Chapter 2150： Warm tears

The movie was over, almost for the first time, the warm applause of "Papa Papa" surged again. This time it was no longer the applause of the Nobel Prize award ceremony in the film, but the applause of all the audience on the scene of the entire movie theater. , The thunderous sound reverberated continuously in the audience, which could not be subdued for a long time.

This is an internal preview. It is not a premiere or a click-on screening. It is just an internal preview. All the real professionals are present. They only need to put forward their own opinions. There is no need to use politeness at all. Applause expressed praise. But at this time, the turbulent applause was endless, and similar touches and approvals could be seen from almost everyone's face, and the excited expression gleamed in the dim subtitle lights of the big screen.

Hugo stood up first, but found that Charlize was still sitting on the spot, motionless, he couldn't help bending down, looking down at Charlize, and then found that Charlize was bursting into tears at this time, which shocked Hugo. Jump, he squatted down quickly, keeping his sight level with Charlize, and said, "What's the matter?"

Charlize saw Hugo's worried expression, but he laughed, her tears and nose made her look embarrassed, and then she shook her head, "No, I just found out how lucky I am to have you. "The words made Hugo stunned. Charlize saw Hugo's stunned expression, and the smile on the corners of his mouth bloomed completely, and then he lowered his head and made a deep impression on Hugo's lips. kiss.

Only by watching the "Beautiful Mind" in the movie theater can I know how outstanding Hugo's performance is. He almost interprets John Nash's every move to his soul, that eccentric mathematical genius, and the painful illness of schizophrenia. Suffering, the lonely and helpless soul calling for help... through the big screen.

Charlize once thought that "Death Row" should be the pinnacle of Hugo's performance. Although the later "L.A. Confidential" and "Trumen's World" are not inferior, they are subject to the relationship between the roles and themes, and the overall completion is still It's not as good as "walking on death row." But today, Charlize knows that Hugo has once again achieved self-transcendence. In the work "Beautiful Mind", the charm of performance and the charm of characters are brought to the extreme.

Charlize was very fortunate that she didn't stop Hugo when the film was shot, but stayed with him. Otherwise, she would miss the moment when this man shined brightly. At this moment, Charlize is so grateful, grateful that it has never been before, and happiness is slowly overflowing.

The temperature on Hugo’s lips slowly moved away. He opened his eyes and saw Charlize’s brilliant eyes. The curvature of the corners of his mouth followed up with it. He lifted his right hand and gently used the thumb of his thumb. Wipe clean the tear marks on Charlize's cheeks, "You don't want everyone to see what you look like now, although I don't mind." The atmosphere of happiness was broken in an instant, Charlize raised his hand and gave it to Hugo. Punched in the chest, gritted his teeth and bitterly.

The lights of the cinema slowly turned on, revealing a hazy halo, completely driving the darkness away. Hugo helped Charlize to stand. The two people were surrounded by enthusiastic applause from all directions. The hot and joyful eyes made the atmosphere of the entire movie theater continue to rise.

Nicholas walked up, still clapping in his hands, and reached Hugo's ear and said, "Are you sure this is not the sequel of'Before Sunrise'?" This teasing made Hugo laugh.

Strictly speaking, "Beautiful Mind" is far from the biography of John Nash. It is more like a love movie. The main story line is around how John defeated schizophrenia, and John and Alicia His love has always been carried out and has become the true theme of the movie.

This also makes the strong chemical reaction between Hugo and Charlize come into play, even a simple eye exchange makes people excited.

Soon after, the "Los Angeles Times" wrote a film review under the title "The Beauty of Accompanying Each Other to the End of Life".

"The'Spiritual Sixth Sense' tells a touching and beautiful story centered on the affection between mother and child; while the'Beautiful Heart' tells a great life with a tangled, tender, and compassionate love story as the center!

John Nash, the proponent of game theory, completely changed the cornerstone and structure of modern economic theory, and was the winner of the 1994 Nobel Prize in Economics. This is a great life, he has almost reached the highest point of human society, and his name is deeply engraved in the annals of history, eternally immortal. Just like Adam Smith.

But it is not easy to tell this great life, because the great ‘game theory’ is just a doctoral dissertation by John, only 27 pages. It is too difficult to make such an achievement into a movie. Now Hugo has done it.

The film used less than one-third of the space, exquisite and concise, yet passionately told about the birth of game theory, impassioned, exhilarating, but in a few words, the role of John Nash was portrayed. It’s amazing that Hugo Lancaster has masterful control over the script; what’s even more amazing is that for the remaining two thirds, the movie tells us about John Nash’s wonderful but ups and downs life, and at the same time Reveals the most profound and important theme of the film: schizophrenia.

Like many paranoid scientists, John also has his own quirks and persistence, as well as his own pursuits and fears. He always lives in his own world and refuses to communicate with the outside world—or he doesn’t know how to communicate. So he unfortunately suffered from schizophrenia.

For many people, schizophrenia is equivalent to neurosis and lunatic.

In the fifties and sixties when John lived, almost everyone cast a strange look. They regarded him as a lunatic and an outlier. They looked at him up and down with repulsive and fearful eyes and laughed. Looking at him, it seems that his difference is the biggest joke in life, and it has become a spice in their daily life. Even if he is a genius, he has intelligence and wisdom in the field of mathematics that ordinary people cannot match; even if he put forward game theory, it has challenged the economic theory of the past 150 years; even if he became the top research institute The members here have lived a life that people admire... But he is still an alien, and he can't find a sense of existence anywhere.

In fact, it's not just John. In real life, countless people suffering from schizophrenia-and any person with mental or psychological illnesses will be considered lunatics. Just a simple vocabulary defines this group of people. It is even more offensive than words like women, blacks, and homosexuals. It drives them to a corner where there is no way out, and treats them with eyes, expressions, and words. Proceed to trial.

People are always afraid of unknown things, because they don't know how to deal with it, because they don't know what impact it will have, so they always habitually reject, even encircle and eliminate them. For schizophrenia, no one knows how to treat it—at least under the current medical conditions, there is still no drug that can'cure' this disease. It can only be slowly guided by a psychologist. Therefore, people always Subconsciously avoiding, repelling, and resisting, as if this is an infectious disease, and as if it is an incurable disease, and as if one can override the other party, despising, mocking, and teasing each other.

However, the film uses delicate brushstrokes to tell us the pain and struggle hidden behind schizophrenia-they are actually no different from us, they are just ordinary people who are sick, and this disease makes them suffer. , Almost overwhelmed, can only watch life as fragmented, but can't do anything about it.

No one can understand their pain, and no one can help their condition. Simple and rude insulin injections are just killing their souls and spirits, just like flying over a lunatic asylum, suppressing his mind in the most direct and cruel way The nature of li-maybe what is strangling today is a kind of'disease', then tomorrow's yearning for freedom is also regarded as a kind of disease, so should it also be strangled? So, will John Nash become another McMurphy?

Fortunately, Alicia is by John's side.

This is not a typical John Nash biography. Hugo polished or even adapted the story. It did not truly present John’s life. Except for Alicia, the other characters are all fictitious; but it is just one. A typical biography of a schizophrenic patient, Hugo used his words to tell a true and moving story.

Alicia and John fell in love Facing John’s illness, she was shaken, regretted, angry, and even collapsed. She also thought about leaving. The pressure of life made her count. She wanted to give up for the second time, but the power of love made her choose to stay. She stood by John's side from beginning to end and became his most important partner.

This is this love, a true and deep love, like a light in the night, helping John to walk slowly and stagger in the darkness, and get out of the predicament little by little. What John never needs is a'pill', but trust, a trust that has no conditions, no doubts, betrayal, and no strange vision. And this trust that comes from love has become the most important thing in the chaotic and fuzzy world. The dazzling sunlight illuminates his entire world.

Is this the true story? No, reality is always crueler than movies, even biographies. In real life, Alicia chose to divorce John, but just stay by his side. As a friend, the movie just tells a beautiful and unreal fairy tale.

But it is this fairy tale that tells us a truth: not only medicine, but also emotion and trust can be healed. Alicia has become John's companion on the Nobel stage, and will never leave it. This is beautiful and moving.

Schizophrenia is not a madman, but a disease. That ray of sunlight will be a guide in the darkness. "
