one believed John, and every one of them thought it was just the most typical John - he was crazy again, but John exclaimed, "Game theory, this is game theory, Adam Smith, he was wrong!" ”

The fanatical John returned to his dorm room, and after winter, spring, and summer, John wrote his thesis on game theory! The paper, which was only twenty-seven pages long, was a sensation because it overturned the foundation of economic theory for 150 years since Adam Smith, and it also made John famous and went straight to the Wheeler Laboratory, where he rose to the top overnight!

Martin, who had always been sneering at John, finally had to bow his proud head.

Nicholas was very attentive in the process of watching, especially the experience of the "sixth sense" not long ago, which made him 100% engaged tonight. In the first twenty-five minutes of the film, he can clearly feel Hugo's control of the script, telling the story with the advent of game theory as the main line, and the simple and clear structure outlines John's ascent from the trough to the peak in the most concise language, not only bringing out a small climax, but also completely shaping the character of John Nash.

On the one hand, Hugo's control of the script is extraordinary, controlling the characters within a certain range in just 25 minutes, not only does not tell the story as a running account, but also creates a fascinating effect in a small format; On the one hand, Hugo's performance almost creates the characters in a gesture, nervous, sensitive, simple, focused, vulnerable, withdrawn, kind, even the posture of walking, the rhythm of speaking and the appearance of smiling, you can feel that delicate and real power.

Although it is a biographical film, the opening chapter of "A Beautiful Mind" is not only not cold at all, but also stunning. After all, album movies are the most taboo accounts. On the contrary, the opening chapter of "A Beautiful Mind" surpasses "Death Row Walk" and even "Schindler's List", which makes people want to continue reading.

Attention returns to the movie, and five years later, John Nash has become the backbone of the Wheeler Laboratory, and he is invited to the Pentagon to help the military decipher the code intercepted from Moscow. Using his sensitivity to numbers, John succeeded in cracking the code—these were latitudes and longitudes that marked the sequence of routes into the U.S. border.

The general was so impressed by John's performance that he accidentally noticed that someone on the second floor was paying attention to him, and asked, "Who's the big boss?" ”

The general did not understand what John meant, but replied, "You have done a great service to the country." Then he let the soldiers send him out, not wanting to divulge any information about the Soviet Union, but just letting him go.

This is John's second trip to the Pentagon in four years, but he's always been just a codebreaker. In the newspapers, you can always see the news that the Soviet military reserves are getting stronger and stronger, and the European continent is absorbed. John wanted to help, but there was no way - he had to do a pressure test for the dam.

Since Princeton University provided the research rooms and related equipment, John was required to travel to Princeton University to teach in exchange. John was very repulsed by this, but he had to compromise and go in frustration. But to John's surprise, the lesson was not as difficult as he had imagined, as he met Alicia, a bright and sharp, wise and stubborn student.

When Charlize and Hugo appeared on the big screen at the same time, the movie theater burst into laughter, and even quite a few people began to whistle. Most of these people are Hugo's acquaintances, so they didn't give Hugo face, and coaxed mercilessly, making Hugo and Charlize really cry and laugh.

At the end of the lesson, William Pacher showed up—the man he had seen earlier at the Pentagon, who identified himself as the "Big Boss" and showed John his badge, a member of the Department of Defense. As soon as Willian came out, the scene was lively again - this time because of Leonardo DiCaprio.

William was soon convinced that the atomic bomb project was completed under his supervision, and the two atomic bombs dropped on Japan were carried out by William. This impressed John.

William took John to an underground secret research room next to the Wheeler Institute, where countless staff members were trying to intercept and decipher messages from the Soviet Union. William said that the Soviet Union was now trying to make a light atomic bomb, which reminded John of the message he had deciphered at the Pentagon not long ago, and that William asked John to help him decipher the information released by the Soviet-planted spies in the United States -- who used newspapers and magazines to publish encrypted messages -- to stop all this before disaster struck.

John agreed to William's request, and they implanted a diode in John's left hand with a password that would be changed periodically, which was the one that allowed John to enter the trust point. Thus, John officially became a "spy".

In the midst of her busy daily work, Alicia took the initiative to come to the door, because John was absent from today's lecture, and Alicia solved the problem that John left last week, which was completely unexpected by John. However, Alicia's solution was excellent, but the answer was wrong - much to the surprise of the confident Alicia.

The accident is not over, Alicia takes the initiative to invite John to dinner with him, which really makes John overwhelmed, and even becomes too nervous to become restrained. But John finally nodded yes and let her leave her address to pick her up for dinner on Friday.

On the first date, John took Alicia to a private banquet hosted by the governor, and Alicia was dressed up like a fairy, beautiful and incomprehensible.
