Based on the life of John Forbes Nash, Jr., the nobel prize winning mathematician, this film explores his life, genius and madness.

Media which explore intelligence, its quirks and consequences are (obviously) rarer than the geniuses themselves. That this movie has appealed to a broad audience, helping embrace and enlighten more typical people, is rarer still. This movie is very strongly recommended.

Inspired by A Beautiful Mind (book) (1998), an unauthorized biography of Nash.

These are old notes from earlier short videos, which were removed and which I don’t have.

This will get updated if and when I re-watch the proper thing.

A documentary-style mini-series that touches on bunches of the history of western science, but then gets absolutely horrifyingly abysmally wrong. So wrong as to be a bunch of lies.
