A Beautiful Mind (2002)

A Beautiful Mind tells the story of the amazing John Nash, but some of the facts in the case might be a little less than amazing. For one, the levels of his schizophrenia get largely misinterpreted. The incidents that would ever make him an unlikely character are pretty much ignored.

There’s another heartwarming scene where Nash looks at his wife with a loving stare. The only problem? The couple had divorced 31 years earlier! While there are some incidents in the story that weren’t accurate, A Beautiful Mind is still a beautiful movie.
