Review: A Beautiful Film! - Ron Howard's Biopic of mathematician John Nash is a triumph in all departments. Yes the story is incomplete and some parts of John's life have been left out, but this is a good thing as a true and faithful account of anybodies whole life would not be a movie, it would be a documentary. Luckily for us the writers have decided what is important and what is not, and as a result of that disciplined approach have written a film that is superb from beginning to the end. Following John's life from 1948 at Princeton to the Nobel Prize 46 years later we learn about his overwhelming desire to come up with a truly unique and original idea that over time drives him to near insanity. Not what you might think would make a riveting and memorable film that won four Oscars including Best Picture 10 years ago. However you would be wrong. Ron Howard handles a delicate and not on the face of it, commercial subject with authority. He ensnares the viewer with flair and imaginative visuals, not to compensate for a dull story as some other directors do, but to enhance our feeling of involvement. When John starts to hallucinate we are at first not aware of it, just like John, later when we learn a little more, we are. This technique gave me a feeling of being part of the story, rather than just a passive viewer from outside. James Horner's wonderful Oscar nominated Score is now on my CD shelf and is played often. A beautiful haunting and mischievous piece that compliments the film no end. It is however in the end a film that will succeed of fail based on the leading man who takes on the role. That man was Russell Crowe. Whether you love or loath him Russell gives his best performance ever by some margin and it is a disgrace that he lost out on the Best Actor Oscar. He should have walked it. Sometimes films just come along and just seem to work even when you think the shouldn't. This is one of those films. Review: A great film! - If you haven't seen this movie, I do not want to give spoilers in my review, so I will just say that this is a great story and a lovely journey. It is the story of John Nash, a maths prodigy who has changed the way in which we view the world. However, this story, while it does say a little about the math, is a much bigger story. It is a poignant love story. It is a story about friendship and how friendships endure despite the problems they undergo. It is a story about paranoia (a large part is set in the 50s/60s America when the populace felt threatened by the USSR and by nuclear bombs) It's a story about mental health and illness. It is a story about success - even when we think we have failed. It's heart-warming, sad, funny, roller-coaster of a brilliant ride. Well written, well acted, well directed and best of all, true. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B0001E5TK6 | | Actors | Adam Goldberg, Ed Harris, Jennifer Connelly, Paul Bettany, Russell Crowe | | Aspect Ratio | 16:9 - 1.78:1 | | Best Sellers Rank | 4,412 in DVD & Blu-ray ( See Top 100 in DVD & Blu-ray ) 100 in Portable DVD & Blu-ray Players 1,552 in Drama (DVD & Blu-ray) | | Country of origin | United Kingdom | | Customer reviews | 4.6 4.6 out of 5 stars (3,074) | | Director | Ron Howard | | Dubbed: | Hungarian | | Is discontinued by manufacturer | No | | Item model number | 5051188121037 | | Language | English (Dolby Digital 5.1), Hungarian (Dolby Digital 5.1), Italian (Dolby Digital 5.1) | | Media Format | PAL | | Number of discs | 1 | | Producers | Brian Grazer, Ron Howard | | Product Dimensions | 13.7 x 19.2 x 1.7 cm; 80 g | | Release date | 17 April 2019 | | Run time | 2 hours and 10 minutes | | Studio | Paramount Home Entertainment | | Subtitles: | English, Hungarian | | Writers | Akiva Goldsman | ## Product Details - **Format:** PAL - **Genre:** Drama, Biography, Mystery Thrillers, Drama - **Language:** English - **Runtime:** 2 hours and 10 minutes ## Images ![A Beautiful Mind [DVD] [2002] - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/91R6aut+N4L.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A Beautiful Film! *by G***N on 14 May 2012* Ron Howard's Biopic of mathematician John Nash is a triumph in all departments.

I really enjoyed it and Russell Crowe is great - as ever. What a pity that the mathematician does not seem to have been as sympathetic in real life, although I suppose it would have ruined the story's "Ah factor" if the marriage ended much earlier in divorce....as it really did. Still, watched as partly fiction, it was an enjoyable experience which I would recommend. ## Frequently Bought Together - A Beautiful Mind [DVD] [2002] - The Insider [DVD] [2000] --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co.ke/products/50358177-a-beautiful-mind-dvd-2002](https://www.desertcart.co.ke/products/50358177-a-beautiful-mind-dvd-2002) --- *Product available on Desertcart Kenya* *Store origin: KE* *Last updated: 2026-06-20*
