It is VERY Hollywood. Alicia his ewife was a hot white college student of his. In real life Alicia was from El Salvador and had a degree from MIT whom he married in 1957 and divorced in 1963 after began being treated for his mental disorder in 1959. in 1970 John became the border of Alica and they eventually remarried in 2001. All of this was missing plus his first son whom he abandoned when he found out his girl friend told him that she was carrying his child whom he believed was below him in society.

I say skip the movie though the graphics of his thought process was really neat.

> Can anyone recommend A Beautiful Mind, i'm kinda put off by the description in here which makes it sound very hollywoodised [2]?

It is quite holliwoodised indeed. As I recall there is not much about the work of Nash in there and a lot about his illness, love life, ... The only part with any maths is the protagonist writing equations on walls.

The movie is very hollywood, however the book is both detailed and interesting. I would recommend giving it a read.
