How is the beauty of humanity and language art in the movie "A Beautiful Mind" presented?
A Beautiful Mind is a 2001 film directed by director Ron Howard, which tells the true story of mathematician John Forbes Nash, depicting his genius thinking, mental illness, and ultimately the path to recovery.
The protagonist, John Nash, who began his time at Princeton University as a conceited, withdrawn but very intelligent student, his unique thinking caught the attention of a professor in the mathematics department and he got a job offer in the government, where he worked with some talented mathematicians on a confidential project to decrypt enemy codes.
Over time, Nash gradually showed signs of mental illness, he began to hallucinate and delusions about fictional characters and situations, and finally he was diagnosed with schizophrenia and fell into serious psychological difficulties.
When his wife discovers his condition, she decides to support him, and even though Nash becomes more and more unreasonable in his pain, Alicia is firmly by his side to help him through his difficult situation.

In the end, Nash won the Nobel Prize in Economics in 1994 for his outstanding contributions to game theory, which was a huge recognition of his talent and tenacity.
After winning the Nobel Prize, Nash's career began to recover, and he became a well-respected mathematician and economist, but his recovery process was not easy, and he still needed the help of adherent treatment and medication to control his symptoms.
The ending presents the old age of Nash and Alicia, who continue to support and care for each other despite Nash's mental illness, who demonstrate unconditional love and loyalty to each other, and maintain unwavering optimism and hope in the midst of life's challenges.
