美麗心靈電影賞析英文

Ⅰ 誰有美麗心靈的英文影評

A Beautiful Mind is an excellent drama that has everything you would want: suspense, sadness, happiness, comedy, an engrossing plot, and good characters (although it doesn't have any real action, except for one sequence that comes to mind). It follows the life of John Nash (acted by Russel Crowe), a mathematician who graated from Princeton. If you don't have any background on the movie before watching it (like me), then there is a pretty nice plot twist towards the beginning that completely changes the direction of the film.

The film is excellent at illustrating the troubles that Nash encounters throughout his career. Its one of those things that just thinking about could drive you insane. But there are plenty of supporting characters (and opposing characters, that are quite complex) to help him out. In the end, the film gives a feel-good conclusion.

I didn't find the film to be spectacular in any one category, but everything came together to make a neat experience. Its one of those films where you are introced to a completely different personality than yourself. This makes you think about all those things you haven't taken time to learn about (in this case, mathematics, schizophrenia, and a Nobel laureate's life). Then your left satisfied because you learned some things and had fun. This is a film you'll love if you like dramas.

Ⅱ 美麗心靈 影評

眼淚和耀目的光芒伴隨著他們，他們覺得這一切都來的心安理得。而荒謬的是，這部由Ron Howard導演，由Akiva Goldsman編劇的影片，其中生發出的看似純真的情感卻幾乎全是虛造的。

首先，將要嫁給納什的麻省理工的學生Alicia Larde (Jennifer Connelly飾)愉悅的跑進nash的辦公室，揮舞著手中的稿紙，她剛剛證明出了一個極端變態的假設。她的導師同時也是未來的丈夫把目光從剛喝過的紙咖啡杯挪開，瞥了一眼Alicia的證明，「很精妙，但是錯了。」他說，給出的評判挺符合一個「美麗的心靈」。

讓我們退後了看，從錯誤到精妙。納什先生今年73歲，這個尷尬而天賦異稟的人擁有他們這代人中最出眾的數學才能。他三十齣頭的時候一場精神疾病極大的打擊了他的創造能力，而他曾經在博弈論、量子力學、數論等諸多領域有著傑出的成就。經過三十多年的與精神分裂症的抗爭，他好象是得到了上帝奇跡般的寬恕，於1994年獲得了諾貝爾紀念獎，以表彰他在40年代末於普林斯頓大學所作出的經濟學成就。

總體上看，納什先生跌宕起伏的一生剛好符合電影所渴望敘事結構：光彩照人的生活慘遭不幸最終又依靠頑強的精神獲得了勝利。但是，就像Nasar小姐在之前為《紐約時報》做的經濟學報告中所說的那樣，細看他的生活，其中夾雜著諸多迷人或者糟糕的故事。在數學這個具有古怪名聲的行業中，納什先生可以算得上是一個質數。他反社會的暴躁脾氣以及他那些殘忍而危險的侮辱和惡作劇在他的同事中可算得上是臭名遠揚了。

他同alicia結婚之前，他們有了一個叫John的孩子。同時，他還是另外一個也叫John的孩子的父親，這是他同一個叫 Eleanor Stiers的女子生下的，納什後來離棄了他們。他與許多男性有著強烈而明顯的性關系，他甚至因為在加州聖莫妮卡（Santa Monica）的男衛生間中要求與人發生性關系而被捕，並且因此丟掉了他在研究與發展公司（RAND）的職務。當他的病症越來越嚴重、行為越來越無法忍受的時候，alicia與他離婚了（他們於去年6月復婚）。

上述這些我們在電影中都看不到。更糟的卻是那些被粉飾的學術和政治經歷把他的天才和瘋狂一起塑造成了一座豐碑。電影《美麗心靈》開始於一個虛構的 Helinger 教授(Judd Hirsch飾)的演講，演講上說美國的數學家在抵禦納粹的戰爭中發揮了重要作用，現在要把注意力轉向抵抗蘇聯共產主義。

這一場景以及接下來的故事將冷戰時期疑神疑鬼的學術界過分的簡單化了。當時，許多的數學家和科學家同情支持社會主義，這也包括納什離開普林斯頓之後去任教的麻省理工（而不是象電影中所說他之後在領導一項有關防禦的機密研究），當然更多的人對社會主義表示懷疑（這包括後面提到的 Robert Oppenheimer）。而nash不在其中，他被Howard導演和Goldsman先生描繪成了一個無畏的冷血戰士。即使在國防部的智囊團——研究與發展公司（RAND），他也更樂於進行純理論的研究而非實際應用，1960年他甚至嘗試著放棄自己的美國國籍並建立一個世界政府。

顯然，所有的這些對於觀眾來說都太難以承受了，任何會減少觀眾同情心的真實事件均被塗抹掉，留下了一個害羞而可愛的天才形象。當然，任何一個源自傳記的電影都會將原著修改、粉飾、強調或者壓縮，但是《美麗心靈》走得更遠，變成了同《肯尼迪》（J.F.K.）或者《阿甘正傳》一樣的歷史修正主義影片，並另人沮喪的表現出了對觀眾智慧的低估。

電影所聲稱的真實到底有多少是歷史的本來面貌？對於這個問題，寫電影的人比拍電影的人更感興趣。不過無論如何，這都沒有難倒Howard先生。但是，如果沒有以上這些令人窒息的異議，或者不相信這些事情，甚至無知的反駁說這只是一部電影，那麼這部電影就值得用它自己的語言作評判。也許，借用一下數學符號上的規矩，這部電影可以叫做《納什質數》或者乾脆叫Nashi（i代表虛數）。這個納什的故事沒有喪失它的美麗。

一方面，Connelly小姐在劇中是一個敏銳而活潑的角色，她最初是一個數學愛好者之後又成為了這個不安而難處的男人的妻子。而其他的演員，包括Ed Harris演的聯邦特工、Christopher Plummer 飾演的精神病醫生、Paul Bettany演的英國紈絝子弟、 Josh Lucas演的喜歡數學的校運動員等，都在努力不讓自己在戲中成為一個可有可無的角色。Roger Deakins用其優雅的電影手法，將戰後的普林斯頓大學變成了一個甜蜜的世外桃源。

但是，羅素克勞能夠堅持，他拒絕了每一個能把角色演的過火的機會。太多用來賣弄的機會反而不能很好的表現一個天才或者一個瘋子，即使像達斯汀-霍夫曼 (''雨人'') 和傑弗里-拉什(''Shine'')這樣有天賦的演員也很難辦到。

羅素克勞用他過人的專注精神，向我們展示了一個幾乎完全生活在自己內心世界中的人，他對人物心靈的戲劇化展現處理的旁若無人：一個模糊的微笑掛在納什的嘴邊，演講時聲音輕微而吞吞吐吐，帶有南方音韻的口吻（納什正在西弗吉尼亞長大）。隨著羅素克勞的表演，你不會認為這是演員有意為之，反而會認為這是對人物性格的深入吸收後自然生發出來的。

對於怎麼把觀眾帶入納什的內心世界，Howard導演帶來了一個就像它本身一樣簡單而聰明的想法。當問到納什為什麼會相信那些導致他疾病的幻想時，納什說，「那些想法出現在我頭腦中的方式和數學的一樣」。比起評論Howard導演編造的巧妙驚喜，我更願意認為他是找到了一個操作性強的電影的方式來表現人物的內心。（他還找到了一些娛樂的方式來表達約翰納什的數學方面的見解：讓納什贏得諾貝爾獎的理論就在學生酒吧挑選女友的策略中表現了出來。）

納什的幻覺一天天變得真實，精神分裂症不會像它所帶來的痛苦那樣宣告自己的到來。Howard先生在沒有任何預示的情況下，慢慢帶領我們進入納什地獄般的生活中，這個角色的表現似乎至少已經接近現實生活中納什先生的描述。納什在他1994年發表的自傳中寫到，「我開始理性的避免一些幻覺的影響，其中有些幻覺已經成為了我生活環境中的一部分。」

就像現實生活中一樣，電影中的納什對於瑣碎的事情沒有耐心，更樂於研究「統治力量」。《美麗心靈》中的統治力量是一種熟悉而不令人很反感的傷感的類型。這部電影實在並且也應該被理性的拒絕掉，但是你並不會完全從你的心裡排斥它。

Ⅲ 急求《美麗心靈》英文影評，簡介少一點，主要要感悟。謝謝！

《美麗心靈》我也是最近看的，很不錯的一部電影。我覺得影評你可以自己去寫，因為你肯定看過，有些感悟的。建議可以從John Nash的心理去寫，接著可以表現他妻子Alicia Larde的絕望接著耐心，相信。最後表現一個美好的結局（即John Nash獲得諾貝爾獎且漸漸克服了精神分裂症帶給他的幻覺，而Alicia Larde也欣慰了），即表現點題，片名《A Beautiful Mind》。（當然了，要加上自己的感受）這樣就不錯的。

這些都是我自己想出打出的，希望可以幫到你，另外可以問我一些問題。

Ⅳ 介紹《美麗心靈》的英文短文50字

範文：The handsome and eccentric mathematician John Nash (Russell Crowe) published his game theory when he was a graate student. His 26 page paper had a far-reaching impact in the fields of economy, military and so on.

He began to enjoy international reputation. But Nash's outstanding intuition was troubled by schizophrenia, which greatly changed his brilliant process of marching to the highest academic level.

英俊而又十分古怪的數學家約翰·納什（羅素·克勞飾）念研究生時便發表了他的博弈理論，短短26頁的論文在經濟、軍事等領域產生深遠的影響，他開始享有國際聲譽。但納什出眾的直覺受到了精神分裂症的困擾，使他向學術上最高層次進軍的輝煌歷程發生了巨大改變。

Ⅳ 美麗心靈 英文的觀後感

讀後感1：
"A Beautiful Mind" is an exceptional story, but it is only and exceptional film because of its director. Ron Howard does an amazing job of engaging his audience, introcing a brilliant main character, and making the audience experience the reality of mental illness. This could have been an unbelievable story to which very people could relate; however, the directorial mastery Howard exhibits throughout allows the audience to accompany Nash on his journey and awareness of his illness. Anyone who has been close to the frailties of the human mind will appreciate how respectfully and honestly this film approaches the subject. Howard is able to portray all the complex reactions to mental illness while maintaining the humanity and dignity of the patient. Superbly directed, wonderfully acted by Crowe and cast, this film succeeds on every level.

讀後感2：
Director Ron Howard has experience in playing with his audience's heartstrings. Remember in Apollo 13, when the fate of the astronauts was uncertain? (Ok, so if you remember your recent history, you knew.... but still!) Or remember in Parenthood, when Steve Martin's kid was about to make the crucial catch? Ol Opie can still pluck those strings with the best of them. (And you know, he'll never stop being called Opie, even by those of us who never saw The Andy Griffith Show ring its initial run.) And plucking heartstrings is not a bad thing at all, not when you can do it in such a sincere, noncloying way as the masterful Beautiful Mind presents to its viewers.

John Nash is a mathematics prodigy who has a decided knack at solving previously unsolvable problems. He's socially dysfunctional, rarely looking anyone in the eye, but pours all of his energy - and soul - into procing one original idea, an idea that will distinguish him from all of the other mathemathical minds at Princeton University.

But John, like most who have had movies made about them, had his ups and downs. He meets and falls for a beautiful student of his named Alicia (Jennifer Connelly), and they proce a baby. But John also suffers from tremendous delusions and is diagnosed with a form of schizophrenia. Schizophrenia's a tough disease, folks - it's still not fully understood, and Nash was diagnosed with it in the middle of last century. He spends time in a sanitarium, as doctors struggle to find a cure.

Russell Crowe is absolutely powerful as the confused and confusing Nash. Although the marquee says "Russell Crowe", you'll immediately forget this is the hunky guy from Gladiator. I mean after all, he's playing some nerdy scientist de! But Crowe completely disappears in the role, and he's unforgettable. Actors kill for roles like this one, because it gives them a chance to show off their acting chops. For many actors, this is the kiss of death, because then they're exposed as poor thespians. But not for Crowe; if anything, this proves once and for all that he's a grand master of acting. I realize that sounds like overkill for him, but I think that when actors are labeled as a "hunk" - their skills as actors aren't seen as very substantial. Hey, looking darn good worked against Tom Selleck, and to a degree it has worked against Crowe as well.

And he ages well, too. The movie takes place over a fairly extended period of time, ending with Nash's acceptance of the Nobel Prize in 1994. The makeup on Nash is neither garish nor schmaltzy; he looks completely genuine. And that's the essence of Crowe's performance. It's sincere, never trying to win over the audience with a sly wink here or a toss of the hair there. Crowe shows remarkable poise, elegance, and is utterly astounding in the role.

His supporting cast is more than able. Jennifer Connelly is better than I thought she would be; in most roles, she's the eye candy. But this role had meat to it, and she held her own. It wasn't an easy role to play, and she pulled it off. And her scenes with Crowe do have that movie magic that each of us looks for when we go to movies, that one moment, that compatible chemistry that leaves audiences mesmerized.

And yes, this does have some very, very touching moments. The final scene, while predictable (even if you don't know the outcome in real life), will bring more than one tear to the eye. Yes, I'll admit it, it got me right here. But it's okay; I did that old 'guy-crying-in-movie-theater' trick. If you feel the brime falling from the lid, you make a motion toward your cheek and then you scratch vigorously; people might think you have a skin infection and move away slowly, but at least they won't think you're a girly man.

At any rate, it's certainly one of the best movies of the year. Everything's in place: the direction, the photography, and especially the acting.

《美麗心靈》是一部非凡的故事，但它的導演是獨一無二的。羅恩·霍華德在吸引觀眾方面做得非常出色，他介紹了一個出色的主角，讓觀眾體驗到了精神疾病的現實。這可能是一個難以置信的故事，每個人都可以與之聯系起來，然而，導演掌握霍華德的展覽始終允許觀眾陪同納什在他的旅程和意識到他的疾病。任何一個接近人類心靈弱點的人都會欣賞這部電影是如何以尊重和誠實的態度對待這個主題。霍華德能夠描繪出所有復雜的心理疾病反應，同時保持病人的人性和尊嚴。本片導演精湛，由克羅和演員們精彩演繹，在每一個層面上都大獲成功。

Ⅸ 求一篇1500字的英文影評-美麗心靈

A BEAUTIFUL MIND (2001)

A Beautiful Mind's greatest achievement, in my humble opinion, is the way it makes schizophrenia accessible to "sane" people. The general public knows schizophrenics tend to talk to themselves, repeat certain actions and do things generally at odds with the norm. But why? It's nearly impossible for a "sane" indivial to understand why this happens...and more importantly, what that feels like. Without this essential empathy, many people become frustrated with the mentally ill, asking why patients can't pull themselves together and just bear up. We express this same impatience with the criminally insane who act upon delusions with disastrous results. It is incomprehensible.

A Beautiful Mind does all it can to change that, and it succeeds. Unless you are familiar with John Nash's story, you probably won't guess he's schizophrenic until part-way into the movie. He's eccentric, abrupt, and highly intelligent, but doesn't seem crazy. His delusions are as real as reality to Nash, and likewise, they are real to the audience, who cannot tell the difference between truth and delusion.

Incidentally, I came across a review from a "professional critic" who blasted A Beautiful Mind for including "all that spying stuff that had nothing to do with Nash's work that was thrown in for Hollywood thrill." I feel bad for that chap, since he missed the entire point of the film. But that just proves Ron Howard's genius in creating a picture of insanity indistinguishable from reality.

There are some truly shocking moments in A Beautiful Mind. When Alicia finds her husband's secret cache of newspaper clippings behind their house, I was eerily reminded of Jack Nicholson's wife in The Shining discovering his endless, typewritten pages of the same phrase. The scene that follows, culminating with Nash's realization that his delusions are indeed a false reality is brilliant. In a moment, remembering Marcee, Nash has a flash of insight, and he finally accepts his illness -- ironically, through his intellect. When Nash imagines that someone is going to harm Alicia, he lunges at her -- and only through his eyes do we see how a seemingly senseless act of violence is a gesture of love, filtered through the smog of delusion.

Now my take on the acting: Superb in every sense of the word. Russell Crowe is incredible. I can't stress that enough. There's never any question about the authenticity of his character. Crowe doesn't rely on his elaborate makeup to age Nash -- his walk, words, and voice do that elegantly in the movie's end. Crowe will get at least another Oscar nomination out of this one. And, he better win. Jennifer Connelly is amazing as well. And when Crowe and Connelly are put together, extraordinary chemistry erupts, they just gel together, they really belong with one another. Some people have had problems with the romance part of the movie, saying that the way John and Alicia even started seeing each other wasn't very realistic and why Alicia would stay with John after he becomes distant. But, I think that maybe it started out as just a crush, you know, and the math question she showed him was just her excuse for going to his office and she already knew she was going to ask him out before hand. Maybe she's just attracted to the kind of person Nash is? Who knows? A lot of people are attracted to the "weirdest" things sometimes. The crush took over the fact that he sort of insulted her work and she still asked him anyway. When you're around someone you like so much you can't help but be fooled by them. I can't really explain it, but I can understand why she still asked him to dinner. And I guess if you love someone as much as Alicia loved John, then you would stick with them through anything. Even how distant he became, she still stuck with him.

Moving on, I think Ed Harris is, as always, great. Harris continues to prove that, simply because he's flawless. With delusions like these, no wonder Nash was torn between treatment and "spying."

Simply put, A Beautiful Mind is a film which extends far beyond the 2 hours and 15 minutes that you will spend viewing it in the theater. The characters continued to haunt me after the movie (and still do), thanks to the Oscar-incing performances by Russell Crowe, Jennifer Connelly and all of the supporting players. They are not merely acting, yet are transformed into the characters, leaving no trace of a line between their part and reality.

Of course a film is only as good as a screenplay would allow, and the story contained within is written in a way that compliments everything that is truly great about A Beautiful Mind. Ron Howard contributes truly inspiring work to this film, and I hope that the critics remember him when awards are being given out.

All I can tell you now is that if you're looking for an emotionally-charged movie that will make you cry, but still filters in some very funny moments as to lighten things up every now and then, with near perfect acting, cinematography, directing, editing and a screenplay which will cause the story of John Nash to inspire you, then consider A Beautiful Mind.

I hope a lot of people see this film. Not just because Russell Crowe is a hunk or because it's a Ron Howard piece, but because you will learn something important. You will learn why compassion is an absolute must when dealing with the mentally ill. You won't glare at the next person you see muttering to themselves. And when someone you love is dealing with a disorder, be it schizophrenia or depression, you won't ask them to "pull themselves together." You will understand why they need your love -- because they are just as confused as you are.

In closing, if Russell Crowe isn't awarded the Best Actor Oscar this year, then my faith in movies and its rewards system will be seriously tarnished.

Ⅹ 《美麗心靈》的英文評論

I wasn't actually planning on going to see "A Beautiful Mind" in the first place, but as it was, I was convinced by the friend that accompanied me that it was truly something to see. And now, after seeing it, I thank her for that. Instead of spending two and a half hours watching George Clooney and Matt Damon rob casinos or Kevin Spacey and Julianne Moore dealing with their problems in New Foundland, I found myself pulled into another kind of story, a powerful, emotional story of how one man learned to battle his own demons and dazzle the world.

"A Beautiful Mind", based on the novel by Sylvia Nasar, is the story of John Forbes Nash Jr., the genius mathematician, whose life suddenly takes a turn for the worse when he is diagnosed with paranoid schizophrenia. After fierce battles with his inner self, he overcomes this and returns to win the Nobel Prize in 1994 for his brakethrough game theory in economics that he had been working on ring his years in Princeton University in the 1950s.

John Nash, portrayed very well by the versatile and brilliant Russell Crowe, is a partly shy, yet ironic and sometimes even arrogant, gifted young student studying in Princeton University in the late 1940s. He dedicates his time to numbers and equations, set on to solving every problem at hand, rather than mingling with co-students on the football field or in the pub.

Nash is later on introced to Sylvia (played by the lovely Jennifer Connely), a physics student attending his classes. She helps Nash to open up and eventually discover love.

Enter William Parcher (played by Ed Harris), a shadowy and mysterious agent working for the Department of Defense. Parcher, after realizing Nash's ability to see mathematical and geometrical patterns everywhere, approaches Nash with a mission that involves national security.

Now, amidst his work and relationship, Nash is suddenly thrown into a whirlwind of emotions and disbeliefs as he is diagnosed with paranoid schizophrenia. And this is the part where "A Beautiful Mind" truly shines: in portraying the disorder from Nash's own point of view. In a powerful and emotional way, it shows the viewer how difficult an illness like this can be to not only face, but overcome, something that people today may not always realize.

Before seeing this movie, I must admit that I was a bit afraid that casting such a well-known actor as Russell Crowe as the main character would ruin the image of John Nash, forcing the viewer to see Crowe, rather than Nash. This is a common problem when dealing with famous actors, but to my surprise, it didn't much bother me much. And the same goes for Ed Harris.

As a movie, "A Beautiful Mind" is absolutely great (It is so much more, but I cannot find the words to praise it enough, so I will simply go with "great" =). Not only does it have a strong point and an importaint message to the viewer, but it delivers it in a touching and sensitive, partly even humourous kind of way, with the help of powerful actors, a great screenplay and even a few special effects to boost it up. So for anyone whose grown tired of the consant pointless action-movies out there, and instead want to immerse themselves into a character-driven story that might actually bring a tear to your eyes, I sincerily recommend "A Beautiful Mind".
