A Beautiful Mind (2001) Synopsis ABM promo with Russell Crowe on ET |
A BEAUTIFUL MIND Filmed - Mar 26, 2001 – July 31, 2001
Premise:
The film is based on
a 1998 novel "A Beautiful Mind: A Biography of John Forbes Nash,
Jr." by Sylvia Nasar which chronicles the life of noted
mathematician John Forbes Nash Jr. who suffered from schizophrenia. The
story covers his years of suffering-including his relationships with
men, his marriage, a mistress and the fathering of an illegitimate
son--and his eventual recovery. Background: Though
seemingly destined for greatness, Nash was institutionalized in 1959 at
the age of 31 after being diagnosed as schizophrenic. He then spent the
next three decades wandering Europe and America alternating between
intermittent hospitalization and occasional remission. After making a
remarkable recovery in the mid-80's, Nash went on to win a 1994 Nobel
Prize for Economics. The movie will focus on Nash's relationship with
his wife and his path from his early success to mental illness to
recovery.
