In the first reviews, The Hollywood Reporter focused on Hugo's stellar performance.

"John Nash is a great challenge for any actor, and just having to look at the life of this character is a sign that this is going to be a role that will hopefully show what he can do. Genius or madman, this is always the most suitable role for an actor, from 'Mozart' to 'The Silence of the Lambs', from 'The Silence of the Lambs' to 'Taxi Driver', from 'Schindler's List' to 'The Seven Deadly Sins'...... In these classic masterpieces, we can always see the actor in the role of genius or madman, vividly showing his acting talent and talent.

John Nash is both a genius and a madman.

So, when this story came into view, everyone knew that it was going to be a big acting carnival. However, people ignore one thing, when there are too many opportunities to sell, it is easy to lose the rhythm, the performance is injected too much energy or interpreted too hard, and the result is that the movie becomes a stage play, and the exaggerated effect is a big disappointment.

A genius and a madman, how to accurately grasp the rhythm and proportion, this is a difficult challenge for any actor. Even Dustin Hoffman in 'Rain Man' and even Jeffrey Rush in 'Shining Grace', they have a hard time being accurate. But Hugo Lancaster did.

Hugo rejects every opportunity to overplay the character, he shows a strong and precise control, with his extraordinary concentration, showing us a man who lives almost entirely in his own inner world, and he handles the dramatic display of the character's psychology perfectly: a vague smile on his lips, sometimes restrained and awkward hand movements, a erratic voice in his speech, a vague tone with a southern accent, a flickering but bright and focused gaze, and a clumsy and stumbling foot...... With Hugo's performance, you will not think that this is intentional by the actor, and you will not feel the power of acting or carving at all, but you will think that it is a natural emanation after the deep absorption of the character's personality.

The most memorable scene is when John Nash learns the truth, he collapses in disbelief and then cuts his left hand with his fingernail in an attempt to find the implant inside, only to fail. When he raised his head, the shock, despair, astonishment, and collapse in his pupils shook his heart!

Eyes, expressions, gestures, gestures, speaking, walking...... Even the action of bowing his head can feel the shock that penetrates people's hearts, and Hugo's understanding and interpretation of the role is so perfect that any language of praise loses its color. Needless to say, Hugo gave the best performance of his career – even after he had already delivered a number of impressive performances.

If it weren't for the fact that Hugo had just relied on 'Truman's World' to get his second Oscar for Best Actor in March this year and made history again, we could almost have claimed that there would be no suspense in the next Oscar for Best Actor. But even so, the almost history-making performance in 'A Beautiful Mind' gave Hugo the opportunity to continue to make history at the Oscars, which put Hugo on the height of Marlon Brando, Jack Nicholson, and Jack Lemmon and was half a body ahead.

Driven by Hugo's wonderful performance, Charlize Theron gave an award-winning performance for the third consecutive year, Alicia's temperament from cunning and agile to heavy and difficult, and then to perseverance and maturity, the whole transformation process was interpreted by Charlize delicately and movingly, especially the chemistry between her and Hugo throughout, which was called the key to the success of the whole movie.

William Paccher, played by Leonardo DiCaprio, saw the young actor's acting spirituality again after a long absence, calm and domineering, intricate and cunning, strong and insidious, and clever tongue, after breaking away from the acting crutches, Leonardo showed the charming charm of the performance, and brought the character to a new level with the subtle changes in his eyes.

and Charles as Heath Ledger, Rosen as Christopher Plummer, Josh Lucas as Josh. Lucas) as Hansen...... All of them gave a performance that could not be ignored and made the whole movie complete. This is undoubtedly a wonderful work, and the outstanding performances of the cast and actress make the work one of the classics. ”

The Hollywood Reporter's point of view is undoubtedly very original, and they hailed this work as the pinnacle of Hugo's work, which is really surprising to many people - everyone knows that Hugo has already given many wonderful performances before this, otherwise he would not have surpassed Tom Hanks and other two-time Golden Man winners, and Jack Nicholson as the actor with the most Oscar acting trophies at present.

As the most authoritative professional magazine on the West Coast, the Hollywood Reporter has a very important opinion, and they once again gave a perfect score of 100 points, which undoubtedly pushed the praise of "A Beautiful Mind" to a whole new peak.

In fact, in addition to the Los Angeles Times, The New Yorker, and The Hollywood Reporter, there are two other media outlets that give a perfect score of 100: the Chicago Sun-Times and the Rolling Stones.

The Chicago Sun-Times, where Roger Ebert works, not only gave a score of 100, but also gave a perfect score of four stars, "Hugo Lancaster pushes the character's emotions to the extreme with one look after another, and constructs the character's personality with one behavioral detail after another." He awakened the vitality of the characters and once again brought a breath-taking performance, so that the whole viewing process overlapped with the ups and downs of the characters. ”

The perfect score of "Rolling Stone" surprised everyone, and this magazine, which has never been too cold to Hugo, did not skimp on its praise this time, "Inspirational emotions and cold-blooded and merciless spectators are surging, this is a fairytale love story, conveying courage that goes deep into the bone marrow!" ”

Five perfect scores, undoubtedly brought the praise of "A Beautiful Mind" to its peak, and what is even more incredible is that several media outlets believe that this work can be called Hugo's pinnacle, which is really a situation that no one expected, especially after Hugo has just won his second Oscar.

As can be seen from Roger Ebert's film reviews, he gave 100 points to Hugo's performance.

In addition, USA Today gave it a score of 88, "It's an inspiring film that perfectly encapsulates a very difficult subject matter -- better than 'shiny style,' and perhaps the most influential of all the films that have triumphed over the demons." ”

The Daily News rated it 95 points, "It's a shame that Howard stuck to the rules in the last third of the film, using old-fashioned structure and tear-jerking techniques to ruin a real and chewy story that is easy to understand." But until then, you'll be glued in. ”

It can be seen that these works, which were once inseparable from Hugo, have praised the film, even far beyond expectations. Only the New York Post gave it a score of sixty-five, "There's always more praise and admiration for 'A Beautiful Mind' than you might guess, but none of it exceeds what its creators believe, and when the film does succeed, people do it, even though it may not be good on its own." ”

The New York Post's score was the lowest of the first reviews, and beyond that, there was a lot of applause.

The Wall Street Journal gave it a score of ninety-three, "Ron Howard and Hugo Lancaster give the original book a new lease of life and add a touch of Hollywood-esque sadness, but there is no doubt that Lancaster's brilliant performances brighten up the entire production." ”

The Chicago Tribune once again gave an interesting comment behind the 88-point evaluation, "For an actor who has just won the Oscar with 'Truman's World' and is the third in five years, 'A Beautiful Mind' is undoubtedly the most severe, deepest, and most difficult challenge, he doesn't need to prove his strength, but he needs to prove that he deserves the award." There is no doubt that he did, and far exceeded expectations, and he almost blew the test out of the test and delivered the pinnacle of his career, which is beyond words! ”

At the end of the review, the Chicago Tribune quipped, "Maybe not the pinnacle — because we all know that the best work is always the next one." ”

I have to say that the ridicule of the "Chicago Tribune" is always the best spice for people after dinner.

In the first batch of comments on "A Beautiful Mind", 33 media gathered, among which the voice of praise occupied an absolute advantage, and finally the comprehensive evaluation of the media reached an excellent score of 89, far surpassing the recent word-of-mouth work "The Sixth Sense of the Supernatural", which was born at the end of the year with an absolutely strong attitude.

However, even such a good result was taken for granted to Hugo – and some even thought it was lower than expected. Eighty-nine points? Lower than expected? I have to say that now people's ultra-high standards for Hugo have reached the level of perversion. But what's even more terrifying is that even so, Hugo is still able to surprise people again every time!

Although "A Beautiful Mind" was only screened in 11 theaters in a low-key manner, and did not even carry out much publicity, it can be seen from as many as 33 film reviews in the first batch that Hugo's works are still the object of everyone's attention. This is true for the media, and so is for the audience, even if the film is only screened, but people still have a super enthusiasm for the work, and they have walked into the cinema over the weekend to watch the work, and the overall momentum is compared to the "Stuart" that was released in 2,900 theaters this week. Little)" is no slouch.

This makes everyone naturally look towards the box office of the single museum, is it possible that Hugo is about to break the record again?
