“A Beautiful Mind” is a film by director Ron Howard, based on the biography of mathematical genius John Forbes Nash, Jr, played by Russell Crowe. Jennifer Connelly plays Alicia Larde, wife of John Nash. John is schizophrenic. He received the Nobel Prize in Economics in 1994 for developing “game theory”. This is a film about how schizophrenia affects the functioning of the person as well as that of their family. Although we will never know what it truly means to suffer from this disorder, this film attempts to depict the experiences of a schizophrenic. This film also attempts to encourage people to get help, as schizophrenia can be treated but not cured. John is a graduate student at Princeton University. He is a mathematical genius who tries to develop an original idea. As with many cases of schizophrenia, her symptoms begin to appear in her twenties, as evidenced by the fact that Charles Herman is her imaginary friend, her Princeton roommate. Additionally, his way of speaking and walking is somewhat eccentric. He is very competitive. He suffered from schizophrenia long before he was diagnosed with the illness. It takes time for him to realize his problems after being diagnosed with schizophrenia. This film provides information about symptoms, treatment and the difficulties the person and their family must go through. Nash exhibits many key symptoms of schizophrenia. The inability to communicate is one of the main symptoms of schizophrenia, and it affects interpersonal relationships and intimacy. Nash doesn't have many friends and he doesn't talk to many people. Although he marries Alicia, one of his students while teaching at MIT, later, when his symptoms are severe, he is unable to respond to her. He suffers from visual and auditory hallucinations as well as delusions. He thought he was working on a top secret project for the government and that the Russians were following him because they had discovered his work. He is not able to think straight. His speech is slurred and his facial expressions and gestures are awkward. His social skills are poor.
