I just finished watching the movie (again), with my younger son, this time. Interesting how we watched the same flick but came away with different feelings as a result.
He said it was a sad movie. My takeon it is that there are seriously sad parts, but that this movie gives me great hope, that a person with mental illness can have a rewarding life AND have someone amazing stand with them, through the good times and the bad.
A Beautiful Mind won awards when it came out, and it deserved it!. It is difficult to watch at times, but so is life. If you’re looking for a thought-provoking way to spend a couple of hours, this is a good one.
I’m going to turn in for the night. Thank you so much for coming by, especially when you drop me a note. I love hearing from you!
This is the only film I know with a happy ending for someone with psychosis. I’d be grateful if anyone could point me in the direction of other films like this. Thank you.

I found it heartbreaking but I can see the hope.

Now that mental illness has affected my family in a difficult way, I think I should watch the movie again. I love the idea of finding the hope.Right now, it feels like it takes so much more than it gives.
