    A Beautiful Mind by: Slyvia Nasar

    So this book was amazing and comparing it to the movie makes it seem very different, almost a different story. I was wondering, in light of both the book and movie, how does one know what is real and what is unreal?

    The book and the movie is about John Forbes Nash, Its not important which is real, cause John Nash as the character is in real a true genius. I personally enjoyed Russell Crowe in the movie, although i prefer his performance in Gladiator over A Beautiful Mind. But i would prefer The movie over the book, only because of Russell.

    "A Beautiful Mind" (film) was interesting... I remember watching it sometime back in high school. At the time, I was bored with it, even though I did like the addition of Ed Harris and those schizophrenic conspiracy theories...
    "We look at the world, at governments, across the spectrum, some with more freedom, some with less. And we observe that the more repressive the State is, the closer life under it resembles Death. If dying is deliverance into a condition of total non-freedom, then the State tends, in the limit, to Death. The only way to address the problem of the State is with counter-Death, also known as Chemistry." -- Thomas Pynchon, Against the Day

    I liked that movie. I thought it was naive but possible. But I like the quote you carry a lot more. Give them chemistry.

    The only thing I don't like about the movie is that it is NOTHING like the book. The movie is almost a completely different story...
