The movie ended, almost for the first time, the warm applause of "pop pop" surged again, this time it was no longer the applause of the Nobel Prize ceremony in the movie, but the applause of all the audience in the entire movie theater, the thunderous sound continued to echo in the audience, and it could not be calmed down for a long time.

This is an internal test screening, not a premiere, not a point screening, just an internal test screening, and the people present are real professionals, they only need to put forward their own opinions, and they don't need to praise them with polite applause. But at this time, the surging applause was endless, and the similar touching and approval could be seen on almost everyone's face, and the excited expression shone in the dim subtitle lights of the big screen.

Hugo was the first to stand up, but found that Charlize was still sitting in place, motionless, he couldn't help bending down and looked down at Charlize, and then found that Charlize was in tears at this time, which startled Hugo, he quickly squatted down, let his eyes be level with Charlize, and said, "What's wrong?" ”

Charlize saw Hugo's worried expression, but she burst out laughing, tears and snot made her look so embarrassed, and then she shook her head, "No, I just found out how lucky I am to have you." These words made Hugo stunned, Charlize saw Hugo's stunned expression, the smile on the corner of his mouth completely bloomed, and then lowered his head and imprinted a deep kiss on Hugo's lips.

Only when you actually watch "A Beautiful Mind" in the cinema can you know how good Hugo's performance is, and he interprets almost every move of John Nash into the soul, the withdrawn and eccentric mathematical genius, the schizophrenic painful patient, the lonely and helpless soul crying for help...... Coming through the big screen.

Charlize once thought that "Death Row Walk" should be the pinnacle of Hugo's performance, and although the later "L.A. Confidential" and "Truman's World" are not inferior, they are still not as complete as "Death Row Walk" due to the relationship between the characters and the theme. But today, Charlize knows that Hugo has once again achieved self-transcendence, and in the work "A Beautiful Mind", the charm of the performance and the charm of the role have been brought into full play.

Charlize is glad that she did not stop Hugo during the filming of the movie, but accompanied him all the way, otherwise, she would have missed the moment when this man shines. At this moment, Charlize is so happy, unprecedentedly happy, happiness is slowly overflowing.

The temperature on Hugo's lips slowly left, and when he opened his eyes, he saw Charlize's brilliant eyes, and the curvature of his mouth rose with it, and he raised his right hand and gently wiped the tears on Charlize's cheeks with the tip of his thumb, "You don't want to be seen by everyone, although I don't mind." The happy atmosphere was broken in an instant, and Charlize raised his hand and punched Hugo in the chest, gritting his teeth and hating.

The lights of the cinema slowly lit up, revealing a hazy halo that completely dispelled the darkness. Hugo helped Charlize to his feet, and the two of them were firmly surrounded by warm applause from all sides, and those hot and happy eyes made the atmosphere of the entire cinema continue to rise.

Nicholas walked up, clapping in his hands, leaned into Hugo's ear and said, "Are you sure this isn't a sequel to 'Before Sunrise'?" This joke made Hugo laugh.

"A Beautiful Mind" is technically a far cry from John Nash's biography, which is more like a romance movie, and the entire storyline revolves around how John overcomes schizophrenia, and John and Alicia's love affair is carried out throughout, becoming the real theme of the film.

This also makes the strong chemistry between Hugo and Charlize come into full play, and even a simple eye exchange makes people's blood boil.

Soon after, the Los Angeles Times wrote a film review under the headline "Beauty that accompanies each other to the end of their lives."

"'The Sixth Sense' tells a touching story about the relationship between mother and son, while 'Beautiful Mind' tells a heart-wrenching story. Soft. Sorry. The love story of compassion is the center, telling a great life!

John Nash, the originator of game theory, revolutionized the foundations and architecture of modern economic theory and was the winner of the 1994 Nobel Prize in Economics. It was a great life, he almost reached the highest point of human society, and his name was deeply engraved in the annals of history, eternal and immortal. Just like Adam Smith.

But it is not an easy task to tell the story of this great life, because the great 'game theory' is only one of John's doctoral dissertations, which is only twenty-seven pages. It's too difficult to make a movie like this. Now, Hugo has done it.

The film uses less than one-third of the length, delicate, concise but passionate to tell the birth of game theory, impassioned and excited, but in just a few words, the character of John Nash was created, which makes people sigh Hugo Lancaster's skillful control of the script; What's even more amazing is that the remaining two-thirds, the movie tells us about John Nash's wonderful but twisted life, and also reveals the most profound and important theme of the movie: schizophrenia.

Like many paranoid scientists, John has his own quirks and persistences, as well as his own pursuits and fears, and he always lives in his own world, refusing to communicate with the outside world - or he doesn't know how to communicate, so he unfortunately suffers from schizophrenia.

For many, schizophrenia is synonymous with neuropathy, with madness.

This was especially true in the fifties and sixties of John's life, when almost everyone cast strange glances at him, treating him as a madman, treating him as an anomaly, looking him up and down and laughing at him with repulsive and fearful eyes, as if his difference was the biggest joke in life, and became the spice of their daily lives. Even though he was a genius, he had a level of intelligence and sagacity in the field of mathematics that ordinary people could not match; Even if he came up with game theory, he challenged the economic theories of the last hundred and fifty years; Even though he became a member of the top research institutes and lived a life that people would envy...... But he's still an anomaly, and he can't find a presence anywhere.

In fact, not only John, but in real life, countless people who suffer from schizophrenia - and even any mental and psychological illness - will be considered insane. A simple word defines this group of people, even more aggressive than women, blacks, homosexuals, etc., forcing them into a corner where there is no way out, and judging them with their eyes, expressions, and words.

People are always afraid of the unknown, because they don't know how to deal with it, because they don't know what impact it will have, so they always habitually reject it, or even encircle and eliminate it. No one knows how to treat schizophrenia - at least under the current medical conditions, there is still no drug that can 'cure' the disease, and it can only be guided slowly by a psychiatrist, so people always subconsciously avoid, reject, and resist as if it were an infectious disease, as if it were an incurable disease, as if they could be above each other, despising, ridiculing, and teasing each other.

However, the film uses delicate brushstrokes to tell us about the pain and struggle hidden behind schizophrenia - they are actually no different from us, just a sick ordinary person, and this disease has left them tormented, almost overwhelmed, and can only watch life fall apart, but unable to do anything.

No one can understand their pain, no one can help their condition, the simple and crude insulin injection is just killing their soul and spirit, like 'flying over the madhouse', suppressing the nature in his mind in the most direct and cruel way - maybe today is a 'disease', then tomorrow's 'yearning for freedom' is also considered a disease, so should it also be stifled? So, will John Nash be another McMurphy?

Luckily, John had Alicia by his side.

This is not a typical John Nash biography, Hugo polished and even adapted the story, and does not present John's life realistically, except for Alicia, the other characters are fictional; But this is a typical biography of a schizophrenic, and Hugo uses his words to tell a true and moving story.

Alicia and John fell in love, in the face of John's illness, she wavered, regretted, angry, and even collapsed, she also thought about leaving, the weight of life made her want to give up several times, but the power of love made her choose to stay, standing by John's side from beginning to end, becoming his most important partner.

This is this love, a real and profound love, like a light in the night, helping John slowly rub and stagger forward in the darkness, and get out of the predicament little by little. What John needs has never been a 'pill', but trust, a trust that has no conditions, no suspicion of betrayal, no strange eyes, and this trust from love has become the brightest sunshine in that chaotic and ambiguous world, illuminating his whole world.

Is this a true story? No, reality is always crueler than movies, even biographies. In real life, Alicia chose to divorce John, just sticking to his side, as a friend, the movie just tells a fairy tale that is too beautiful to be true.

But it is this fairy tale that tells us a truth: it is not only medicine that can heal, but also emotion and trust. Alicia became John's companion on the Nobel stage, and she never gave up, which is beautiful and moving.

Schizophrenia, not a madman, just a disease, that ray of sunshine will be a guide in the darkness. ”
