- A Beautiful Mind (2001): The movie monitors John Nash (Russell Crowe)’s steady growth of paranoid schizophrenia. It is accurately presented for many reasons; first being his character is quite relatable. He is not shown to be a monster, as most with paranoid schizophrenia frequently are. He is an intellectual but an ordinary man who can’t help but see all the relationships in life crush because of an illness he cannot control.
- This movie delivers a candid analysis of John’s trauma and is sympathetic towards him. The ending of this film is very realistic as well as inspiring; unfortunately, there is no absolute cure for schizophrenia which is why John is shown to live is life as best as he can alongside his hallucinations.
