2071 Chapter 2071

John's nonsense about the world situation, predictions about the Cold War, and predictions about war persecution were all proved to be true later, and John's fear was not only his personal experience, but also the collective subconsciousness of the entire era. Fear and worry. And John was considered a lunatic, and he was forcibly injected with insulin and fell into a coma. Perhaps it was the persecution of individual conscience by totalitarianism under the background of that era.

When John Nash was sent back to the United States by Europe, he thought he was bound to a ship like a slave. When this slave ship drifted wantonly on the vast ocean, Michel Foucault gave it a deeper philosophical meaning in his graduation thesis "Madness and Civilization".

If lunatics are not just lunatics, but wise men who have exposed the fundamental ills of this society, then they can only be sent to the ship of fools and drift along the current to an unknown distance. The ancient river endowed the ships with mystery, and the lunatics were sanctified and isolated, and then used as sacrifices to the social system to scare others.

After reading John's biography, relevant literature on game theory, interview documentaries and many other materials, Hugo realized that John's life was actually McMurphy in "One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest". The society brutally and cold-bloodedly deprived these social aliens of the right to resist and speak out, and suppressed them with icy and cruel means, even at the expense of killing their humanity—just like the ending of "Flying Over the Cuckoo's Nest", McMurphy was cut off With his brain stem removed, he became a real walking dead.

Hugo originally thought that John was not McMurphy, and they were after different things: what John longed for was mathematical inspiration, while what McMurphy longed for was to embrace freedom and resist power. But after a deep understanding, Hugo realized that, in essence, these two people have something in common.

But, fortunately, John waited for his own light, but McMurphy did not.

This made Hugo start to think again, did John really overcome the illness by relying on his own reason? In the process from John's illness to recovery, what role did he play, what role did his wife play, and what roles did his relatives, friends, and university colleagues play?

Anyone who has watched the movie "A Beautiful Mind" will be moved by Alicia and John's love story. John's recovery can almost be called a "miracle of love", but after Hugo really got to know it, he was really moved. It turns out that's far from the case.

Alicia chose to divorce a few years after John became ill. Of course, Alicia's efforts cannot be denied just because of this incident. Since then, Alicia has always stayed by John's side and taken good care of him relying on her meager salary. For thirty years, Alicia has stayed by John's side for more than thirty years. This emotion—whether it is love, friendship, or family affection—is worthy of admiration.

This point, Hugo has already read in the "Vanity Fair" interview. Hugo believes that this is not love, but it is better than love.

But in fact, "Vanity Fair" still has many untapped stories. John could be called a playboy during his college days. At that time, he was "handsome as a god", tall and slender, well-proportioned, and had the handsome features of an English aristocrat.

At the age of twenty-five he fell in love with a nurse, Eleanor, and had an illegitimate child; he met Alicia, then a student of his, who had always admired John , After some scheming, she won his love, and the two of them kept secret; about a year later, Eleanor discovered the affair between John and Alicia, which made Eleanor furious and told John about the affair His father, Nash Sr., in consideration of an illegitimate child, urged John and Eleanor to get married, but John's friends strongly opposed it, thinking that the gap between Eleanor and John was too great.

Not long after, Nash Sr. died, and John left Eleanor and got together with Alicia, and the two got married smoothly.

After a few years of quiet living, John and Alicia divorced. After that, Alicia never got married again, but stayed by John's side all the time, but this was not the case for John. During his long illness, John met many different people and developed relationships— — both same-sex and opposite-sex — and several of them went to the marriage stage.

In short, before and after marrying Alicia, John has always been restless. His marriage to Alicia is not his only one, and behind Alicia's thirty years of companionship—— His love life is wonderful. This is only the information that Hugo has learned, and he has no way to determine whether Alicia has had other relationships in those thirty years. Even if there is, no one can blame Alicia, because it is her freedom of.

The beautiful love depicted in the 2001 edition of "A Beautiful Mind" is fragmented in real life. Perhaps, Alicia played an important role in John's recovery process; perhaps, thirty years of companionship is not love, but more friendship; perhaps, the movie is a fairy tale after all, and reality is reality after all.

Hugo had no intention of judging John Nash, but he had to find an angle to tell his story. But now, the more he knows, the more confused Hugo becomes, and the more he doesn't know what to do. It seems that there is a vast ocean in front of me—this is a person’s long and glorious life, even if it is only counted from John’s admission to Princeton University in 1948, it has been 50 years, and I want to capture a part of it Or a part, concentrated description, this is definitely a difficult task.

Hugo already knew that this would be a difficult job, but now that he had investigated all the information, he was even more clueless.

After serious thinking, Hugo returned to Princeton for the second time—he had arrived at Princeton University and stayed for nearly a week when he decided to adapt the next work. Princeton University is not only the place where John developed game theory, but also the place where he stayed for many years after he finished working as a professor at MIT. Until now, John has lived in Princeton University.

Hugo came to Princeton University again, hoping to find inspiration in the environment that John is most familiar with. In addition, Hugo also inquired about relevant news through Rick, and wanted to see if he could have a face-to-face conversation with John to really communicate. Not just to adapt the script, but also to play the role.

This time Hugo stayed for three full weeks, and did not return to Los Angeles until before Christmas. Returning home in a hurry, Hugo saw Charlize who was pressing her legs in the courtyard. She went straight to meet him and wanted to take the suitcase in Hugo's hand. Hugo refused, but Charlize still insisted. He took it over, "I arrived an hour earlier than expected. I thought the paparazzi would trap you in the city and not let you back until sunset."

Hugo pressed a kiss on Charlize's forehead, and shook his head, "There are not many people at the airport. There are so many movies released recently, and everyone is busy." In fact, Hugo's departure and return trips are relatively low-key , did not attract much media attention. In New Jersey, there were no reporters to bother, leaving a good environment for Hugo's work.

Charlize and Hugo walked into the hall, put the suitcase aside, went to the kitchen and poured a cup of coffee, "So, how's the harvest?"

"Uh, I met with Professor Nash three times and talked for... how many hours?" Hugo found a comfortable seat and sat down, "But I didn't quite understand what he said. I thought it was right I have a good enough understanding of game theory, but when I actually talk to him, it is still Chinese for me." When people describe the incomprehensible scriptures, they are used to expressing it in this way.

Hugo's words made Charlize chuckle, "I remember you can read and speak Chinese well." This little humor made Hugo's lips part.

After taking the coffee and putting it on the tea table, Hugo patted the seat beside him, watched Charlize sit down, then adjusted his position, lay his head on Charlize's lap, closed his eyes and He let out a long breath, "Although I still don't know much about professional things-you can leave these things to professionals, but I have a more intuitive experience with Professor Nash. Different from the documentary That kind of feeling, Professor Nash in life is more... silent, lonely, downcast, and even a little embarrassed, I almost forgot that he is now seventy years old."

Although Hugo has starred in two real-life biographies, he has never actually met the person he plays, and this time, he will play John Nash-a living person who is still real. Therefore, the opportunity to directly contact John is very precious to Hugo.

"Then that's a good thing. I'm already expecting you to outline a John Nash from your own perspective." Charlize lightly brushed the hair in front of Hugo's forehead, looking at Hugo's slightly oily face , there are still some tired shadows under the eye sockets, this kind of Hugo is not perfect, but it makes Charlize feel unprecedentedly perfect. Her palm can feel Hugo's body temperature, her nose can feel Hugo's breath, her body can feel Hugo's existence...

Hugo still closed his eyes, which made him feel safe, and he pulled his lips and laughed, "No, I don't think so. I think the more I know Professor Nash, including Nash's wife and son, the more I feel helpless. I started, as if there were countless thoughts in my mind, but I couldn't sort them out at all. Now I finally understand why biography is so difficult to shoot, because the language of movies is still too pale compared to a person's real life."

Charlize was amused by Hugo's words, and gently massaged Hugo's shoulder, "Then don't think about adapting the script for now, why don't you tell me anecdotes about your time in Princeton these few weeks Woolen cloth?"
