The introduction to the movie "Beautiful Mind" is about a mathematician's story, coupled with the name full of chicken soup. Although I have seen it in Douban high-scoring movies several times, it has never been opened.
But just two days ago, I finally watched it, and even almost got dismissed when I saw it halfway through it, but until I finished watching it, I really wanted to recommend this movie to everyone.
1. The better a person is, the more he cannot accept his ordinary self.
John Naishu in the movie is a genius.
is also the winner of the famous Carnegie Scholarship.
And he is like many geniuses, paranoid and arrogant.
At a banquet, he said to his classmate Martin, "I guess you are used to miscalculation. I have read your first draft and read both. I am sure that no matter which one is developed or innovative."
When he was about to graduate, most of John Naishu's classmates had published papers, but he said that he could no longer waste his time in books and classes to remember those unconvincing assumptions.
He feels that he must make a breakthrough. We must find out his original theory for game theory.
He does not pursue the graduation that most classmates pursue, and there are ordinary thesis. What he wants is to be able to shock the world, make himself stand out, and make his talents shock everyone. This is something he thinks he has.
When Martin said that his other two classmates had proved Allen's inference completely, Naxu just pulled the corner of his mouth and said that it was not satisfactory, but unfortunately there was no innovation.
For Naixu, what he wants is originality and creation.
This is his perception and expectations for himself, and he should be like this.
This is also the key to the greatness of so many great men. They have super high requirements and dare to imagine.
But such people are also difficult to accept their failures.
During the game of Go with his classmates, he thought that every step he took was perfect, but in the end he lost.
Unexpectedly, when he stood up in panic, he even knocked over the chessboard. When he left, he kept reading, saying that there was something wrong with this game.
In his world, he does not allow himself to lose, and he does not allow himself to fail.
So, when he was unable to study the original theory of game theory for a long time, he would even hit his head against the window.
will also enter the Wheeler Laboratory that you have always dreamed of.
found that I started to do repetitive work every day, and the time I used to study was also used to teach students.
This made him feel very stupid. He felt that this class not only wastes students' time, but also his own time.
So later he fantasized about starting to do things for the country and cracking passwords for the country's most confidential department so great that it can fully realize its value.
will devote your entire life to the research of mathematics.
2, but no matter how rational or excellent people are, they all need relationships.
Naixu's mathematical requirements for self and final achievements make us respect and admire them.
But it is as good as a surprise, his interpersonal relationships are actually very poor.
Naixu's teacher once said that he has two heads, but only half a heart.
Once, Naixu's classmate asked him to pick up a lady, but Naixu said so after he went over.
He said, in order to sleep with you, I really don’t know what to say, so you just say everything I should say. Anyway, what we are talking about is about liquid communication, so why not get into the topic of sexual intercourse immediately!
As a result, Naixu was slapped in the face.
And the reason why Naixu fantasized about his friend Charles has a lot to do with his bad interpersonal relationships.
To a certain extent, Naixu is immersed in his own research all day long, obsessed with whether he can have original theories and whether he can make a big splash.
However, there is almost no relationship in life, no family, no friends, no lover.
I have been learning psychology recently. He said that when I blindly pursue strength, it is usually a person's narcissistic personality, and people are equal in relationships, so only in relationships can people feel true happiness.
In fact, what touched me the most about this movie is not only Naixu's paranoia and achievements as a mathematician. I believe that many people are like me, but more people are moved by his wife who defeated mental illness with Naixu.
3. Although achievements are worthy of joy, what is even more worthy of joy is that there is someone in this world who loves you as much as life.
In the little prince, the fox said: "To me, you are just a little boy, just like thousands of other little boys, no different. I don't need you. You don't need me either.
For you, I am just a fox, no different from the thousands of other foxes. But if you tame me, we will need each other. To me, you are unique in my world; to you, I am the only one in your world."
After discovering that Naixu began to fantasize, Naixu's wife needed to take care of Naixu and their children every day.
And when someone asked her how she was doing, she said this.
"I often think, sometimes I feel this is an obligation, sometimes I feel guilty for wanting to leave him, and even angry with Naixu and God. But when I look at him and imagine him as my prince charming, he gradually changes, becoming the person I love deeply, and I also become the person I love deeply.
Many people say that love is not enough in marriage, indeed, so, it seems that Naixu's wife is really a very great woman.
When Naixu fantasizes about doing nothing every day, and cannot even maintain a normal relationship with a husband and wife, she collapsed, but she did not give up on him.
When the fantasy relapses, she was told that she must go to the hospital. When Naixu insisted that she could heal herself, she took Naixu's hand, put it on her face, and told him that these are real.
And Naixu may be the only patient who defeated schizophrenia by himself. Although those in the fantasy still did not leave in the end, Naixu could already tell what fantasy and what reality is, and he was able to do these because of his wife.
Just like Naixu said to his wife at the end: "Only in this mysterious equation of love can you find logic or the origin. I can stand here tonight, it is all your credit. You are the factor of my success and the only factor. Thank you. ”
I hope there will be such a person in your life.
I think this movie can't be described in my language at all. Go and watch it quickly.
