Chapter 2146 Chapter 2146: A Beautiful Mind
The film begins when John Nash enters Princeton University.
John has a withdrawn and eccentric personality, is not good at dealing with people, and is obsessed with the study of mathematics. On the first day of the orientation meeting for freshmen, he confronts his strongest competitor Martin Hansen head-to-head, and he has nothing to do with it. He taunted Martin mercilessly. Both of them are famous Carnegie Scholarship recipients. In previous years, only one person received the scholarship, but this year it was an exception to be shared by two people, and the two will compete for the Wheeler Institute together. There is only one research position.
While all the freshmen were enjoying the joy of entering school, John fled back to the dormitory, hiding in a corner with envious eyes. At this moment, John's roommate Charles Herman appeared. This self-proclaimed "prodigal son" roommate had the opposite character of John. He was bohemian and rebellious, which almost made John feel at a loss.
However, Charles' initiative and strength lead John out of his "comfort zone" step by step, and the two independent individuals who are like north and south poles unexpectedly become friends.
Just when Martin was enjoying "beating" his classmates and enjoying the thrill of victory; just as Martin and other students were keen to prove those existing theories and show their talents...John, like a paranoid patient, fanatically Trying to find my own research direction, trying to find a brand new theory, and seeking a breakthrough in an unproven field. He will study the game pattern of rugby players, the scale of pigeons scrambling for bread crumbs, and the pattern of a woman chasing robbers who robbed her purse... In the eyes of others, John looks like a "crazy" and sneers at him every day , thinks he's just a total loser, a total lunatic.
Although John was never willing to admit defeat, in front of Charles, John was frank. In fact, Martin's success over and over again made him confused, even scared—because he couldn't even think of the topic of his doctoral thesis. In fact, John has been trying to study game theory, hoping to make a breakthrough.
But John was trapped in his "original theory", and even graduation was a problem. John was like a wild animal trapped in a cage. He even hurt himself and accidentally bumped into the window handle, dripping with blood. Charles tried to help John, but John seemed to be crazy, and began to wrestle with Charles. At the extreme moment of losing his mind, Charles pushed John's table by the window back directly, and hit the ground hard. He laughed heartily.
John is a joke in the entire mathematics department. Martin and others enjoy beer and the joy of chasing women every day, but John is trapped in his original theory and is at a loss. Martin and the others always like to play tricks on John and encourage John chased the top beauties in the bar, and then enjoyed the moment when John made an embarrassment in front of the beauties, but unexpectedly, John had a flash of inspiration, and suddenly wanted to understand the truth of game theory!
Five beauties appeared in the bar, among them, the blond beauty was undoubtedly the target of everyone, and the blond beauty also enjoyed the joy of everyone's competition. Martin and his party consisted of four people, plus John, a total of five people. They matched the five beauties just right, so they all encouraged John to strike up a conversation with the blonde beauty and tease John again. No, but this gave John inspiration.
"If everyone went after the blonde, they would all be wiped out, and no one would get her, and then we would go to her girlfriends, and they would definitely reject us, because no one wants to be a second choice. But if No one is chasing that blonde beauty, we don't violate each other, and we don't humiliate other girls, only in this way can everyone win, and only in this way can everyone have a chance to have sex."
In Adam Smith's theory, the best results require everyone on the team to do their part. But John thinks this is incomplete, because the best results require everyone on the team to do what is good for themselves and for the group.
This is game theory!
But no one believed John, each of them thought this was just the most typical John-he was crazy again, but John shouted passionately, "Game theory, this is game theory, Adam Smith, he wrong!"
The fanatic John returned to the dormitory. After winter, spring and summer, John wrote a paper on game theory! This paper of only twenty-seven pages had a sensational effect, because it overturned the 150-year-old economic theory foundation since Adam Smith, which also made John famous in one fell swoop and directly entered Wheeler's research Room, climbed to the top overnight!
Martin, who had been sneering at John before, finally had to lower his proud head.
Nicholas was very focused during the viewing process, especially the experience of "The Sixth Sense of the Spirit" not long ago, which made him 100% devoted to tonight. In the first twenty-five minutes of the movie, he could clearly feel Hugo's control over the script, telling the story with the advent of game theory as the main line, and the simple and clear structure used the most concise way for John to climb from the trough to the peak Outlined by the language, not only brought out a small climax, but also completely shaped the role of John Nash.
On the one hand, Hugo’s excellent control of the script, within just 25 minutes, controlled the characters on stage to a certain range, not only did not tell the story into a running account, but also created a fascinating effect in a small format; on the one hand, Hugo's performance almost shaped the character with every gesture, nervous, sensitive, simple, focused, vulnerable, withdrawn, kind, even the walking posture, speaking rhythm and smiling appearance, you can feel that kind of character. Delicate and true power.
Although it is a biographical film, the opening chapter of "A Beautiful Mind" is not only not cold at all, but also amazing. After all, journals are the most taboo for albums and movies. On the contrary, the opening chapter of "A Beautiful Mind" surpassed "Walking on Death Row", and even surpassed "Schindler's List", which made people want to continue reading.
Attention returned to the movie, and five years passed in a blink of an eye. John Nash has become the backbone of Wheeler's research laboratory. He was invited to the Pentagon to help the army decipher the code intercepted from Moscow. John used his sensitivity to numbers to successfully crack the code-these are latitude and longitude, marking the sequence of routes entering the US border.
The general was full of praise for John's outstanding performance. He accidentally noticed someone on the second floor paying attention to him, and asked, "Who is the big boss?"
The general didn't understand what John meant, and just replied, "You have done a lot for the country." Then he asked the soldiers to send him out, and he didn't want to give away any information about the Soviet Union, so he just let him go.
This is John's second visit to the Pentagon within four years, but he has always been just a prop to decipher the code. In the newspapers, you can always see news that the Soviet Union's military reserves are getting stronger and stronger, and the European continent is on the receiving end. Cui is also getting more and more rampant, John hopes to help, but there is no way - he can only do pressure tests for the dam.
Because Princeton University provides research laboratories and related equipment, in exchange, John was required to go to Princeton University to give lectures. John was very repulsed by this, but he had to compromise and could only go depressed. But to John's surprise, the class was not as difficult as he imagined, because he met Alicia, a bright and sharp, wise and stubborn student.
When Charlize and Hugo appeared on the big screen at the same time, there was laughter in the cinema, and many people even began to whistle. Most of these people are Hugo's acquaintances, so they didn't give Hugo face, and they booed mercilessly, making Hugo and Charlize really dumbfounded.
After the lecture, William Parcher appeared—the man he had seen at the Pentagon earlier, he called himself "Big Boss" and showed John his police badge. He was a member of the Department of Defense. As soon as Willian came on stage, the scene once again buzzed -- this time because of Leonardo DiCaprio.
William quickly convinced John that the atomic bomb project was completed under his supervision, and William was responsible for the implementation of the two atomic bombs dropped on Japan. This impressed John.
William took John to an underground secret laboratory next to the Wheeler Institute, where countless staff were trying to intercept and decipher information from the Soviet Union. William said that the Soviet Union is now trying to make a lightweight atomic bomb, which reminded John of the message he deciphered at the Pentagon not long ago, and William asked John to help them decipher the information released by the Soviet spies in the United States-they released it through newspapers and magazines Encrypted messages - stop disaster before it happens.
John agreed to William's request, and they implanted a bipolar diode in John's left hand, which would change the password regularly, which was the password that allowed John to enter the deposit point. Thus, John officially became a "spy".
In the midst of busy work, Alicia took the initiative to come to the door, because John was absent from today's lecture, and Alicia solved the topic left by John last week, which was completely beyond John's expectations. However, Alicia's solution is very good, but the answer is wrong-this surprised Alicia who is full of confidence.
The accident was not over yet, and Alicia took the initiative to invite John to have dinner together, which really made John at a loss, and even became restrained because he was too nervous. But John finally nodded in agreement, asked her to leave her address, and planned to pick her up for dinner on Friday.
On the first date, John took Alicia to a private banquet hosted by the governor. Alicia, who was dressed up, looked like a fairy, glamorous and incomparable.
