A Must-watch Movie!


Although it was quite outdated but if you are studying economics, mathematics, political science, commerce or at least, psychology, you must watch this great movie – A Beautiful mind. It is a human drama about the struggle of a true genius, inspired by events in the life of john Forbes Nash, Jr.., and in part based on the biography A Beautiful Mind by Sylvia Nasar, directed by Ron Howard and produced by Brian Grazer.

Here is the shortened synopsis: A mathematical genius, John Nash (Rusell Crowe) made an astonishing discovery early in life and stood on the brink of international acclaim. But his prodigious career was sidetracked by problems that would have broken many men – paranoid schizophrenia (you can Google it). Nash with the encouragement and love of his wife, however, fought back. After many years of struggle, he triumphed over tragedy and literally changed the world with his work, Nash equilibrium in non-cooperative game. He won the 1994 Nobel Memorial Prize in Economic Sciences. Even until today, you can’t actually declare yourself as an economic student if you do not know Nash Equilibrium.
