A Beautiful Mind

i watched this movie in psych class today and i have so many thoughts right now. i didnt know anything about it beforehand since the teacher said that she wont spoil us and that we should analyse it on our own. you really empathize with him at the start and feel as if youre inside johns mind from the viewers perspective since the mission where he has to crack codes and constantly stay on the run feels very real. my mind was blown (heh). seriously. at the beginning the film felt like a cold war thriller but in the end it turned into a psychological drama. it was as if the ground suddenly disappeared beneath my feet when everything started to make sense. when john realized that charles' niece wasnt aging at all. i found the ending very bittersweet and hopeful bc john accepted his hallucinations and learned to live with them. the movie was very interesting and i enjoyed it a lot because im really interested in these kind of themes:) (i also just found out its a biopic?? woah)
