About A Beautiful Mind (film) in brief
A Beautiful Mind is a 2001 American biographical drama film based on the life of the American mathematician John Nash. The film was directed by Ron Howard, from a screenplay written by Akiva Goldsman. It stars Russell Crowe, Ed Harris, Jennifer Connelly, Paul Bettany, Adam Goldberg, Judd Hirsch, Josh Lucas, Anthony Rapp, and Christopher Plummer in supporting roles. The story begins in Nash’s days as a graduate student at Princeton University. It went on to gross over USD 313 million worldwide and won four Academy Awards, for Best Picture, Best Director, Best Adapted Screenplay and Best Supporting Actress. It was well received by critics, but has been criticized for its inaccurate portrayal of some aspects of Nash’s life, especially his other family and a son born out of wedlock. The filmmakers have stated that the film was not meant to be a literal representation of Nash’s life. In 1994, Nash won the Nobel Prize for his work on revolutionary theory on the theory of governing dynamics. He was also a Nobel Laureate in Economics and Abel Prize winner. Nash died of a heart attack at the age of 80 in 2007. He is buried in a plot to be buried in the middle of a forest. He leaves behind a wife and two children. He has a son with his second wife, Alicia, and a daughter with his third wife, Marcee. Nash is married to Alicia until his death in 2010. He also has a stepson, Charles, with whom he had a son, Charles Nash.
Nash also had a daughter, Marcie, with another woman, Alicia Larde, who died in a car accident in 2011. Nash has a daughter named Marcea with his fourth wife, Jennifer. Nash had a child with Alicia with his fifth wife, Ainsley, who later died of cancer. Nash and Alicia have one son, John Nash, who was born in 1996. Nash was married to his sixth wife, Susan, until he died in 2012. Nash suffered from paranoid schizophrenia for most of his adult life. He died in 2011 at age 80. Nash’s son is named John Nash and he is buried with his wife and four children in New Jersey. Nash wrote a book about his experiences called “The Man Who Couldn’t Be Told” in which he describes his struggle with schizophrenia and how he learned to live with it. The book was inspired by the bestselling, Pulitzer Prize-nominated 1998 book of the same name by Sylvia Nasar. Nash later wrote a second book, “Nash’s Mind”, which was published in 2002. Nash won a Nobel Prize in Economics for his contributions to the field of economics. Nash received a MacArthur Foundation award for his research on the Theory of Relativism. He later died in 2010 at age 83. Nash left his wife Alicia and their son in a nursing home. Nash continues to teach at Princeton and MIT. In the late 1970s, Nash is allowed to teach again at Princeton.
