The Real Story Behind “A Beautiful Mind”

His Family Was Involved

At one point during the movie, Nash can be seen talking to the imaginary agent, William Parcher. Parcher tells John that he has been chosen to work for the government to help fight the Russians because he has no ties – no family and no friends. In fact, his family is never discussed in the film at all, which begins while John is a young adult already at university. Contrary to this, his family was very much involved in John’s life. His mother and sister consistently tried to help him and were an important source of support.
