The movie review is for "A beautiful mind".The author of this movie is Jim Craddock (2013). He was basically giving a brief overview of the movie and common controversy of the film. This helps to see the inadequacies of the film in regards to schizophrenia."Director Howard manages to keep the inherent sentimentality and sensationalism generally under control thanks to some powerful performances from Crowe (as Nash), Connelly (as wife Alicia), and Harris (as a sinister government official). The usual controversies swirled about the accuracy of the biopic and what was left out. Ignore the petty carping."

"They can be more difficult to diagnose than positive symptoms (hallucinations , delusions , bizarre behavior, or formal thought disorder) because they represent a lesser degree of normal, desirable activity rather than the presence of undesirable or bizarre behavior."
