The Real Story Behind “A Beautiful Mind”

A Long Road to Recovery

John Nash Pointing

The stability of Alicia’s home seemed to have a profound effect on Nash. He was able to be around his son, which pleased him. Eventually, he began to put less faith in his delusions and was able to function relatively normally. More importantly to him, he was able to produce good work.The fictional version of John chooses to ignore his imagination – his roommate Charles, his niece, and Parcher – which is inaccurate as they didn’t exist to him. However, he did consciously ignore any voices he heard or any tendencies he was able to rule as unreal. Alicia and John resumed their relationship in the 90’s.
