A Beautiful Mind
A mathematician who goes mad is not a subject most directors consider commercially attractive, but then Ran Howard isn’t among most directors. Despite an impressive list of credits, A Beautiful Mind is his most successful work to date, combining a psychological drama with a moving love story to produce a film that is as interesting as it is entertaining.
The Oscar winning Russell Crowe has put himself in line for further honors with his acting John Nash, the Nobel Prize winning mathematician troubled by schizophrenia (精神分裂症). A Beautiful Mind pictures Nash as an unusual hero,not just because of his academic achievements but also because of the courage he displays while battling his illness.
In 1947, Nash was one of many great young minds at Princeton. “To find a truly original idea is the only way to distinguish myself,” the proud and determined student declared. His exploration of such an idea afforded him little time for the normal socializing. His shyness and straight forward approach brought him few friends.
After finally hitting on a revolutionary new idea, Nash’s career took off and his reputation as secured. He balanced research work with teaching, which is where he met the bright and beautiful student Alicia (played by Jennifer Connelly). Things in his life were going well when his talent for code breaking brought him to the attention of the military that employed him during the early stage of the cold war with Russia. However, the stress of his work made Nash’s illness develop.
Crowe’s performance is perfect. He and Connelly ignite (make something exciting) the film’s passionate love story and Connelly’s wonderful performance makes the audience moved by Alicia, whose courage, strength and faith in her husband are the primary reasons for his recovery.
This passage is most probably ________.
A. a book review B. a movie review C. a movie poster D. an advertisement
Which can replace the underlined phrase “hitting on” in the fourth paragraph?
A. coming up with B. coming on C. putting on D. putting up with
The following statements are true EXCEPT that _______.
A. John Nash did not go mad totally
B. Ran Howard is an outstanding director
C. the stress of the academic work caused Nash’s illness
D. Nash’s concentration on his work and his shyness brought him few friends
We can infer from the text that _______.
A. John Nash volunteered to serve in the army in spite of his illness
B. John Nash gave up his career when troubled by schizophrenia
C. Russell Crowe won another Oscar Award after this movie
D. without Alicia, John Nash wouldn’t have recovered from his illness
