Beautiful Mind

I love watching movies because it is the best way to get rid of stress to me, so when I feel depressed and stressed, I normally watch movies. When I watch movies, I feel like I am in totally different world where time even doesn’t pass. I can fully fall into movies and enjoy what a specific atmosphere the movie makes without worries about the reality.

A couple of years ago, I saw Beautiful Mind and it became one of my favorites since the time. This movie is about a genius mathematician who has schizophrenia. He went to Princeton University. He was genius and unsociable like usually the genius are unsociable. While attending Princeton University, he started seeing ghosts but he didn’t think they were ghosts but real. One of them was his roommate though he didn’t have anyone. Other was the roommate’s niece. Around that time he met a beautiful girl at a bar though he was unsociable. Both got attracted to each other and got married. After graduation, he worked in national institute and saw another ghost, a Government agent who constantly gave him secret missions, which is decodement. He got so obsessed with code breaking that it caused many troubles. He went to doctor and started to have medicine but the medicine brought him other problems. The whole schizophrenia things drove them into very hard time but eventually they got through it. Thanks to his wife’s love, he decided to just ignore the ghosts without medicine. After long time, he won Nobel Prize. He said to his wife, “I’m only here tonight because of you. You are the reason I am”
