Tina did NOT just do A Beautiful Mind review.  >:(

You wrote it well, brought the film justice.  The soundtrack is beautiful, I even went to lengths to purchase A Kaleidescope of Mathematics.  BTW, I've watched it at least 23 times.  >:(

I very well may have seen it over a million times. >:(

It's not quite an unseen plot twist if you know anything about John Forbes Nash...
Great movie though.

I may very well have only seen it once. >:(

I thought it was a good movie, but I think I was a bit too young when I saw it to understand it, so it didn't make much sense to me.

Who knows anything about Nash? I saw the movie when I was 13 when it came out...

I had to do a short poster on him for Maths a few years ago, so I knew what was going to happen.

I saw it before I could really understand it as well, but I had a faint idea of who he was.

Well, obviously. :x Dunno how much the average person knows about his life, though.

I also didn't really appreciate it when I first saw it because I was a bit young. The second time around, though... <3

I just saw it for the first time about 2 months ago and it is an amazing movie. It hit prety close to home on the fear scale because one of my relatives is Bi-polar(I know it is not schizophrenia but you can fill in the blanks) and I feared what he was going through when it got bad.

To be honest, I can't think of many mental illnesses which are a barrel of laughs...

And Freeze, she was just insane...

Jumping Frenchmen of Maine sounds pretty hilarious, I'd have a lot of fun with that.  :x 

I know a bipolar artist, one day he thinks he's God the next he's the scum of the world.  It's really sad, but he's a cool guy.

Fair enough.

And I can attest that schizophrenia is really, really not fun. One of the few diseases I'm actually quite scared about.

Schizophrenia is pretty bad but there worse things out there that you could be stuck with. All you can do is pray for those people and hope that everything works out.

Something tells me that schizophrenia is going to take a little more than that.

Dammit, *I* was going to do that. Everyone should know of the horrors those poor men face...
