A Beautiful Mind overall was a very insightful movie. It showed me what people with schizophrenia see and deal with.  One thing that really stuck out to me was when the doctor told John Nash, the main character, that John couldn't think up an escape from the disease because the disease was in his head.  I felt like this was very eye-opening.  It showed me that people with schizophrenia honestly think there is something wrong.  I felt bad for John when he realized that every fond memory he had about solving the war codes and running away from danger were all delusions.  Every thing that he loved about life didn't even exist and was all fiction. My favorite character was probably John's wife, Alicia.  She put up with a lot of stress and her way of doing things was very witty. During the movie, Alicia shows John all of the large envelopes that he had written and spent so much time doing.  In the envelopes were the codes that he had worked hard to uncover.  When John realized that none of the envelopes had been opened, he became aware that he had a problem.  I felt like this was a turning point in the movie. The movie began to get confusing around the time that he was checked into the mental hospital.  I personally was unsure as to why he was going there.  I thought everyone thought he was crazy, but because he was working for the government he couldn't disclose any information or tell anyone about what he was actually doing.  I thought he was being admitted because he couldn't explain the reasoning behind his actions.  Later we realize that he does have a problem and is then diagnosed with schizophrenia. I look up to John for being able to begin to learn to ignore the delusions. Overall, this movie was a very good movie and was well portrayed.
