The movie A Beautiful Mind displays acts of genius, insanity and madness. The lead character of this movie is a man named John Nash. John was a mathematician who went to Princeton. In Princeton he dorms with his good friend Charles.
John Nash is a genius who invents what I think was an economical equation. With his theory he is then put on a top secret mission. He is given his own practice were he chose two of his friend to work with him. He becomes distant with Charles as he begins working on his top secret mission as well as with his two college buds.
Throughout the movie whether he is truly is a genius is questioned. After John Nash comes up with this equation the top secret mission he was put on does not exist. Nash has a best friend and he has a niece and a boss who works for the CIA. When Nash is diagnosed it is revealed that he has schizophrenia. It appears that he made up these people to become comfortable in the new environment he was in, he had no friends and thus Charles was created. Being chosen for a top secret mission gave him importance. I think Charles niece was a very important character to help Nash realize what was real and what wasn’t. He no longer needed Charles when he had his friends.
In order for Nash to overcome his insanity his ‘genius’ kicked in and realized Charles niece never grew up after five years. So through his madness that was caused by the insanity he overcame his troubles by finding the solution and with his wife Alicia’s help he continued to try.
