I seldom watch TV on my own initiative, but I accidentally watched an American movie A Beautiful Mind last night. It tells the legendary story of the talented Professor john nash. The eccentric Nash refused to associate with his classmates and people around him, but devoted all his energy to mathematical research. Although the ridicule and bullying of his classmates and the disappointment of his tutor made him feel extremely painful and inferior, he did not give up his ideal and studied mathematics tirelessly.
He often said, "Be sure to make some achievements!" However, due to too deep research and poor emotional world, I finally suffered from schizophrenia for various reasons. Faced with this challenge that destroyed many people, Nash fought tenaciously with the help of his beloved wife Alicia. After hard work, he finally overcame this misfortune and won the Nobel Prize in Economics with 1994.
There is a thin line between genius and madman.
The plot development in the film is the same as everyone's life. Whether it's the characters inside or us outside, we don't know what is true and what is false if we don't follow it all the way. Everything developed so naturally that we didn't deceive the audience at all until the truth came out. In the two-hour movie, I just suffered from mental illness with the protagonist Nash. I feel that everything is so normal and natural, and I didn't find any problems in the process.
When Professor Naber suddenly appeared a psychiatrist Rosen and his assistant in a speech, Naber gave up the speech and fled in despair. Then Dr. Rosen told Nash that he was paranoid and forced him to get in the car. I didn't believe it. I thought Dr. Rosen was a Soviet, and Nash was arrested by him and might be tortured. The mental hospital is actually a cover for a Soviet military base in the United States. Because I think Nash is considered to be mentally ill because he works underground, and he is addicted to cracking passwords for the safety of the country and the people, and that roommate, Charles, is indeed the one who betrayed him. I didn't believe Nash was really ill until his wife found all the unopened so-called encrypted emails that Nash put in his mailbox in the abandoned building, and Nash dug his arm to try to find the lead pipe implanted in it.
But why is Nash's imagination so real? Why are our thoughts involuntarily attracted to him? Perhaps because Nash is a genius, he has a very meticulous thinking and a mind that can win the Nobel Prize, so even an illusion is very real to imagine through a genius's brain.
But he is lonely, afraid of failure and eager for recognition, support and encouragement, so he imagines his roommate Charles, who is Nash's loner and eager to share his inner thoughts with others. During the Cold War between the United States and the Soviet Union, Nash successfully cracked the enemy's password and made contributions to national defense. From then on, he longed for success and hoped to serve the motherland, so he imagined a national defense official-William Cheele. In order to complete the task given to him by William, he devoted himself to cracking the code.
Second, the dedication of love.
"I let you feel what is true, it is true ... maybe the problem is not here (head), maybe the problem can be solved here (heart)."
Alicia witnessed Nash's illness with her own eyes, from her fear when she saw Nash digging her arm in a mental hospital, trying to find the chip implanted in it, to her pregnancy, running around Nash's office looking for all the so-called unopened encrypted emails that Nash put in the mailbox of an abandoned building. As a wife, she finally believed that Nash was delusional, but what she did was to be together.
Until Nash and his wife had their own children. One rainy night, Alicia was going out, and Nash offered to help the child bathe. Alicia is very happy. But when she went out, she found Nash's secret cabin. Knowing that Nash was ill again, she ran back and found the child lying in the bathtub, and the water was about to overflow ... When Dr. Rosen asked to take Nash away again, Alicia made a decision again.
Let you feel what is real, it is real ... Maybe the problem is not here (head), maybe the problem can be solved here (heart). This is a few words that Alicia Lardy gently lowered her head and held Nash's hand when Nash's illness was repeated and even desperate and guilty. No vows of eternal love, no persistence, no Qiong Yao-style bitterness, no continental drama's monologue, a few simple words really touched me! I think if Alicia didn't insist on love, there would be no later Nash.
Third, the feedback of love.
"Finally, the most important discovery in my life is that only in the equation of love can I find any logical reason. I can stand here tonight because of you, and you are my reason for existence. You are all to me. "
Between normal and hallucination, Nash is in doubt, Nash is insisting! 30 years has climbed Nash's forehead, true or false, right or wrong, as if it doesn't matter anymore! As Nash said, "I still have hallucinations. They never disappeared, but I chose not to pay attention. "
Finally, one day, Nash came to the professor's restaurant where he had only been once. The last time he arrived at MIT, he saw an old professor sitting in the dining room, and people around him came over and put his pen on his dining table. The professor told him that this was an affirmation of the old professor's achievements and a hot honor here. This time, when he sat down with some hesitation, the first scholar respectfully held the pen representing the respect for the Nobel Prize winner in front of him to congratulate him, followed by the second and third place ... Nash did not shed excited tears, but my eyes in front of the screen were wet.
1994 At the Nobel Prize ceremony in Stockholm, Sweden, Nash looked at Alicia, his wife with gray temples, and said, "I always believed in those numbers, equations and formulas, but after I pursued them all my life, I asked myself, what is the real logic? Who decides the logical reason? My pursuit made me experience physics, philosophy and illusion. In the end, the most important discovery in my life is that only in the equation of love can I find any logical reason. I can stand here tonight because of you. You are the reason for my existence. You are all to me. Thank you! "
Looking at the back of two people hugging each other on the screen, I can't calm down for a long time. It turns out that only the beauty of thought is not the real beauty of human nature. Only a good mood can make thoughts melt into the soul, which is the real beauty. As the saying goes, "Great love has no boundaries", and the journey of life will be complete because of the companionship of love.
The film A Beautiful Mind is only one step away from mental illness. When you have excellent advantages, you should prevent negative problems. Don't look at people suffering from various diseases, especially mental illness, learn to understand and tolerate others and cultivate sunny thinking. In particular, professionals engaged in psychological counseling should have a lofty sense of mission and responsibility. If you advance, you will help the world, and if you retreat, you will be good at hiding.
This is the first thing that came to my mind after watching the movie A Beautiful Mind.
A Beautiful Mind is a biography of Professor john nash, or a story of a real genius. Yes, john nash is a 65,438+0,000% genius. He received his doctorate at the age of 27 and became a professor of mathematics at Princeton University at the age of 30. The equilibrium theory (including non-cooperative game theory) put forward in his doctoral thesis has been widely used in the economic field, creating the theoretical basis of global trade. The basic principles of game theory have also been applied to chemistry and biology. Unfortunately, with his success, a kind of schizophrenia followed. He is a strong man in his career, but he is a weak man in real life. He is unsociable and is often insulted and humiliated when talking about his girlfriend. What is more serious is that there are obstacles in thinking and feeling, the body has the feeling of being implanted with foreign bodies, and hallucinations, auditory hallucinations and fantasies have appeared in life. When I first saw these summaries, I had no confidence to read them. Such a story is either touching or sensational, but to be honest, it is a bit bland. When you catch many similar movies, such as a ship in Wang Yang and a ship in Canon, you can basically guess the ending when you see the beginning, but you don't feel anything except being moved. I guess the plot is like this: Nash suffered from schizophrenia because of the complicated work of deciphering codes, but his wife and friends stood by him and helped him fight the disease. Finally, he got better and won the Nobel Prize for teaching at school, with a happy ending. But this is not the case.
Nash may be unlucky, but at the same time he is also lucky! The conscientious doctor didn't give up on him, the beloved wife didn't give up on him, the professors and students in the university didn't give up on him, and the whole society didn't give up on him!
He is lucky in love! When he suffered from mental illness, but it was not very serious, the beautiful girl Alicia accepted and fell in love with Nash out of her love for beauty and heroes. When Nash's illness threatened his life, she sent her children back to her parents' home. She never abandoned her. She understands her husband's fear of not going to a mental hospital for treatment, keeps her husband by her side, gives meticulous care and care during her rest at home, and supports a family to tide over the difficulties under great mental pressure. This is another ode to saving life and health with love, and it is the most vivid interpretation of a beautiful mind. To this end, the actress who plays his wife has one of the four Oscar awards in this film: Best Supporting Actress Award.
When Nash was often guided by hallucinations and gave lectures at his own school, Princeton University, without self-study, colleagues at the university gave a mental patient considerable tolerance and understanding, and cooperated with Nash to find himself again. Behind the film, his colleagues put their Parker pens in front of Nash's desk in a teahouse, which is the most honorable respect for a scientific scientist and the warmest comfort for a mental patient. This should also be a beautiful mind. Nash lives in a caring and understanding family and university campus, which is an objective condition for mental patients to use their good psychological quality to overcome their diseases.
After Nash became ill, he had hallucinations, which made him unable to tell the truth from the truth in his life. Fortunately, he still had some self-knowledge. With the care of relatives, medication, insulin injection and electroconvulsive therapy in the hospital, he has always had a belief that he will overcome mental or mental illness with his own will. He didn't break the jar and give up on himself, and he always cooperated with the treatment. Until his later years, although this kind of schizophrenia was not cured, he still treated and lived strongly until 1994 won the Nobel Prize in Economics. It should be said that Nash's success in his career, or his struggle with illness, ultimately depends mainly on himself. The power from the heart is infinite, which may be the profound inspiration given to us by screenwriters and directors.
The title of the film A Beautiful Mind is just right. Nash has a beautiful heart. In order to bear the burden of the family, take care of his son and meet the needs of his wife, he stopped taking medicine. And under the ridicule of others and the disapproval of doctors, I am strong enough to live and fight mental illness. His heart is clean, and his strong will beautifies his mind. Alicia is a beautiful angel with a beautiful heart, guarding her lover. Facing her husband suffering from schizophrenia and the threat of injury, holding her newborn son, she did not flinch at all and resolutely took on this stormy home. Nash's friend Affin asked her, "Can you hold on?" She said, "Sometimes I hate Nash and God. But every time I look at Nash and tell myself that he is my prince charming, I become a person who loves him. Although this number is not many, it is enough. " What a great woman, at least she should be a great woman. She is beautiful, and sacred love makes her have a beautiful heart. Martin hansen and others who helped, encouraged and cared for Nash had a beautiful heart. They accepted a mental patient with a broad and warm heart. Nash, Alicia, Hansen and others are all building a bridge to a beautiful heart with their love.
Secondly, judging from the appreciation value of the film itself, A Beautiful Mind is unconventional in both plot design and shooting techniques, which exceeds the expectations of the viewers.
And Russell's superb acting skills also make Nash's inner world extremely real. No matter from which point of view, this film can be used as a teaching film of film art. It is very difficult to interpret mental patients and drunkards, and it is also the touchstone for acting actors. The reason is that mental patients and alcoholics are not recognized as bastards and bad people like Hitler. They can't control their patients at first, and they can't control their patients in essence, so it is unconvincing to show their disgusting appearance extremely. On the other hand, what they have done has really brought direct harm to people, especially their relatives and friends, so it is not accurate to show too much sympathy to them. In such a dilemma, first of all, a beautiful mind is described from a subjective perspective (that is, Nash's fantasies, auditory hallucinations, etc.). ), let the audience personally feel Nash's fantasy world, and at the same time cause the audience to have the illusion that it is a real scene. Then he returned to the objective perspective (that is, Nash's real environment), which made the audience suddenly realize and expressed deep sympathy for Nash's experience. In this process, Russell's charisma and melancholy expression strongly promoted the plot development and characterization.
Another unique feature of the film is that it does not use the usual expression technique of exaggerating the support of relatives and friends, but takes Russell as the center and highlights Nash's extraordinary courage, willpower and superhuman wisdom in the face of difficulties with Russell's personal charm. In other words, the film can be renamed "Strong Mind" or "Superman's Psychotic Edition", then we can really understand why the director chose Russell as the tough guy to play the economist Nash. Of course, this also leads to the fatal wound of the film: perfect film, illusory reality, that is to say, the film itself is very successful, but it is far from the real Nash. Accurately speaking, Nash in the film is artificially exaggerated and fictional.
A celebrity said that the most difficult person in the world is himself. After countless personal experiences, I have to admire how accurate the philosopher's foresight is. Man can surpass everything, but not himself. However, after reading A Beautiful Mind and experiencing the painful and great life situation of Dr. john nash, I have to admit that human spirit and perseverance are omnipotent! The only schizophrenic scientist who won the Nobel Prize defeated himself and won the highest victory in the world. His indomitable and beautiful mind has set up an unshakable monument for us!
