This film to me was absolutely amazing. Overall I feel that they did an excellent job on portraying the symptoms, treatments, and affects of Schizophrenia. John Nash's symptoms were accurately displayed in the fact that he did have delusions/ hallucinations for a long period of time. He also was extremely socially dysfunctional with other people. He could never really look anyone in the face while talking to them and he didn't understand the affects of saying something inappropriate to another.

This portrayal of a person with Schizophrenia was fair. It just goes to show you how hard it is to come back to reality and realize that you are sick and most of the things you know to be real are not at all. It's accurate in showing how hard it is for him to understand he is sick and needs help. I can't even imagine how scared I would be if everything I knew was fake. Another very hard part of someone having Schizophrenia is the affects that it has on their family. In this film Alicia, his wife, was fascinated by John. Later, as his illness progressed, she still loved him very much but it was extremely hard for her. He was dull and no longer interested in her and their child. The scene in particular where they are in bed together really shows how dull John is because of the medication he is on. That is such a powerful scene. Being a close family member of someone...
