The only thing "genius" about the movie is the opening piece of music. Unfortunately even it may get cut out when the movie is ripped/converted to DivX. The depiction of either "the creative process" or schizophrenia is very far from what they are in any reality that I am familiar with (I am not very well familiar with schizophrenia but I've seen crazy people and science is close to me). There is no drama in John Nash's disease. All of it seems like a normal life but with a few extra people appearing to the main hero that nobody else seem to notice. The depiction of drama that followed is very sketchy at best with several decades of his life compressed into just a few minutes. The movie seems to suggest that the Nobel Prize is a sufficient reward for all of Prof. Nash's suffering. I personally would not trade 30 or more years of my life for any prize.
