    The part where Nash talks to himself about what kind of tea he should drink was something that really happened when Russell Crowe visited the real John Nash and had tea with him. Crowe liked it so much he added it in to this scene.

    Whether you like Russell Crowe or not, consider his great range of acting ability -- from a Roman gladiator to a schizophrenic man to an 18th century ship captain to a Depression-era boxer to a gunfighter in the Old American West. He portrayed all of these characters in early 2000s movies, convincing me that he's one of the greatest actors of my generation.

Plus, like others have mentioned, Denzel hadn't won one for best actor yet at this point leading up to the 2001 Oscars.

    I knew John at Princeton shortly before we tragically lost him and Alicia. I asked him to teach me the Nash equilibrium because my professor couldn't teach it in any way I could understand, and he generously gave me some of his time. We don't really do the pen thing at Princeton, but this residential college - Rockefeller College, or "Rocky" - is even more beautiful in person than it is on film. And Crowe did the tea thing because he experienced it while visiting the real Nash. I can believe it, because John once offered me the second half of his sandwich after eating through the first half. Great memories! Professor Nash was a living legend.

    I’ve watched this movie so many times, but today I finally came to a conclusion about this movie. It is never said, and I don’t know that the directors meant to do this, but Nash’s equilibrium was not only what helped him win the Nobel prize, but it also saved his life. It was only working with Saul, Bender, and Martin that greatness was achieved. It was only with his friends that he came up with his original idea (and not alone). It was only with Felicia that he discovered his affliction in fear he might hurt her. It was only with Martin and Felicia’s help that John was able to overcome his affliction and become a functional member of the community. Nash says in the movie that success can only be achieved when everyone does what’s best for themselves and the group. It wasn’t until John started working with the group that his real triumphs began.

    Studies economics and doing my master in applied statistics (data science). The movie is beautiful as well as it's music but the Nash equilibrium is not presented correctly in the movie. It seems like it incorporates altruism into the maximisation problem of the individual but it does not. It shows that when maximizing individually a group of people will, given uncertainty over the choices off the others, not always reach the optimal outcome. So it is about trust in some way. However in my opinion stochastic optimization and information theroy develop this way further. Economics just hasn't caught up yet.

    John Forbes Nash Jr. (June 13, 1928 - May 23, 2015) was an American mathematician who made fundamental contributions to game theory, differential geometry, and the study of partial differential equations.[2][3] Nash's work has provided insight into the factors that govern chance and decision-making inside complex systems found in everyday life.

    This film is to intellectuals what Brian's Song is to athletes. There are few words to describe the emotion of toiling in obscurity to only be recognized so many years after the fact. This is a poignant moment that always puts a lump in my throat. Russell Crowe's performance in this film is among his best, if not his best. I still find it difficult to watch, however, because some of the scenes strike too damn close to home. Still, it's in my library and I watch it to remember the struggle. BTW, Nash's comment regarding "the diet of the mind" is very sage advice. Everyone's life would be better if they acknowledged things that they indulge in that serve little purpose.

    There's an odd-but-poignant writeup about Nash and his son -- John Charles Nash -- where both men seem to agree that "he (father) passed his illness on to his son," and that having the son in his life somehow kept him on the 'straight' (saner) path. Strange concurrence between them that a demon was passed on, or a custodial burden. I wonder what their private conversations must have been like.
