Finally i’ve seen A Beautiful Mind. I make it sound like an achievement or something. It sure is, considering the fact that i never wanted to see the movie because i thought it was a really sad movie. I’ve seen bits and pieces of the movie when it was first released and believe me the ones i saw werent very happy scenes. The part where he is given electric shock, leaving the baby in the tub didnt really give me a good impression of the picture. i was too narrowminded to believe my friends who said the movie was a masterpiece. But i never listened to them. Because once my mind is made up, i would never listen to anyone on anything. Some ppl would call it being stubborn i guess.
Anyways, i dont quite know what really made me change my mind. But i think i just wanted to know, what was all the hype about. Why Mr. Russell “Gladiator” Crowe was blessed with the coveted oscar for the second time in the row. After i’ve seen the movie, i had no doubt that he really deserved this. More than the one for the Gladiator. Never once did i see the man who played the Gladiator in this movie. Thats amazing transformation. Playing a man who wants revenge to play someone who is vulnerable. Suffering from delusions. I must admit my ignorance. I dont know the mathematician John Nash prior to watching this movie. Call me stupid or anything that your intelligent mind can think of. I’ve not heard of him. But i guess this is a movie for ppl like me who dont know of him. To spread the greatness of a man who had to conquer his delusions and weaknesses to be the genius he was meant to be. I think Ron Howard has done a great job. The kid from Happy Days sure has a good head on his shoulders. I personally liked Jennifer Connelly. She was very different from what i’ve seen her earlier. A very different film of her where we get to see her act with her clothes on. She was amazing as the patient wife. I dont think anybody would’ve done better. The devotion she has for her husband is unbelievable. To think that this is a story of a real man makes it even more interesting. I think we’ve seen the best of everyone in the movie. The movie in a way is inspirational. It shows how everyone can conquer their weaknesses and be achievers. I really recommend this movie to everyone who hasnt watched it yet. I’m sure all those guys who believed Russell Crowe was just a handsome hunk would surely change their mind.
Enough movie talk. The other thing that happened today was that i finally got my project letter signed. The project title is..”Arsenic Removal from Ground Water”. Well, the only thing i know is that arsenic can be dangerous in water. Its poisonous. As far as its removal is concerned… i will find out in another 3 months or so when i officially start the project. It sure is gonna be intersting hopefully. Something that i would want to do for the whole year.
Well that said. i think its a wrap for now. The games are on the hold with the deadlines for assignments approaching real fast. But hopefully i would still find some time to complete the Chapter 1 of Neverwinter Nights.
