They told me to watch this movie when I went through my schizophrenia struggle. Been schizophrenic since I was a teenager. Took a lot of different medications to finally get to the right one that worked for me, to calm down my paranoid symptoms, but I still find myself talking to these other people that don't exist til this day various times. I just am aware now that they are not real. This movie really helped me a lot.

[@ssotkow]

The fact you acknowledge and confront your schizophrenia may perhaps point to a lower level of severity. The truly serious cases are totally oblivious and/or won't accept their illnesses.

[@waldoman7]

​@@ssotkowwhat you call lower level isn't a uncommon though.

I love that moment when the reality of the film dawns on the viewer. Good job, ladies.

The tragic thing is that him and Alicia both passed away from a car crash a couple years ago. After everything they’ve been through, at least they died together. May they rest in peace.

[@christopherking4932]

It so heartbreaking the first time I heard that news.

[@IDiggPattyMayonnaise]

After everything *she's been through. The film glosses over all the bad things in his life and there were a lot, like being abusive to his wife (he thought of her as his slave and they were divorced for almost 40yrs before remarrying), abandoning his first "interior" family and his anti-semitic views. It's controversial for being very inaccurate about his actual life. It cherry picked things and made them extraordinary for dramatic effect and left out anything negative. It's praised for being a good representation of schizophrenia (except the major point that he didn't have visual hallucinations at all). Much like all biographies it turns these people into saints. Already remember you're watching a film, and this was one made to win awards. Not everyone is as wholesome as they appear...

32:36 I wear headphones most days because my hallucinations tend to be auditory. They help with realizing what is actually heard vs the hallucinations, and I tend to multitask to drown out anything that isn’t real when they get real bad. I can’t imagine what going through life without a way to ground yourself would be like, but there are so many who don’t get help and suffer for it. On the flip side, there are so many people who don’t suffer and instead live with this and try to live “normal” lives. It’s crazy how far medicine and therapy has come to help people with these disorders

[@IDiggPattyMayonnaise]

Nashs hallucinations were auditory as well. They made up the visual hallucinations for dramatic effect. They took a lot of liberties while telling his story, like all biographies

[@sitting_nut]

"therapy " is pseudo science

[@stephiis8882]

Have you ever listened to Jerry Marzinsky's work on schizophrenia? He's a mental health specialist who has an entirely different take on the illness and has patients that he's entirely cured of symptoms without medication. He got fired for not following accepted protocol from the mental health field, but his process is far more effective and doesn't focus on making people permanent big pharma patients. Not to mention, big pharma and the current accepted treatments don't offer cures. They offer treatment (most of which are pharmaceuticals that cause brain damage and cause the brain to shrink over time, which big pharma has effectively hidden through biased studies that they funded themselves... independent research shows significant brain shrinkage is directly tied to anti-psychotics and drugs used to treat schizophreia) which equates to $$$ for the life of the patient. Jerry's approach seems to offer a curative solution with no drugs involved. Obviously, it won't work for everyone, but it's something people should definitely look into, as there are people who underwent it who swear to its efficacy.

[@asian-americanwithanopinio8954]

This film is not a secret it's just 2023. They don't market old movies. When this was released in video stores, it was all over. There were like 30 DVD/VHS copies and displays in the stores.

Paul Bettany met Jennifer Connelly here. His childhood crush since she was a teen actress. When 9/11 happened, he reached out to her making sure she was safe, and then asked her to marry him. Despite never dating, and they are still together

[@artemisbond9923]

To answer one of your many good questions, Insulin Shock Therapy was a real treatment for schizophrenia, invented in the 1920s and used until the 1960s. It caused seizures and, for reasons not fully understood, was of some benefit for people suffering from psychosis. Since then, electroconvulsive therapy (ECT) has replaced it and is vastly more effective and less traumatic.

[@brandonthesteele]

I've heard great things about ECT.

[@Frank-Voight-Kampff]

This is the movie where Paul Bettany met his wife. And Jennifer Connelly found her husband. Coincident? I think not!

[@TheRubberDuck77]

If you like Pual Bettney you should totally watch A Knights Tale, he plays Chaucer (the auther of the Canterbury Tales) The movie is amazing and he is one of the bests parts of it. If you've read the Canterbury tales, A Knights Tale, according to the makers of it, was an idea of making a fictional account of how Chaucer MIGHT have come up with the idea of them.

“Imagine if you had suddenly learned that the people, the places, the moments most important to you were not gone, not dead; but worse... had never been. What kind of hell would that be?” That line and the way it was delivered by Plummer is so hauntingly terrifying.

It's ironic that you spent most of the movie wondering if John Nash was real, when half the time he was the only real person on the screen 😛 I like this movie a lot, and I really love the soundtrack, it works so well for the shadowy secret agent stuff, but also for the 'descent into madness' elements. Thanks as always for being so respectful of movies like this and the stories they tell.

One of the earliest indication that Charles and his niece were not real is a scene where John is talking to Charles on the lawn while the niece ran around a bunch of pigeons in the background. Although she ran very close to the pigeons, the pigeons did not fly away as pigeons would really do.

[@dextercool]

This movie really gives an amazing insight into a certain type of mental illness - from my extremely limited non-professional experience of people who have had schizophrenic breaks from reality, there really is no talking them out of it, or convincing them out of their alternative reality - in fact, their ungroundedness and volatility is practically dizzying in its effects on those around them, on those trying gamely to help them; one can almost feel oneself getting pulled into the whirlpool of the mental turmoil and warped thinking the more one tries (as a lay person) to talk them out of their imaginings and baseless suspicions. Everything rational you tell them is taken to be some kind of motivated deception and is dismissed. Moreover, they are disappointed in you,almost feel betrayed, that you are lying to them despite the fact that you spelling out actual reality to them. You begin to realise why a professional is needed (obviously). There can be glimmers of lucidity (which give momentary hope) but they are fleeting. It's like a drowning person gets their head above water for a second - they even see for a moment that what they are saying and thinking couldn't possible make sense given a modicum of serious consideration. Sadly, when in the throes of schizophrenia, at its height, the person is quite far from amenable to rational intervention/explanation. All I'm saying is that, even if we harbour the notion "he doesn't know how to ground himself", while totally understandable, we may soon realise that, in the face of the nature of untreated schizophrenia, 'getting grounded' is really way beyond the reach of the person themselves (or anyone else) in the full bloom of hallucinations and paranoia. What makes the condition truly tragic is that it often besets those who have exquisitely sensitive minds and unusual intelligence. Because this movie makes you buy in utterly into the paranoiac conspiracy and phantom friends, you get a first-person empathetic view of what it's like to be in that state, how "he's bought into it so immediately...he's just like accepting it" - so did we. Even with evidence to the contrary, the delusions can come back strongly as a result of plausible deniability and the sense that everyone we know is lying to us, tricking us and hiding the truth from us; that we know much better than them because we've seen it with our own eyes it seems. It's just a few more steps to 'cloaking serums' and secret decoding stations in one's garden shed. That's the genius of this movie in depicting that to help us understand how it is even possible.

[@MindfulMya]

This film was such a beautiful one. The mind and the relationships and hope in this film.

[@itt23r]

Amazing that you recognized Bryce Dallas Howard from such a brief cameo.Enjoyed your reaction too. And yes it is one of those great movies that seems to have undeservedly fallen off the radar in more modern times. But there are so many others that you young moderns are missing out on. So if you are interested in seeing another hidden gem, from that time period consider CINDERELLA MAN. It is another collaboration between Russell Crowe and Ron Howard with Rene Zellweger as the love interest and Thomas Newman provides this time the beuatiful score that rivals the exquisite James Horner score created for this movie. Putting it bluntly, if you liked ROCKY this is story of a real Rocky who fought during the Great Depression and captured the imagination of the entire country for a while. This would be a good one for all four of you to watch together. I guarantee you'll love it. And you will also be left scratching your heads when done as to why no one has heard of this movie too.

Great reaction. Another great Ron Howard film with Russell Crowe. Cinderella Man. Also based on a true story.

[@SlugCult718]

Nash made discoveries in two areas of mathematics: game theory and geometry. In game theory, he introduced the idea of noncooperative games and proved the existence of equilibria in those games, now known as Nash equilibria. In geometry, Nash solved questions about the relationship between various models of geometry, like the embeddability of Riemannian manifolds in Euclidean space and the approximation of smooth manifolds by algebraic varieties. His main thesis was only 28 pages long, but it is still applied in economics and bargaining to this day.

[@rkstevenson5448]

I knew a guy years ago that I was helping out with a place to stay. I didn't discover until he'd moved in with us that he was schizophrenic, and then also learned that he'd gone off his meds. It was... Not a good time. He struggled with reality in a way that I think most people just can't comprehend until they see it for themselves. Even once he was back on his medication, he still struggled. And despite expressing an implicit trust in me as his friend, he still had difficulty accepting it when I'd tell him something he had witnesses or believed wasn't actually real. I moved away not long after. He'd become too erratic and I had small children. I couldn't allow him around them. I don't know what happened to him. Like so many with mental illness, he just kind of fell through the cracks and disappeared. A friend told me he saw him years later, and there was just nothing there. A vacant, unrecognizing stare. Still, I hope he has since found treatment and some measure of peace.

[@thetankgarage]

I recently watched "The Man Who Knew Infinity" which is a very similar movie. It has the same issues that this one has. You never really know where the plot is going because it's fairly adheres to the true story. I think that's why it's hard to recommend to people. It's still reliably the type of movie that makes me tear up though. Loss, evil, heroism, beauty nothing much moves me but when you depict the truth that is in the human spirit I'm all tears. The pen scene here or "please lord help me get one more" or "this pen, two more people", those scenes will just kill me reliably. I also think those moments are easier to find in real stories but they do happen in fiction. War & Peace, Anna Karenina or The Lord of the Rings all can do the same thing. PS. I actually still remembered the year he died. I remember it was covered in the news to some extent in 2015.

[@Rmlohner]

Nash was actually bisexual, but this is a rare case where "straightwashing" was to the movie's benefit, as it mostly resulted in him cheating on Alicia numerous times with both men and women, which would have just fed into harmful stereotypes about the orientation. He also never took any medications again after quitting, but that line at the end "I take the newer medications" was put in to avoid the message that people shouldn't take them.

[@sitting_nut]

​@@cokeandcheese.6617 my problem is with op's comment. here i am questioning what op said.and what he said goes far beyond "misrepresented schizophrenia". op is ok with distorting truth to push ideology driven propagandist agendas of current western ruling class. such things always end badly. as world has seen, and are seeing. truth with all the messiness is much better.

[@lesgrice4419]

Its a heavily metaphorical movie, not representational or exact with the facts, Crowe wanted this role because of the genius twists that drags us in to Nash's world until bang, the truth comes crashing in about his condition. When Brian Grazer, Hollywood producer wanted to move and make this film many screenwriters offered to write it. Akiva Goldsman as a kid lived with his parents who took care of kids with mental disorders and he himself was abused (its in the public domain) so he knew he could write it but he was a virtually unknown writer. Grazer asked him to go away and then come back and pitch him the movie. Goldsman came back, pitched what we see....Grazer cried it was so beautiful. Goldsman says the real hero is his wife Alicia who 'found' him and stuck by him. Sadly in old age they left this world together but their schizophrenic son said they had a great life and left together.

Fun fact, John Nash was actually in the same Princeton research facility with J. Robert Oppenheimer and Albert Einstein.

For a Paul Bettany Russell Crowe reunion, I HIGHLY recommend "Master & Commander" 👍😍👍

[@eliasfigarzon9813]

Hey girls if you like this type of movies that speak about these subjects you should watch aftersun. One of the best movies from the point of view of a depressive father doing everything he can to enjoy his life along his daughter, it will probably hurt you a lot, specially Stella who has such a sweet but tiny and vulnerable heart hahahaha, but I think you will like it a lot. Nice reaction as always but mainly for Hailey this time, my friend you knock it out of the park in my opinion.

Schizophrenia is better understood with better medication now. Part of the movie message along with Nash himself, is that people who struggle with mental health in our society can still possess great talent and gifts that enrich our lives. Some souls choose more challenging lives than others. Being blind or deaf is one thing, but both like Helen Keller, is incredible, as close a life of darkness as possible. Yet she survived somehow. Loving the uniqueness of each person can be a learning experience on earth.

White Noise Reacts............. "Jennifer Connelly what are you doing here?" Jennifer Connelly.................."winning an Oscar for best actress, what are you doing here?"

[@kingofbudokai]

Wait, you NEVER saw Paul Bettany in anything else? Well in that case I have 2 movies you absolutely HAVE to watch. 1: A knights tale. and 2. The Davinci Code. He's not the star in either one of them, but the fact that you haven't seen him in other movies tells me you haven't seen those 2 films and both are spectacular.

[@danesorensen1775]

Thanks for doing these early-Noughties ones. I was a teenager when this came out - like John, lacking some emotional maturity - so I missed a lot of the subtext at the time. Nash is best known for his work in Game Theory, and especially for the "Nash Equilibrium" - which I don't fully understand, but apparently neither does the movie (the example with the blonde is supposedly not a good one). FWIW, my understanding is that a Nash Equilibrium is when all players are restricted to playing the same moves over and over again, or everybody loses (nuclear war, for instance). Someone with an actual mathematics degree can fill in the rest. Edit: Re the ageing process for this movie, I can see two things straight away. One, that this rode a little bit on the "this main character is imaginary" plot twist, and that it was part of a wave of "Byronic heroes" (read: arseholes), like House MD. And secondly, that this was made when we still thought the people running the economy knew what they were doing. The little bit about the Nash Equilibrium being a critical part of modern economics is darkly hilarious given it came out the same year as the Enron scandal, which was sort of like the Hobbit to the 2008 Financial Crisis's LotR.

My friend had schizophrenia said he saw and heard demons.He was on medication but it didn’t completely get rid of the hallucinations that he saw.One day he went to visit his Grandfather and the neighbor called the police on him thinking it was his father who had a protection order against him for the grandfather.When the police officer got there he thought my friend had a protection order against him tried to arrest him,my friend resisted and wrestled the cop to the ground and the cop shot and killed him.

[@duffyheitmann4311]

Y’all should watch Nimona! It’s worth it!

[@EChacon]

More than likely for a future Animated Reacts from James and Nobu. Hailey and Stella hardly do Animated movie reactions outside of their _Corpse Bride_ and _Klaus_ group reactions last year, but I still hoping that next year for New Year’s Resolution that the Girls will do animated movie reactions for their Saturday reactions along with participating in the Animator Reacts series or have all four of them react to an animated movie for the Thursday group reactions.

[@THELANKANCOMRADE]

"I knew nothing" should be a tag line of this generation.

[@sawanna508]

Well Sokrates said "The only thing I know is that I know nothing". So admitting youd don't know everything is very wise. Besides they may know a lot of things we "older" people don't know anything about. So please can we stop picking on their generation? At some point we were the young genearation and didn't want to be judged all the time by the older ones.

[@adampare8088]

His govering dynamics. The bar scene. A scale of 0-10. If we all go for the hot blonde, someone gets a 10, other a 0. He said, how about we all go for a 5 (the friends), that way we all win. That became economic trading law (go for the 5 each, not a 10-0) and that's what won him the Nobel prize

[@manutgop]

This is a great movie, but Ron Howard took significant liberties with the story. The real John Nash has said in interviews that he didn't like the movie because of the inaccuracies. He agreed to it because he needed the money. The book of the same name by Sylvia Nasar is much better than the movie. One of the most glaring inaccuracies is that Alicia did not stay with John through his difficult years. She left him, but stayed in touch sporadically over the decades and didn't get back with him until he won the Nobel Prize. Also, the delusional manifestations of Charles Herman, William Parcher, etc. are entirely the creation of Ron Howard. Nash's delusions were never that consistent. Some aspects of Nash's life were glossed over for the movie, as well. For example, he fathered a child out of wedlock before he married Alicia. He was arrested for indecent exposure and was suspected of being a homosexual, which caused him to lose his security clearance and be fired from the Rand Corporation. He was also physically abusive to Alicia and told people that he wanted to dominate her and make her his slave. She divorced him in 1963. He didn't give any speech at the Nobel ceremony in real life.

[@buzzardbeatniks]

If you wanna see another great movie with Paul Bettany and Russell Crowe, then you should see Master and Commander (2003)

[@johnkimbert1777]

I'm shocked you guys were not aware what electroshock therapy is.

[@bobbyquinting3918]

Too much knowledge will do 1 of 2 things. It may drive you crazy because no one understands you, or it may just make you be that person that nobody likes. Einstein, Newton and Oppenheimer had to find this out the hard way.

[@vincentpuccio3689]

Love this movie especially the music track

[@EChacon]

I notice that the Girls (Hailey & Stella) haven’t uploaded a new reaction for two weeks already following their reaction to _A Beautiful Mind._ Is everything alright on the reaction side of things? Because the lack of Saturday reactions in the past two weeks is concerning and their _Stand By Me_ reaction was originally set to be uploaded last week but that hasn’t happened which means it’s dealing with copyright issues or being delayed indefinitely and be released two months later like what happened to their _Dune_ reaction which happened back in July but was not uploaded on KZbin until September, so hopefully you get this situation fixed.

[@Alex-e1o6u]

Jennifer Connelly was almost only employed as a sex-symbol in the nineties. In cool movies to watch like The Rockeeter 1991 or Dark City 1998, she clearly looks like sex-symbols of the fourties/fifties. She had to wait, the years 2000, to have roles with more depth. Requiem for a Dream 2000, A Beautiful Mind 2001, House of Sand and Fog 2003 A Beautiful Mind has a great cast, that helps to pass the rush to sum up decades. The Insider 1999 is another biopic, where Russel Crowe is facing Al Pacino, by Michael Mann (director of Heat 1995 ). There is no rush. That is an episode of the life of protagonist. But that is a drama. If you want some fun from Ron Howard, I suggest Cocoon 1985. That is a comedy-drama. But you feel the eighties vibe.

[@anamaldonado2336]

Paul bettany and Jennifer Conelly met there Rin Howard is the director This movie won Big in The academy awards un its time

[@KERRYPIKE]

Great reaction.

[@jefferyshute6641]

I'm not a doctor or expert. I've known many people with schizophrenia, both in my work and in my life. For many, medication alone is enough for them to be able live a fairly normal life. They need to take their meds as prescribed. People that suffer from schizophrenia should always seek a doctor's advice before changing their medications.

[@shainewhite2781]

Winner of 4 Oscars including Best Picture.

[@speedracer2008]

Russell Crowe delivered a great performance as the brilliant, but flawed John Nash.

[@rickdiaz6703]

Love the reaction Ladies! You should check out "Master and Commander " and "A Knights Tale". Keep up the great work .

[@kona883]

This incredible movie won 4 oscars best picture best director Jennifer for best supporting actress best writing from material previous written Russel Crowe nominated for best actor and rated 146 on IMDB top 250 movies of all time so it is a important film

[@vincentpuccio3689]

Unfortunately, Hannah‘s wife died in a car accident a few years ago

[@KMGame]

Can’t wait to see you reaction to Amadeus. I’m sure that it on top 100 movie.

[@sophiamarchildon3998]

Question for the editor: in reactions where there is a mystery/reveal, do you play along with them, or are you neutral/unbiased?

[@tizianadifronzo7314]

Please react to 'The Impossible', with Tom Holland, Ewan McGregor and Naomi Watts.. It's a true story about the tsunami in 2004 ❤

[@dansmart3182]

Have you all watched a knights tale? One of betany's amazing performances.

[@thunderstruck5484]

Please watch Cinderella Man, excellent true story , another Howard , Crowe collaboration, thanks

[@TheWindcrow]

If you like Paul Bettany and Heath Ledger you ladies should watch "A Knight's tale" it's a good comedy/romance/adventure movie.

[@samgrosky575]

I also don't like the whole professor/student dynamic in romance stories but to be fair this is a grad school, so she was atleast mid 20's.

[@lou7139]

I wasn't too bad at math and science in college but I had so much trouble with economics class. I think I had to take it twice to pass it with a C. I couldn't skip it because it was a requirement. Felt so dumb in that class. I couldn't understand anything Nash was talking about in this movie as it relates to econ. Still a good movie, though!

[@jomojojo6603]

And how did he die? He had been in Europe where he won some prize...going home on the taxi from the NY airport, the driver lost control of the car and crashed. So sad.

[@Hope2BHappy]

RIP John Nash

[@CaptainFSU]

It's silly that Russell Crowe won best actor for Gladiator and not this

[@currinwoodruffwoodruff1555]

I have a request could y’all watch Andersonville prison movie

[@blunt2416]

Love this movie. 👍

[@oliviarogers2808]

I think you guys were confusing immaturity with awkwardness.

[@keithowen3523]

If you like Russel Crow movies you might like another true story of cinderella man

[@osva3574]

Please, someone recommend that they watch Unbreakable, by M. Night Shymalan.

[@Luke17-10ministry]

Another Ron Howard and Russell Crowe collaboration is Cinderella Man, also based on a true story. Another very good movie.

[@EChacon]

I second _Cinderella Man_ and I can imagine this as a four group reaction since James and Nobu haven’t seen that movie either.

[@lordbastich]

Cinderella Man did Max Baer dirty. He wasn't this terrible person that gloated about people's deaths. I find that really inexcusable.
