A Beautiful Mind is a 2001 American biographical film about John Forbes Nash, the Nobel Laureate (Economics) mathematician.

Hi,

What does "a beautiful mind" mean exactly? Is it a beautiful brain? Thanks.

Without true love, life is meaningless and worthless since our physical world is nothing but a dream. ~~Angliholic~~簡瑞達

Hi Angliholic

Have you seen this film? Or do you know the story of John Forbes Nash?

I'd say that 'a beautiful mind' refers to high intelligence or genius. However, in the context of a biography of Nash, we know that he was not only abnormally intelligent, but also that he was abnormal in the sense of "defective mind function" as well.

Thanks, Amy.

I have seen both the film and read the story.

And I concur that your interpretation is very excellent.
