Following its wider release on 4 January the following year, the movie peaked at the #2 spot. The discussion of the Nash equilibrium has also been criticized as over-simplified.ĭuring the five-day weekend of its limited United States release (21 December 2001), A Beautiful Mind opened at the #12 spot at the box office. The film was generally well received by critics but caught some flack for leaving out certain notable aspects of Nash’s life, such as the son he fathered prior to his marriage. It was also nominated for Best Actor, Best Film Editing, Best Makeup, and Best Original Score. Made on a $58 million budget, the film went to gross over $313 million worldwide and won four Academy Awards: Best Picture, Best Director, Best Adapted Screenplay and Best Supporting Actress.
Unlike the book, the film skips Nash’s childhood and instead starts with his days as a graduate student at Princeton University. The film, which used a screenplay by Akiva Goldsman, starred Russel Crowe as John Nash and Jennifer Connelly as his wife, the Salvadoran-American physicist Alicia Nash (née Lardé Lopez-Harrison). This book, which won the National Book Critics Circle Award for a biography when it was published in 1998, was written by the journalist professor Sylvia Nasar, who her self has a Masters degree in economics and used to be an economic correspondent for the New York Times in the 1990s.
Based on the life of economist and mathematician John Forbes Nash Jr, the film was largely inspired by the bestselling unauthorized biography of the same name. A Beautiful Mind is a 2001 biographical drama film directed by Ron Howard.
