Review- A Beautiful Mind
An outstanding film. My first thought was - if one has to be
choose
between being a "Schizophrenic" or being a Nazi, then the moral thing
to
do is to be a schizophrenic.
John Nash, an upper-middle class person and an outstanding
mathematician
had an extremely logical mind and was able to recognise that one of
the
imaginary people he saw (a little girl) was not growing any older.
Thus
he realised that she was not real.
The way he dealt with these appearances was to decide not to answer
when
they "spoke" to him. Eventually he was able to ignore them and return
to
his work as a mathematician and university lecturer.
Many more obscure people have dealt with "hallucinations" in this
way-
The film which gives this important insight is well worth seeing.
And the film conveys that a "Schizophrenic" may do silly things but
will
try to obey the same moral code they had before the onset of this
disorder.
I hope that it will help in the fight to remove stigma from those
with
mental illness - well-known or unknown.
