The film begins with a warm orange-red hue that sets a gentle tone for the film.
Following the professor's narration, the camera kept switching between the two boys, one sitting in the crowd, one hiding in the corner of the classroom, one raising his proud head and smiling confidently, and the other bowing his head timidly. The difference in personality between the two people has been shown here, and it is obvious that one of the boys has a mental illness such as social anxiety.
When they were having dinner together, the socially fearful boy, our male protagonist, John Nash, smiled for the first time, as he played with the sun refracting through the glass. He is alone and alone. When there is no one around him, he can put his hands in his pockets and hold his head high, and when there are people around him, his expression is stiff and his head is lowered. When he saw the pattern on someone else's tie, he made that pattern with a casual smile using the refraction of the sun and the glass, and said the first sentence: "There could be a mathematical explanation for how bad your tie is .” This sentence alone points out two of his characteristics, one is his low emotional intelligence, and the other is his worship and belief in mathematics.
Many of his words after that were expressed in one definition.
All the picture directors here have used very warm, very beautiful tones. And Nash showed a little habit of him. When he was nervous, he would put his right hand against his forehead to avoid his eyes and comb his hair on the right side, and then his right hand rose in a spiral when speaking.
Charles Herman appeared for the first time after Nash entered the dormitory, and when he came out, he was dishevelled and presumptuous. It immediately showed his character, a prodigal son with a high IQ. Nash was stunned for a moment, then asked roommate? This lays the groundwork for the plot that follows.
After getting to know each other, Charles took Nash to the rooftop for a drink, where Nash showed a strong desire to win. He knew that more than half of the students had published their papers, and although he had not published anything, he Be sure to find the original theory of game theory. This shows his strong obsession with original theory.
The plot here is advancing very fast. After showing Nash's desire to survive and obsession, he immediately made him lose the chess competition with his old enemy. At this time, he seemed to collapse abnormally. The opponent, the second is what the opponent said, they have all published a lot of important papers, but he himself has nothing. He does not accept his failure.
After failing the chess game, Nash went to the library for two days, and his roommate Charles Herman showed up again and asked him when do you last eat, which brought him out of this predicament. While at the bar, Charles Herman didn't play with Nash, and disappeared after other classmates came, which was the second foreshadowing.
After facing the blows of classmates, the opposite sex, and professors, Nash finally couldn't take it anymore.
I can't fail, this is all I have.
Charles helped Nash out of the woods again, helped guide him
Finally after this, Nash created game theory.
Here's a shot I really like.
The camera is pulled out of Nash's small window, the camera is slowly zoomed out, and the surrounding scenery slowly changes from snowy to full of vitality. First, it shows the passage of time, and second, it shows that for Nash, his cold winter It's over, his day has come.
Until this point, many people may be surprised that the film only took 25 minutes to tell the story of Nash's success. But looking at the progress bar, I found that there are still nearly two hours left. What kind of setbacks will Nash face in these two hours? It will give people a feeling of anticipation, but if I think this way, if the future The plot cannot be particularly attractive, which will cause the film to have a high-opening and low-going feeling, so the subsequent plot must be more plump and attractive. In this drama, I don't think the supporting characters are portrayed enough, and it gives me the feeling that in the first 25 minutes of the shot, why those who were close to Nash's competitors immediately started to mock their former friends, and why Nash wanted to pick those two people as his assistants, but not his roommate Charles. He didn't say it very clearly. It gave people a feeling that those two people were mercenary, and I think it was a bug. For Nash, Charles is a real person, so why doesn't he pick his best friends and enter the top lab with him? So I think if possible, I can portray a little more of the characteristics of the supporting characters to make the characters more full.
Five years later, Nash was invited to help crack the code. He unlocked the code at once, and noticed a man in black upstairs, so he asked the others, Who's big brother? But he ignored him, this was the third foreshadowing.
When teaching at MIT, Nash met a different student. She is very beautiful and uses different ideas to solve problems. In this episode, the shots are all centered on Nash, which can also make people feel After all, there must be a story between the two.
When Nash was talking to two friends in the office, he mentioned that the Soviet Union was building hydrogen bombs, that China had a group of troops, and he was building dams to teach here, and when referring to the cover of Time magazine, he mentioned the other three and The people who were on the cover at the same time dismissed him. One of them showed his pride and self-confidence in himself, and his dissatisfaction that he was not used by over-qualified people. Foreshadowing for the future. At this time, the black boss came to him again, assigned him a task, and said that this task was a top secrete, and he could not tell anyone, which bought another foreshadowing.
The girl in the class, Alicia Larde, went to Nash again. Since graduating from college, Nash has become a very confident person on the surface. His previous little habit did not appear in the movie, combing his hair, but when Alicia asked When he could eat with him, he did it again. And if it was the previous Nash, he would directly ask me if I could have sex with you, but here Nash didn't do that, but promised the girl to pick her up for dinner. You can also see Nash's progress here. If he wants to do it, must be able to do it. And when Alicia appeared, she was wearing a red dress. This is a high-saturation color that has never appeared in the picture before this movie, and it proves that Alicia is different from Nash.
Charles shows up when Nash is hesitant to marry Alicia after he feels he is being followed.
When he was in the restaurant, he already behaved like a "human". When he gave Alicia a gift, he would deliberately withdraw his hand and let A grab it. He will also say a little love, "I'm always listening."
How big is the universe?
infinite
how do you know
I know because all the data indicate it
But it hasn't been proven yet?
No
You haven't seen it
No
How do you know for sure?
I don't, I just believe it.
It's the same with love, I guess.
After the marriage, Nash's work situation became more and more dangerous, and his nerves became more and more tense.
At this time, the black boss appeared again, threatening him to continue, and wanting to separate him from his wife.
Nash began to be very sensitive to the wind and grass, and the wind and the grass were all over the place. His attitude towards his wife is also getting worse.
Finally, his wife found out that he was mentally abnormal.
When he was chased by a psychiatrist, neither his best friend C nor his niece helped him, just watched in the crowd
It turns out he has schizophrenia
What is the greatest thing this film is trying to tell us?
Yes I need to believe that something extraordinary is possible.
Every time roommate C appeared, it was when John was in trouble, and every time C played an enlightening role to help John get out of the predicament. In fact, if you think about it carefully, C is what John wants to live like, intellectual, cheerful, and free, all of which John doesn't have. John was different from an early age, his primary school teacher said he had two brains but one heart, he had a high IQ but little emotional intelligence, and was completely socially ignorant. So C appeared at his most difficult time and was the bright side of his heart. And that Big Brother appeared every time when John's life was flat. John is very competitive and doesn't allow himself to fail, and when his life gets into a situation where he feels overpowered, he fantasizes about Big Brother, he's doing some extraordinary work. Such is the tragedy of genius. His knowledge reserve is enough to support him to create a world of his own. All of these people were created by him to make up for the flaws in his heart. So how to solve it? Find the problem, solve it like a mathematician, just like him.
Once John recognized the phantoms, he could face his own flaws, and his wife could trust him, even if John might even kill her. What a great trust and love it is.
There are too many things that cannot be proved. If you trust each other, you can get through the difficulties together.
