Well he imagines that the government put a timer in his wrist but as he later finds out (by trying to cut it out) it was no longer there.

There was another movie with a man with a clock inside his wrist but i cant remember what it is called.

The movie is based on a true story, recalling the real illness of the professor John Nash. I believe his wife's name was Alicia. The plot was very close to Nash's life, but there are some discrepancies . For example, the real Nash suffered from only auditory delusions, not visual ones (movie producers found this harder to show), and his personality was slightly misrepresented- he was more callous in reality. Other than that, the details of the movie are essentially true.

The biggest fear portrayed in John Nash's illness in the movie was the concept of not having a grip on reality; not knowing what is real and what is not. In the case of schizophrenia, one suffers from visual and auditory delusions, and a skewed perception of reality, which they perceive to be real. This can become very confusing and give someone the traditional feeling of being "crazy."

In A Beautiful Mind, John Nash himself acts an an antagonist. His own mind prevents him from functioning in society, and gets in the way of his work.

A Beautiful Mind - book - was created in 1998.

She is John Nash's wife and she makes sure the people of his imagination don't dominate his reality.

The true story of prominent mathematician John Forbes Nash Jr. is the subject of this biographical drama from director Ron Howard. Russell Crowe stars as the brilliant but arrogant and conceited professor Nash. The prof seems guaranteed a rosy future in the early '50s after he marries beautiful student Alicia (Jennifer Connelly) and makes a remarkable advancement in the foundations of "game theory," which carries him to the brink of international acclaim. Soon after, John is visited by Agent William Parcher (Ed Harris), from the CIA, who wants to recruit him for code-breaking activities. But evidence suggests that Nash's perceptions of reality are cloudy at best; he is struggling to maintain his tenuous hold on sanity, and Alicia suspects a diagnosis of paranoid schizophrenia. Battling decades of illness with the loyal Alicia by his side, Nash is ultimately able to gain some control over his mental state, the book of by Sylvia Nasar

because the older types of anti psychotic medication had horrible side effects, such as joint and muscle pain. also many mentally ill patients feel like the medication numbs the good parts of themselves, for john nash I imagene it made concentrating on complicated maths equations difficult and it stopped his delusions which he may have still believed were real. I guess you'd need to ask him for his own reasons but thats my experienced opinion.

The moral lesson you can get from the movie "A Beautiful Mind" is that we have to fight and face all the struggles that come to our lives for the the people that loves us. And whatever disorder may come to us we can overcome from it.

He was the psychiatrist who helped John Nash with his Schizophrenia.

Yes. Crowe's performance as real-life mathematician John Nash, Jr. in "A Beautiful Mind" earned hima third consecutive Best Actor nomination. He was nominated in the category for "The Insider" (1999) and won for his performance in "Gladiator" (2000).

There is Charles who was John's roomate and Parcher who was the guy that like ran John's "secret missions" stuff

John nash... they actually show his son in the movie, Nash Jr.

What it symbolizes is that Nash was accepted and recognized in the mathematics community for his accomplishments. However, the scene in the movie A Beautiful Mind (2001) in which Princeton University mathematics professors ritualistically present pens to Nash was completely fabricated in Hollywood. No such custom exists.
