Anyone seen A Beautiful Mind yet? I watched it in Ottawa and it was amazing! :o
But I don't want to spoil anything just yet. Other than a couple of my favorite lines.
- Charles: Yes. But pizza - now, pizza I have enormous respect for. And of course beer.
Nash: I have respect for beer. I have respect for beer!
- Nash: Classes will dull your mind, destroy the potential for authentic creativity. (AGREED!)
- Nash: There has to be a mathematical explanation for how bad that tie is.
- Nash: Terrified... mortified... petrified... stupefied... by you.
- Charles: Nothing's ever for sure, John. That's the only sure thing I do know. (Tok much?)
- Dr. Rosen: Imagine if you suddenly learned that the people, the places, the moments most important to you were not gone, not dead, but worse, had never been. What kind of hell would that be?
- Nash: If we all go for the blonde and block each other, not a single one of us is going to get her. So then we go for her friends, but they will all give us the cold shoulder because no on likes to be second choice. But what if none of us goes for the blonde? We won't get in each other's way and we won't insult the other girls. It's the only way to win. It's the only way we all get laid.
And there we go. :) Like any of the quotes?

I've been re-watching "A Beautiful Mind" lately, after it was mentioned in class. You've picked out several of the good lines in the movie. Charles claim of knowledge of his ignorance echoes Socrates - "I know that I do not know" or something like that. Kind of interesting when you consider revelations about Charles later in the film.
ReplyDeleteAs for the last line you mention, it just goes to show that mathematics is useful in many contexts. :-)
Haha, the last quote is amazing. I laughed my butt off when that part of the movie happened, and when he got denied by the one girl at the bar.
ReplyDeleteThat is interesting about Charles too, never thought of that. I honestly thought that Nash would realize that Charles and the girl are figments of his mind because when she runs through one of the fields the pigeons don't react. And in the beginning of the movie he was studying their movement and such. :P
