It was a boring Saturday nite and I happened to surf some movie channels.. came across the movie 'A beautiful mind'. I was somehow reminded of this movie name, as suggested by many of my friends as a must watch, though never really got a chance...
The movie was already half over..still managed to gather some info from the set top box. It was about the fight that a scheizophrenic person puts up against his disease even when he is totally helpless as the problem is actually his brain.
Well..every scene in this movie is a masterpiece..and I was speechless
Take for instance the scene where the guy knows his disease,is totally helpless but still challenges his doc against taking electric shocks and medicines. He tries to convince his wife to leave since he was dangerous. His wife still remains with him and tells him that whatever his mind makes him feel or see is not real..the only real thing is him and her and their hearts together. Whenever he is faced with any delusion he should only believe only in this truth and nothing else. And that's how the guy never gives up and learns to ignore his delusions and life a happy life..with his wife being the constant pillar of support.
This movie also reminds us of similar situations in most of our lives..where we are totally helpless...where our mind may not be able to provide the perfect answer..and maybe heart can or vice versa..is true! This realization may not come to us all of a sudden but only when someone who cares for you, reminds you that.
Then..what do do you do.. Just choose to live through the situation with your loved one and ignore the worst parts as rightly said by movie's male protagonist - "It's only in the complex equations of love that you realize what logic is."
Lovely movie and amazing message..was totally mesmerized by it! Sigh!
I love this movie
