Film Club - Week 3 - A Beautiful Mind (2001)

Well, I just about managed to sit through this piece of Hollywood fluff! What is it with Ron Howard and overly emotive sugar?! It's always drowned out pastels, retro sets, orchestral musical moments and a good ol' over-coming adversity screenplays with him! :yawn:

Didn't like the portrayal of mental health in the film at all; once again replicating old stereotypes of bizarre erratic behaviour and self-pitty :sleep:

Thought Russell Crowe was mediocre in the role, although surprisingly, I felt that Jennifer Connelly was actually quite good!
 
I found this movie incredibly boring. I had to switch it off for the last half an hour. Can i make a request for next week? Can we have a film in which something actually happens please?
