A Beautiful Mind

I watched A Beautiful Mind for e 1st time tt night on tv i think about 2 weeks ago on a sunday night...

At first i was kind of worried i'll fall asleep coz i was very tired... I figured tt these films r better watched at e theatres than at home due to e heavy dialogue content... But i decided to watch it still, coz i didnt wan to miss it for e 2nd time, coz i missed it at e theatres...

To my surprise, e show is tt gd... Tt it caught my attention fr right e beginning... Russel Crowe is sooo gd... He really live his characters... I enjoy all his recent series of films...

In e fact, e westerners at Prinston Uni actually plays chinese Wei Qi, tts so amazing... I had always wanted to learn it after watching Qi Ling Wang... But i figured tt i'll be surrounded by old mans at e Wei Qi centre... But i jus got Shuzhen to join me, coz she said she wanted to learn as well, maybe one day we'll go take a look at e fees... Singapore seems to haf only one Wei Qi centre...

Which was y i asked her to lend me Qi Ling Wang again... Haha, to relive e moment... Wei Qi is a type of chinese chess, where theres a huge wooden box, which sometimes comes wif legs... E chess pieces come in black and white and look small small pebbles which r stored in 2 rounded containers... I saw a lousy version at popular, e board is jus a piece of paper, and e game cost about $12...

I saw a mini version of e whole actual thing at causeway, i think its about 30+... Im hopin to buy it though...

Back to e show...

E show touches me coz its a real life story of a Nobel Prize winner who suffers fr havings illusions... In his entire life, he created 3 imaginery characters and he couldnt separate them fr imaginery or reality... For a long time, he thought he was a secret agent for breaking confidential codes to locate e atomic bombs for wars in a high tech advanced organisation... When in actual fact, none of wat e initially story showed were true... It was all his own imagination... But he couldnt tell e diff...

But to his strong will and his deep love for his wife... He refused to go under observations and medications, where he'll be placed in a asylum like place so tt he will not endanger others... He will also haf to be forced to take medications and treatments which will zonk him till he couldnt work or think properly or even be a husband or man...

By himself, his determination overcomed his condition and managed to keep it under control... He continues a normal life while ignorin his 3 imaginery frenz, of which one was his best fren when he was studyin... E 3 frenz however, continues to follow him even till his hair has turned all white, hopin one day tt he will speak to them again...

He received his Nobel Prize at a old age... And e makeup is excellent tt i can already see how Russel Crowe look like in his 70s...

Its a great show... Watch it if u haven...
